We were happy with our stay - the place was clean and the beds were comfortable - but we had counted on doing laundry and the washer / dryer in the suite was out of order. The neighborhood is a little noisy, but overall a good experience.

It’s a great little spot but I don’t recommend if you have trouble with a lot of stairs as there is no elevators and many stairs. Great communication from the owner and the place looks fairly clean there were a few areas that we questionable (kitchen there was still coffee stains on the counter).

You have to make a request if you want housekeeping, in our case i didnt mind contacting them for housekeeping coz I thought its given, so when we came back to our room after our business during the day, no one came to clean, towel has not been changed, washroom supply is not refilled including toilet paper good thing we brought our own just incase. Unsatisfied, no one in the counter to ask question.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The property is located in a very walkable area. But when you enter the building you are treated by a dirty stained carpet and a strong smell of bleach that is clearly trying to mask the other smells. The unit was very dark and humid so we have to open the window but the pile of garbage downstairs made it difficult to leave the window open. The kettle did not turn on and the garbage can was broken. There was also very suspicious stains all over the duvet and the sheets. Overall i would not recommend this place.

This is a great spot if you’re looking to spend time in downtown Montreal and a place that is nearby the quay and restaurants. The place was well kept and the host was very responsive. When I visit Mtl again, this is definitely a place I’d want to come back to and stay!

Being situated in Old Montreal is definitely a huge asset. The architecture of the area is awesome! We appreciated the peace and quiet of this particular boutique hotel as well as the pleasant staff. Initially, the stairs were somewhat of a challenge for an older person but after awhile it became easier. I would highly recommend.

Awesome place :)

We really enjoyed staying here! The downside is obviously the elevator not existing, but other than that, awesome location and awesome price :) I do wish the communication was a bit faster, but it wasn't to the point where it was super unconvenient. If you're a budget traveller, this is the spot!

The property was very responsive through phone when needed and the location was stellar. Parking was extremely close in lot, which is pay as you go through an app and reasonably priced. The size of the room was extremely spacious, and comfortable. Would certainly consider rebooking with this location for future stays in Montreal.
