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).

The communication needs improving. I had to call expedia to contact the property so we can get in.
Also they do not give back the security deposit instead ask you to reach out to your bank within 5 business days to get that refund.

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.

Very nice hotel, it is a two story apartment with 2 washroom and 2 bedrooms. Lower level is living, dining room, kitchen and washroom. Upper floor with 2 bedrooms, washroom and laundry (washer dryer). Very clean with hardwood flooring. Kitchen comes with pans and pods, plates and tools. The only thing you need is your own oil and spices. The service is great, although there is no reception, you can just leave message to them, they will provide you all access and info including the parking info by text message. Not even mention it is locating in the core of old Montreal. Price is good. Noted that there might be some broken hardware here and there, I don’t mind because I always bring a screwdrivers when travel. I cam easily go ahead and complain about it but hey, I am on vacation after all. I considered this as one kind of experience.

No elevator. So much traffic, when leaving took 45 mins to reach a block away from hotel. Very busy area. Would not recommend for a family trip. If you're looking for loud, fast and a party or two. It's a good spot.

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!

Fantastic spot. However upon arrival there was dirty towels hanging on the back of the bathroom door, hair in the bathtub, floors were dirty with bits of small trash that was never swept up. Would be a fantastic place if the cleanliness was up to par. Perhaps the cleaner had an off day???

I loved how close the property was to many attractions and other activities. The property itself was ok. I wish it was cleaner, bed sheets had scuff marks and there was some mold in shower, the shower head and shower in general needs some updating. Some of the lights didn’t work and the sink in the kitchen wasn’t working either. When I needed towels and toilet paper we got them right away and they communicated well and answered right away which was a plus.
