Summary: The historic architecture of the hotel is on display at every turn. The restoration work is beautiful, and they way they maintained elements of the old while modernizing the structure makes it an experience to visit. The rooms are very comfortable, with incredibly high ceilings and all updated amenities. The wide corridors, old carved staircase, are offset by modern conveniences. The parking lot was small but we arrived late in the evening and still found parking close to the entrance.

Summary: The hotel has a unique history with an updated touch. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The lounge/bar was nice to hang out, we had a Caesar salad and a pizza were delicious. Would stay there again!

Summary: Building was gorgeous 😍 rooms were too. Only complaints I have is there was no refrigerator or microwave and no work space.

Summary: The Richardson Hotel is an impressive and memorable place to stay. The rooms and facilities are excellent, with a distinctive character that sets it apart. Be prepared for a bit of walking — the scale of the building adds to the experience, but it is expansive. One drawback was a strong “cheap soap” scent in the room, which detracted from an otherwise high-quality stay. The bar is well worth a visit - the bartender is excellent and adds to the overall experience. For a slightly offbeat and architecturally interesting stay, it is a place I would return to.

Summary: Like staying in a castle. So unique and beautiful

Victoria Apr 4, 2026 08:10:00 PM

Summary: Free parking in the Old Montreal is unheard of so it’s a huge bonus, especially since it comes with in and out privileges. The hotel itself is average and seems unfinished with some construction going on and poor sound insulation. We had a one bedroom suite on 2nd floor right next to stairs and elevator and could hear people talking through the door and walking above us. We asked to be moved and were told that everything was booked even though hotel seemed empty on Sunday and Monday nights. The apartment itself is adequate but has no AC in the bedroom and no cooking supplies in the kitchen including paper towels or salt but comes with decent storage in the bedroom and ample shower with nice bath products. The bed was comfortable and so was the sofa in the living area. Internet was also very fast which was an asset for working remotely. Finally, there was no view from our suite 207 as it was facing a wall so it was relatively dark inside. Hope this helps other guests decide where to stay and what to consider.
