Reviews for Hotel l'Urbania

Review 1:...we felt like we were in an industrial park. ...the room was a disappointment. We have never stayed in a hotel where the room opens up into the bathroom.

Review 2:The location was convenient but... The foyer looks professional and updated...

Review 3:The breakfast just takes place from 6:30 to 9 am. On my day of arrival (I arrived at the hotel at midnight) I couldn't find any information about the breakfast time. The following day I missed breakfast, because I was 20 minutes late.

Review 4:The staff was very nice and helpful in any case.

Review 5:The Wifi was poor and you had to reconnect every couple of hours. No big deal.

Review 6:Parts of this property have been beautifully renovated and our room was nicey down. 20 minute walk to downtown and very close to a shopping mall.

Review 7:It is in a bad location, very industrial look surroundings.

Review 8:Whole facility very clean, looks new Very good value for money Good free breakfast (judging by the money paid)

Review 9:Read upon

Review 10:Service at front desk did save your poor service offert and your false publicity like breakfast free and wifi and open restaurant and the fact that it was cold in the room so you should give an augmentation on her pay. Lea i think

Review 11:restaurant close (also for breakfeast). they did not clean the room two days, and when my wife fond a kind of cockroach when she unrolled towel ... i think that was the end of reserving at this hotel. the excuse for resto close and houskeeping was christmas time....

Review 12:bed , showe , location

Review 13:I had hockey team making noise during the whole night and the staff didn't do anything even though I've called them several time to let them stop

Review 14:The a/c was not working it was very hot room, I went to the front desk they changed room on the pool side was a little better but still not cool as an a/s should be. I did not appreciate getting lost in some alway to the breakfast, so I decide to take my car to the front to go for breakfast, on the second morning I founf a lady who was doing up rooms to get help, noone had mentionned I had a flight of stairs to go up.

Review 15:Service from the staff was excellent Breakfast was very good food was good also.Yes I would send people to the Urbania. I had my laptop very easy on the wifii, no problems.I was from the western part of Montreal Stella

Review 16:Even a discounted room should be clean..room had visible dirt on the floors (shoes stayed on)..toilet didn't flush and shower didnt drain..all the positive feedback for this motel is based on suites up front not economy rooms in the back of the building..

Review 17:Not too far off the Hiway with some convenient stores nearby.

Review 18:I was told the pool would be open at 8am, yet when I went to swim around 9am, it wasn't open yet. When I finally find someone to open the gate, the pool was full of dead bugs. I swam anyway because I was stiff from walking around Quebec for several days, and needed the stretching I get from swimming. But ewww. There was also no path or pavers going from the walkway to the pool. I had to walk across muddy grass, which I then tracked into the hotel and my room when I walked back in, soaking wet. Thankfully, I'd brought sandals, which got very muddy. The shower and pool towels were tiny and thin. The air conditioning didn't keep the room cool. We called the desk to ask about it and they just told us how to turn it on. The room remained muggy and probably around 74 F. Their Wi-Fi kept kicking us off and wouldn't let us send email when we woke up, even after rebooting and logging back in. It was working fine the night before.

Review 19:The bed was very comfortable; it was about medium firm. The room seemed very clean and the hotel was quiet, which was perfect.The water pressure was great and the temperature remained steady. Most of the staff spoke English (along with their native French). Don't let the dismal pictures of the outside fool you, this hotel is nicely decorated inside. One note: if you don't want to carry luggage up a set of stairs, request a room on the first floor. It wasn't a problem for my husband, but I would have had trouble in my own.

Review 20:WiFi extremely poor or non existent. Tired bathroom fixtures need updating, although the exterior and interior of the building shows very well.

Review 21:Excellent location, comfortable room, with more than enough space. Convenient entry from parking lot and another entry from hallway. Good breakfast on site for a fee. ,

Review 22:moisture in shower, no refrigerator even if I was there for three nights...

Review 23:very great breakfast.

Review 24:The hot breakfast and awesome staff made the experience great!

Review 32:breakfast was not up to standard

Review 33:Breakfast wasn't even real eggs nothing was good

Review 34:No restaurant as advertised. Continental breakfast ended at 9:00,not 9:30 as we were told. Old, tired hotel.

Review 35:Very old room.

Review 36:Very good breakfast and excellent service

Review 37:the staff was helpful and the facilities provided good comfort

Review 38:everything except for it's location.But it's ok I was very content!

Review 39:I had asked for a refrigerator but was unable to have one upon arrival.

Review 40:Great value Good size free breakfast but not much selection

Review 41:Internet very slow in evening.

Review 42:Bit far from town to walk

Review 43:Price, friendly staff, good room

Review 44:No English breakfast Barred TV channels

Review 45:Near park Walking distance city centre Affordable rates

Review 46:Long walk

Review 47:Accessibility and service

Review 48:Bathroom needed to be updated.

Review 49:Nice bed. We have stayed before but this time the room was not as nice as the last.

Review 50:It's located across the street from a paper mill.

Review 51:Relatively inexpensive.

Review 52:Pool area was nice

Review 53:front view seemed bleak and empty although it was not

Review 54:back view and pool

Review 55:all emplyees was gentle but waiting too long to be serve for breakfest.

Review 56:did look a bit shabby upon arrival - large empty parking lot and front entrance closed off - wondered if hotel was actually closed! Guess we were early arrival - lot filled up overnight

Review 57:easy to find off highway price breakfast

Review 58:Staff had been called the day before arrival requesting early check-in. When we arrived the room was not ready. The counter clerk confirmed that a note was on file regarding our request. We finally were given our room at 5:20 in the afternoon. We were not impressed. There appears to be very little supervision and follow-up by the Manager to ensure the rooms are ready by mid-afternoon for arriving guests. I believe the problem resides there. Everything else however was OK but because of this "staff" issue we will not return.

Review 59:Clean rooms and quiet which was great for sleeping.

Review 60:No fridge in the room. Very noisy at night. Internet connection ends it's lease every couple of minutes and login dialog appears. Very annoying.

Review 61:It was clean.

Review 62:No room service. A (false) fire alarm rang for 15 minutes around midnight, waking me up. A barely received an apology, even if I checked out at 6:30, meaning I had a very short night.

Review 63:The hotel was nice and clean, the room, modern.

Review 64:The hotel room we had had been refurbished and was lovely.. the cooked breakfast was great.. The location was OK and only a short drive to the city centre.. .and close to shopping mails...

Review 65:Directions by the front desk person for how to get to our room were kind of cursory. He just said basically go down the hall and up the stairs. At the end of the first hall was a door marked stairs but that led outside so I closed that door and found my way. Some motels have a map of the room layout and use it to show the guest how to get there from here. Not a huge deal but something to consider since the layout is not very straightforward.

Review 66:Excellent breakfast in terms of menu items and presentation. Room was clean and comfortable. Bed was okay. A bit hard but at least we slept well.

Review 67:the hallway smelled really bad... this hotel needs some renovations...

Review 68:the room was clean however the bathroom was not to clean and there was a chip off the bottom of the bathtub....

Review 69:Bathroom was very small with the hand basin outside which is a bit awkward. Only 1 bar of soap was provided besides the sink, none for the shower/bath, but shampoo/conditioner was there. Breakfast was served on a plate, no choices given except for the style of eggs and coffee or tea. The added fruits were on the skimpy side. Half a strawberry, come on! The slice of orange had mainly skin on it. Self-serve with a bit more variety (cheese, yoghurt, muffin, etc.) would definitely be an improvement. We were told that establishment was under construction on the 1st floor, but logging up suitcases to the 2nd without elevator may be troublesome for some travellers.

Review 70:The room was furnished nicely, beds were comfortable, it was very quiet and we had a good sleep. Internet worked well. Receptionist was friendly and helpful. Lobby and dining room looked nice and breakfast was served quickly. Plenty of restaurants for dinner/lunch just minutes away from hotel.

Review 71:street appeal not great; nothing offered for breakfast that was gluten-free, other than fruit slices

Review 72:room was surprisingly attractive, comfortable, interesting decor; about 20 min walk from downtown; a great deal for the price

Review 73:Some of the instalations were easily breakable. The toilet flush and the handle were kind of cheap

Review 74:The price was really good for what we got. The room was luxurious and the breakfast(which wasn't buffet) was inclued in the price

Review 75:Staff bilingual and helpful. The included hot breakfast served at your table in the lovely dining room was very good. Hotel only a short drive to the downtown area and waterfront park.

Review 76:Lack of fruits in their breakfast menu; and they give so little food. Maybe look into having a more generous breakfast!

Review 77:Cleanliness of room and well done bed!

Review 78:Missed having a microwave in the room. But it was OK

Review 79:We thoroughly enjoyed the lovely breakfast. Service was wonderful- fast and efficient. We were visiting family so we cannot properly describe Trois-Rivieres as a destination.

Review 80:Hotel has new rooms and old ones. We were in the old part, it was ok but those who like super clean or modern, don t go there.

Review 81:The price - location very close to restaurants shopping and downtown

Review 82:1) We didn't realize until we arrived that the hotel is located directly across the street from a refinery. It smelled pretty bad. The area is completely industrial. Nothing to see except whatever is being pumped into the air by the various facilities there. It took us by complete surprise. Had we known this ahead of time we would absolutely have chosen a different location. 2) The hotel was hosting a mixed martial arts event in one of their large spaces upstairs. We went to the town center to get away from it which was good because apparently we missed an alcohol-infused fight wherein the police had to be called. Though we did see an ambulance take someone away just outside our bedroom window when we went to bed. The mma event also drew in a rougher crowd which we weren't excited about. 3) Our room was not at all like the photos we saw online. It was something I would expect from a cheap Motel 6, not the modern, urban space we expected from the photos. The lobby and halls were nice but when we reached the back area where the rooms were, it all changed. Like they only added a nicer front to an already existing motel. 4) We only came across one staff person! How is that possible?? The same lovely girl attending the reception desk was also their bartender. I do not exaggerate when I say we saw no one else. Extremely odd considering there were lots of alcohol-fueled non-guests there. Not my idea of safety. I don't usually do reviews but this experience needed to be shared with others. If you don't care about location, quality, comfort and peace of mind, then this place is for you. Otherwise, pay a few extra dollars and stay at one of the nice B&Bs in town. We didn't because this place sounded good online and the B&Bs had shared bathrooms. I would've gladly shared a bathroom with someone else than stayed at this place where my husband wouldn't even trust the sheets. :(

Review 83:Proximity to the town center. In other words, stay in town instead.

Review 84:Breakfast was not in buffet style - it included toasts, two eggs and coffee. If you like to have something else, like orange juice or sausages, you have to pay.

Review 85:Very new and clean facility, a big bed and TV, deluxe shower. Free wifi and breakfast included.

Review 86:Was not really up to par. Rooms not as impressive as entrance. Rooms not updated completely. Breakfast not more than that.
