I stay at a lot of simple lodging while traveling, often at religious guesthouses or hostels. This one is very nice for this type of lodging. It's not a luxury hotel with all the amenities, no, but it actually does have a lot of amenities! Free parking lot (!), light breakfast included, and access to a kitchenette/fridge. Large building with a lot of common areas and rooms with seating. The chapel is lovely. I had a double bedroom with shared bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. There is a sink in the room so you don't need to use the shared bathroom as much as you might think. The bathrooms are along the hallway and there are a few different ones that you can pick from to us. The bathrooms were all clean and in good repair. I stayed here one night and then had reservations at a much more expensive hotel in Old Montréal for two nights - to be perfectly honest I would have been smarter to just stay here the whole time as the difference in price for the swanky hotel was certainly not worth it (though I did enjoy the hotel's central location more). But I am someone who travels solo a lot, doesn't mind simple housing, prefers cheaper options, and doesn't mind walking or taking public transit. If I return to Montréal I will certainly stay here again!

Safety
Seemed pretty safe, although I took greater care to secure belongings as it is more of a community environment/hostel than it is a hotel
Walkability
It's not super walkable except to the Oratory itself and to the immediate neighborhood. However if you are willing to use public transit it's fairly accessible to the metro and to bus stops.
Noteworthy details
Free parking!! Unheard of in the middle of the city. The lot by the pavilion is relatively small, however, and while they would likely let you park in one of the Oratory lots if it is full the current construction at the Oratory means that the other lots are fairly far away from the pavilion.

A place most suitable for any pilgrims visiting the Oratory of Saint Joseph! I went there winter time for an overnight stay. It was about a 5-10 minute walk away from the Oratory. The balcony in my room was beautiful even in the cold months, I can only imagine how nicer it would be in the spring and summer time. There's a chapel on the second floor, great place for morning and evening prayers. Amenities-wise, there's a parking lot in front and there's a common dining area with microwave, toaster, and hot water. They offer a mini breakfast on little baskets. I love how the rooms have a lot of sockets, has its personal ref and extra fan. The personal sink reminds me of a convent-style room, which I like--so accessible if you need to wash something. I chose to have a shared bathroom, but at the time it was reserved for me only, because there weren't many occupants. Check in time is between 1500 to 2200. Check out is at 1100. So happy with my stay, will surely come back :)

Great view, Quiet

Just came back from my first ever trip to Montréal and this hotel was perfect for our needs! Went with my youth group and the parking lot, and meeting rooms were convenient. The hotel itself is generally quiet, cozy, and has a sacred feel. Also the place is incredibly clean and well-mainted for the affordable price that they charge, thanks to to it being affiliated with St. Joseph's Oratory ⛪ (which is within walking distance). Put simply, the value you get from this place is unbeatable. Lastly, the Mont Royale views are amazing and the hotel is located within 10km from the city center which is not bad :) Only downside are that all rooms on each floor have one shared washroom, but surprisingly this was less annoying that I had expected during my stay.

Bel endroit pour se reposer et se ressourcer, endroit tranquille pour personne seul, en couple et aussi en famille, il ne faut pas se fier à l'adresse que Google donne il faut se diriger sur l'entrée principale de L'Oratoire Saint-Joseph et suivre les indication sur le sire pour y arriver, en transport en commun, je suggère de prendre la petite navette de L’Oratoire et demander au chauffeur de vous laisser à la porte.

Difficile à trouver le soir. Mais avec un bon taxi, c'est faisable. Accueil aimable. Bon petit déjeuner inclus. On se sert soi -même. Modeste mais ok pour un usager d'un hôpital par exemple. (Le prix aussi est modeste. ) Bon pour quelqu'un qui veut avoir la paix près de l'Oratoire St-Joseph. Sur Côte des Neiges, pas loin : Renaud-Bray et restaurants.

Good and economical place to consider staying for a pilgrimage, as we did. There is some crumbling infrastructure when we went though, for example, broken water supplies. It is not entirely clean as well. At the same time, the staff had a mess up with occupancy by neglecting another group. Fortunately they had kind staff who deeply apologized for their confusion and literally compensated us with bananas!

Great place really clean peaceful affordable price Really nice people specially the receptionist Thank you

Endroit convivial et sympathique où loger à petit budget. Accessible en métro, voiture ou en bus. Se trouve sur le magnifique site de l'Oratoire Saint-Joseph. Il y a une navette gratuite qui vous récupère à la guérite et vous dépose juste en face du PAVILLON Jean XXIII

Great experience to go for scenery, peace, meditation & prayer. Went with 10 other people & really enjoyed it. A must go to place at least tey it. St Joseph's Oratory od Mount Royal is definitely a MUST. Enjoy.

Serene and Safe place/environment. Affordable. Nice customer service. But having the sink outside the toilet is a turn off.

Not a good place to stay if you travel with kids.Always remember it's not a hotel.Lots of rules to follow.People are friendly there but it's not a good idea to stay there with kids.

I wanted to do a review of the CHSLD Jean XXIII which has been closed by the Quebec Ombudsman may 4th 2018, not a review of this place which I have no idea if its good or bad.

J'aime bien ce lieu pour dormir et prier. Le service est sympathique, serviable et les lieux sont propres, quoique certaines chambres un peu froides, mais ça ne me dérange pas

El lugar esta en una zona muy facil de moverse y cerca de las atracciones más hermosas de Montreal, la asistencia es muy buena, la recamara muy comoda un servicio de primera.

Pour le recueillement, proche de l'Oratoire St-Joseph, c'est idéal. Service impeccable, endroit propre et tranquille. Commodités proches (épiceries, dépanneurs, métro)

Je recommande très fortement cet endroit pour quelqu'un qui aspire à la tranquillité & sérénité. C'est un véritable havre de paix. Un lieu à part - À découvrir !

Close 5mins to oratory Shuttle every 10mins
