We stayed here during JazzFest. Our room on the 6th floor was spacious, clean, and very quiet. The staff-at the front desk and the parking staff -were less helpful and patient than they were on our previous visit. None the less we certainly will stay here again.

I have just returned from a night at the Square Phillips.
The hotel is wonderful and I have never felt so much at home. I stayed on the 5th floor and my room overlooked the street. The view wasn't very impressive, but that was easily made up by rooftop terrace.
Breakfast is continental with fruits, muffins, bagels, cereals, juices and hot drinks. During the rest of the day if you get hungry you can make a meal or snack in your room as each room has a fully equipped kitchen. There is a full sized fridge, oven, dishwasher, microwave and toaster.
The pool is nice, small but nice. The only drawback is that because of the pools size, they ask that no more then 10 people be in the pool at a time. On the same floor as the pool there is a small workout room and a terrace that lets you see all the view that you may not have from your room. Even on a rainy day it was still lovely.
For those that don't want to cook, there some nice restaurants in the area. Everything from pizza and italian to typical fast food.
There were three of us and we shared a one king bed room, with a rollaway bed for the third person. Prior to seeing the room I was worried that the bed wouldn't fit, after seeing the room, I know it would be no problem.
Overall I would say this is probably the best hotel I have ever stayed in Montreal. It is very close to the Metro (McGill station is closer not Place Victoria as was originally told to us by a subway employee), Eaton Centre, numerous other shopping centres and St. Catherines St.
I would not hesitate to stay here again and would recommend it to anyone and everyone.

We only stayed one night at Le Square Phillips, but for a centrally located hotel in the city combined with the accomodations, I would certainly make this my choice in Montreal.

Via the Tourism Montreal site I had originally booked this room on their 1/2 price off third night special (which would have been a great value) but due to a change in travel plans I decided to stay in Old Montreal at a B & B (which for a first time visitor I'm glad we did - loved this "old" area as a base), then retuned to this hotel for one night/day after a trip to Quebec City for four days.

First - it was a great location for the Jazz festival. Close enough to the free concernts (within two blocks), but far enough away from the scene. The hotel itself is very close (another two blocks) to the train station (VIA RAIL), metro is within a block and the hotel is central to the "underground" (shopping/eating) and numerous, numerous shopping options at the street level (St Catherine street is one of the bordering streets on this square and is a mass mecca of retailers if that's your interest). The popular "Le Bay" department store also is on this block. Few good fast food type restaurants right outside your door - with street side (under tent) seating (in the good weather). Pizza place right next door was great, and very popular with the locals so that gave us a good hint to try it out! Museum mile is also within a few blocks - so as said - this location is very accessible to a lot of what the inner city offers.

Hotel itself , as said many times in previous reviews, is built for a family. Rooms/suites are enormous. We stayed in a King Studio (only two of us) which is the smallest accomodation and with the kitchen table and full kitchen area it was very, very spacious. Our room was extremely clean, all amenities, kitchen ware, glassware, plates, everything you would need to cook in was spotless and plentiful. Good size bathroom, spacious and clean. Very updated. Plenty of dresser space, closet space. Large windows (we overlooked the square). New flat screen TV (large) and bedding was comfortable. For an extended stay, this place is ideal! Hotel itself (our floor) was quiet and the continental breakfast was the usual - but plentiful (toast, bagels, criossants, cereal, waffles, fresh fruit, juices and coffee & tea). No complaints at all. Staff was very nice and helpful in our contacts with them (check-in, taxi service and baggage service).

It rained the entire time we were here and due to the short time we never got to even see the pool. But a family full of kids in the elevator soaking wet said it was just fine rain or shine.

For the quick stay we had and an opinion based on that - I wouldn't hesitate to stay here upon return to Montreal; especially iin the value your get with the full kitchen options in the accomodation and the "largeness" of the room(s) as a whole. Excellent value.

We stayed from June 26-30 in a Junior Suite. Convient to the Jazz Festival, yet a quiet reprieve when we needed it. Huge comfortable room with a full well appointed kitchen. Lovely roof deck, but the pool is too small for real swimming. There is a complete grocery (IGA) a few blocks away in the lower level of the Place desJardins and the Hyatt Hotel for wine, cheese, pastries, fruit and snacks.

We would gladly stay here again. J & J, Putney, VT
