Historic Heart
Travellers can't fault this Latin-Quarter hotel's location, just five minutes' walk from the subway and ten minutes' from downtown Montreal. Reviewers like the pleasant stroll to restaurants and bars in Quartier du Spectacles. Guests also find the old port, Palais des Congress and the Gay Village, nearby.
positive:
Easy on the Wallet
Reasonably priced rooms with shared bathrooms are a top pick with budget travellers, who don't mind queuing for a shower to save a few dollars. Many guests who book rooms with private bathrooms describe them are basic but cosy. Reviewers appreciate the free Wi-Fi in rooms.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Boutique Means Budget
Though this property purports to be a boutique hotel, some reviewers suggest it is more of like a hostel. Housed in a badly-maintained historic building, the hotel is said to have dark, dingy corridors. Travellers sometimes feel threatened by locals congregating outside the urban property.
negative:
Housekeeping Hiccups
Some travellers say this hotel's cleaners could do more to make these budget guestrooms inviting. Guests occasionally mention dirty blankets on beds. Mattresses are also said to be a bit grotty. Some find debris on badly swept floors. Old shower units in bathrooms are often described as mouldy.
negative:
Earplugs and Fans
Guests dislike the noisy air-conditioning in this historic building. The system runs off small individual units outside windows, some of which have seen a better day. Travellers who have stayed during a heatwave say rooms become saunas in summer, when the aging air-conditioning gives up the ghost.
