Positive Reviews
positive:
A good location for tourists.
From this hotel travellers will be able to easily get around Montreal. It's location in the middle of the Latin Quarter puts it very close to downtown with a good bus service close by. As a result there is plenty to see and do in the area.
positive:
Great front desk service is provided.
Friendly faces and efficient service is provided by the staff at this hotel. Not only are they very helpful with issues onsite, but they are also very knowledgeable about the area as well.
positive:
Accommodation is really inexpensive.
All of a person's basic needs are covered at this accommodation. While the property doesn't have many amenities, stays come at such a bargain rate that most people don't mind having to get out and about for adventures.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Property needs a really good cleaning.
This entire hotel needs a good scrubbing from floor to ceiling, according to reviews. Dirty carpets and furnishings, along with stains on the linens, all contribute to bad smells that can put guests off.
negative:
Pretty simple breakfasts are offered.
According to posted comments guests should forget about staying onsite for the complimentary breakfast. The free meal has only the bare minimum of offerings with juice and croissants, and there aren't any hot items at all.
negative:
Wi-Fi signal is very weak.
Getting connected to the Wi-Fi service is very difficult at this property. With a lot of assistance some people are able to get online, but they aren't able to do much with the connection.
