Concierge "The blandest of names gives entirely the wrong impression of this 17-room gem in the Lower City's cute, cobblestoned Sainte-Catherine district."
Fodor's "The rooms, divided into economy, business, and first class, are as comfortable as those in far more expensive establishments." Full review
Lonely Planet "The wooden-panelled reception area does nothing to prepare guests for the full-colour decor in each uniquely designed room transporting you to, say, Tahiti, Congo, Cuba or Zanzibar." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Situated in a peaceful location to the north of Place Ste Catherine (the city’s old fish market), Hotel Welcome sits in the midst of some fabulous fish restaurants."

Michelin Guide "Period lobby and lounges, a retro-style lounge bar with columns, a piano and frescoes, and luxurious bedrooms and suites."
Concierge "A robust and blowsy dowager duchess of a hotel, this 298-room Victorian has seen continuous service since 1895—amazingly, it's the only 19th-century survivor in the city."
Lonely PlanetTop choice
