Staff were very welcoming and polite! However, it did seem like there may have been smoking (?) occurring indoors, as it smelled very strongly of it when particular staff members were present.
Overall was a lovely stay, but cleanliness can be very easily improve dramatically!
You get what you pay for. Safe. Excellent location, right downtown. Parked the car 1 block from the hotel in an indoor parking ( At the library) for $16 a day. Will be back.
Very convenient to visit most tourist attractions and downtown.

The staff and their hospitality are good. The location is great. Transportation/food and entertainment all close by. Hower the hotel needs major upgrade. The place is cheap to stay. Would I stay there again???
For the incredibly reasonable price, we got a warm room with clean beds, and 24hr front door service for security. Two min walk to the metro, short walk (even shorter subway trip) to Old Montreal, Chinatown, the ports.
Low key, no frills place. Be aware of which room you're booking, not all of them have an integrated bathroom, but some do. Owners/people who worked there were all very kind and helpful. Wouldn't necessarily recommend it to anyone, but for the purposes of my short Mtl work trip, it absolutely did the job.
Was worried about the quality for such a good price but was pleasantly surprised. Old everything but room was clean. Shower was clean enough. Room had it's own sink. Great location right next to the metro. Good cheap option if you just need a place to crash
This place is one star or less. The staff was nice . This place needs repairs and update and upgrades.

I didn’t get to use the room I had booked for and they took my money after just 5 minutes of booking. Called the manager immediately but he refused to refund after 5 minutes.
No proper customer service.

Nice little building in an amazing location (right next to berri-UQAM metro station). the only issue i had during my stay was that there was no air conditioning, and i was there on a 30° weekend so it was nearly unbearable temperature-wise

Fine for a one-nighter.
It was okay. It was clean, but tiny. The ceiling fan is connected to the light, so not the best during summer with no AC. But the window opened, so that helped.
Very friendly service.
First thing the quality of the images on the website does not match reality so it is like i booked something from here and got a completely different thing. For example, the bathroom did not have a hanger for toilet paper or the towel. they have a no refund policy. I tried talking that this does not match what I booked and I need a refund to be able to go somewhere else and the response was I will get an email in 3 days to decide if i am eligible for a refund. The room looks clean but the details are not so it is like it was not professionally cleaned in a while. Like there were dust under the bed and windows frame corners were not cleaned much longer also the fan. The bathroom does not have garbage bag in the garbage pin. put the images. the staff was friendly and polite though
The customer service was the best part of it: the employees do what they can with the lemon they are working with.
The room was way too warm and the ceiling fan was not accessible (or working?). There is no window screen, so no way to prevent bugs from coming in. There is a strong cleaning product smell that last all of the night. And I've got multiple bug bites (85% certain there are bedbugs in the room).
Please steer clear from this lemon.
The man who checked us in was very friendly! That and the fact the bed was comfortable and clean were the only redeeming things about this place.
The price is EXACTLY what you pay for. The rooms are old, dilapidated and have questionable appliances. Despite the no smoking, our room reeked of cigarettes (there was one left half smoked on the window sill and a pile of ash over the radiator.) There were used condoms in the trash from the previous occupant. The only housekeeping this hotel does is changing the bed sheets.
All that to say, it is incredibly close to the Berri-UQAM metro station and there is a super cool punk dive bar in the basement. So if you’re looking for a place to keep your things while you run around the city, it’s perfect. They do actually have 24/7 concierge so you can freely come and go. Great for a weekend out on the town, I would avoid looking at anything too closely in the daylight. No bedbugs or cockroaches though.
TLDR: Great doorman; old, dirty rooms; very few amenities but safe enough once you’re inside.

Room was clean, checked for bedbugs and found none. This was our second time staying at this hotel and did not dissapoint either time. The price tells you what you get though, so no breakfast, no room service or anything, shower and bathroom are not in the rooms, and theres not a microwave or anything to make food while not the room. Great if you're a college student, and fantastic for the price. No better cheap motel in the city
