Swiss Hotel
89 Daly Ave

This charming family-owned mid-range hotel makes a great base for tourists and business travelers alike with its convenient location right by ByWard Market. The 22 guest rooms are small, but loaded with amenities, including iPads, flat-screen TVs, Nespresso machines, and iPod radios, plus some have fireplaces (and one even has a whirlpool). A Swiss-style breakfast gets great reviews from guests, but incurs a fee. There's a lovely little outdoor patio where guests can enjoy breakfast alfresco, but other than a meeting room and business corner, there's not much else here in terms of features. Note that kids under the age of 12 aren't allowed. For something with more amenities, check out The Westin Ottawa, which has a gym, squash courts, indoor pool, steakhouse, and bar -- but rates are more expensive.

L'Appartement Hotel
455 Rue Sherbrooke Ouest

The mid-range L’Appartement Hotel is a good value for anyone seeking residence-style accommodations in the heart of Montreal. It has a surprising number of on-site features for a budget-friendly property, including a continental breakfast included in the rates, a fitness center, sauna, and a large, heated rooftop pool. The property also has guest laundry facilities, meeting space, and a parking garage. Its 126 suites are not especially memorable, but they're clean and spacious, with full kitchens and private balconies. Still, decor does lean toward dated, and bathrooms are on the small side. Rates are attractive for a central Montreal hotel, but travelers seeking lower downtown rates could consider the Hotel St-Denis. 

Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello
392 Rue Notre Dame

The upscale Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello is set in a little village of barely 1,000 residents, and most travelers head this way simply to experience the resort and its famed facilities, including its top-shelf golf course and record-holding indoor pool. While the 211 rooms feature several modern amenities like data ports and HDTVs, worn interiors in rooms and throughout the hotel do betray its age, which extend back to 1930. The beautifully kept grounds, views, range of recreational activities, and historic charm are big draws. For the traveler simply looking to experience Montebello, the Auberge Montebello bed-and-breakfast offers a smaller, lower-cost option closer to the main town, but it lacks any of the Fairmont's stellar features.

Park Plaza Victoria London
239 Vauxhall Bridge Road

The mid-range Park Plaza Victoria London is a three-minute walk to Victoria Station, and is about a 10-minute walk to Buckingham Palace, making it a convenient choice for tourists and business travelers. Its 299 rooms include Executive Rooms, Studios, and one- and two-bedroom apartments with full kitchens, but room decor is less spiffy than in the public areas. Two restaurants stay open throughout the day, and room service operates 24/7. A well-equipped fitness center comes with a range of cardio- and weight-training equipment, plus a sauna, steam room, and spa. There's an Executive Lounge and a business center, but neither are open every day. Free Wi-Fi and function rooms for up to 750 people make the Park Plaza Victoria a popular choice for conference-goers. A more stylish option could be the business-friendly Amba Hotel Charing Cross, though rates can be higher.

Hotel Le St-James
355 St-Jacques

Located on the edge of Old Montreal, in a restored historic building, the Hotel Le St-James is welcoming boutique hotel with classic style that attracts both tourists and celebrities -- the latter, in particular, are musicians performing at the many nearby music venues. Here, the grandiose decor of a 19th-century bank building combines with modern updates for a visually eclectic aesthetic: The marble lobby is ornate and impressive, while the XO restaurant and bar is somewhat club-like with its ambient LED lighting and colorful modern seating, surrounded by an ostentatious double staircase and mezzanine level. The 60 rooms are traditional in style, and most have luxurious marble bathrooms and classical decorative details like Corinthian columns and tufted leather stools.

Hotel Manoir Victoria
44 Cote du Palais

The 156-room Hotel Manoir Victoria is an elegant, upscale property in Old Quebec that dates back to 1830. The hotel's style is contemporary, with a polished lobby and two sleek on-site restaurants. Rooms have either modern gray decor with sharp bathrooms or are slightly dated with homey interiors. All have flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, and free Wi-Fi, and suites offer fireplaces and/or wet bars. For leisure, there's an indoor pool, small spa, and modern gym on-site. There are handy amenities for business travelers too, including eight meeting rooms, an executive lounge, and a business center. The lobby is only accessible by stairs, though, and guests with mobility issues may want to consider Fairmont le Chateau Frontenac.

Hotel PUR, Quebec, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
395 Rue de la Couronne

Located in historic Saint-Roch, Hotel PUR is a solid upper-middle-range option for those who’d rather save some cash than be in the heart of the action. The property underwent a full renovation in 2017 and features 242 contemporary rooms with free Wi-Fi, Nespresso machines, and large flat-screen TVs, plus floor-to-ceiling windows offering city views and modern bathrooms with either deep Japanese-style tubs or walk-in showers. The restaurant is stylish and features seasonal outdoor seating, but its Quebecois food gets mixed reviews. The bright fitness center is well-equipped and offers views of the hotel’s heated indoor pool, housed in a light-filled top-floor room with loungers. Travelers wanting to stay closer to attractions may want to compare rates at the more traditional Auberge Place D’Armes, which offers just 18 charming rooms.

The New Inn B&B
2 Allitsen Road

This charming mid-range five-room inn offers a homey experience in a tranquil, residential London neighborhood that's within easy reach of the city center. A classic and cozy pub occupies the ground floor, attracting locals and guests alike with its inviting atmosphere and tasty menu of pub classics. Two resident dogs mill about the wood-furnished space, which also offers outside seating at picnic tables. Rooms, which include flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi, are a bit snug but are elegantly furnished with contemporary wooden pieces, and include such decorative elements as striped accent walls. For something in a more central location with an equally homey atmosphere and on-site pub, travelers might want to check out the Mad Hatter Hotel.

Hotel Ambassadeur Quebec
3401 Sainte-Anne Boulevard, Beauport

The Hotel Ambassadeur Quebec is located in Beauport, north of Old Quebec City. This mid-range hotel has a unique setup, with some rooms featuring balconies that overlook an indoor pool set in a large atrium. The pool area has a variety of plants, a Jacuzzi, and a kids' area. Rooms are large and fall into two major categories: renovated and un-renovated. The un-renovated rooms still feature old bedspreads and bland decor. The renovated rooms are a big upgrade, with higher quality bedding, appealing colors, and upscale bathrooms. Suites are even better; some with a fireplace, soaking tub, and huge flat-screen TV. There is a restaurant in the hotel that allows diners to bring their own wine, and both Wi-Fi and parking are free. The cost-saving location outside of Quebec City may appeal to budget travelers.

159 Knightbridge Hotel
159 Knightsbridge

For a quick place to crash in a premier central West London location, this hotel is tolerable if you can get a deal. The hotel is showing serious wear and tear, and since the hotel advertises itself as a 4-star, rather than a budget, property, many guests walk away disappointed. Amenities are few: There's a business center and room service for breakfast, but little else. Prices are usually very inflated for what you get -- guests are better off spending their money elsewhere.
