Hotel Universel Montreal
Two pools and a shuttle near the Botanical Garden





About this stay
Two pools set Hotel Universel Montreal apart from most properties on this list, which stop at one, giving families or groups more room to spread out rather than share a single deck. The shuttle service is a genuine convenience most nearby hotels do not offer, worth confirming directly for exactly which routes it covers. Pet-friendly rooms open the property to travellers with a dog, and the fitness centre backs up a stay that leans toward longer visits rather than a single night. The Montreal Botanical Garden sits six minutes away by taxi or a short transit ride, a real outing rather than a distant excursion, and Sherbrooke / Viau is close enough on foot for shorter trips without the shuttle.

Our take
I would choose Hotel Universel Montreal for its two pools and its shuttle, two things most hotels in this area do not combine. Free parking and WiFi, a fitness centre, a bar and casual dining cover the basics at a four-star level, and pet-friendly rooms are confirmed. The Montreal Botanical Garden is six minutes away by taxi, Sherbrooke / Viau is a four-minute walk, and the airport is about thirty-five minutes by taxi. Guests rate it 8.0 across more than two thousand reviews. Do not expect a central downtown address.
- ✓Ask directly which routes the shuttle service covers before assuming it reaches your specific destination.
- ✓Bring the dog if travelling with one: pet-friendly rooms are confirmed alongside the two pools.
- ✓Visit the Montreal Botanical Garden using the short taxi or transit ride rather than walking the full distance.

Why guests love itHotel Universel Montreal is a four-star hotel where two pools make life easier for a family or a group, since children and adults need not share one deck. Pet-friendly rooms are confirmed, parking and WiFi are free, and a shuttle service runs from the hotel. There is a fitness centre, a bar and casual dining on site. The Montreal Botanical Garden is a six-minute taxi ride away. Ask the hotel which shuttle routes it covers.
