Our stay was so nice. Albert was so friendly in welcoming us and telling us what to do and gave us a map. The place was perfectly located where activities are. The room was clean and quiet. We had a great stay. The location was in the heart eateries of different ethnic foods. It felt safe and people are still in activities even late. But when you get to your room it was very quiet and no noise that we were able to gave a good sleep. Thank you for the great stay

Took a New Years trip with my boyfriend to Montreal for 4 nights and we could not have chosen a better place to stay. Perfect location across the street from the Metro station that is connected to 3 different lines, surroundings full of bars and restaurants and a 15 minute walk to Old Montreal.
Albert deserves a separate review for himself as not only was he attentive to details including making sure we knew the right bus to get from the airport to the hotel but also incredibly kind and friendly. He recommended many different places and when our flight got canceled he made sure to let us know to come back if we needed a place to stay and that he would be there to help us.
We plan on returning to Montreal during the summer to enjoy the city in a different season and this will be the first place I'll check for accommodations.

We stayed in a suite (room 301) for a few days for a business trip. This darling little hotel is in a fantastic, central area, surrounded by restaurants, cafes and bars. The suite was quite large and comfortable, with a separate living room and small balcony. The queen bed was comfortable and the pillows and linens were very good quality. Bathroom was well appointed with a large shower, and everything was very clean. Indoor parking was available, and the charming owner was very helpful in guiding us when we arrived. I would absolutely recommend this hotel, though it is important to remember that this is a very active and lively neighbourhood, so if you are sound sensitive or a light sleeper, it would be best to request a room in the back of the building.

Not a full service hotel in the traditional sense, yet we never felt neglected. Located on the first floor and in the back, our room (103) was quiet and immaculate, and the decor was lovely. Housekeeping is available on request by hanging a sign on your door requesting it. Access to the hotel and our room was done by keycode. There is no front desk service although a phone number is given should a situation arise. There are over a dozen restaurants and bars within a few feet of the hotel making it easy to find a place to eat/drink after a long day out. There is a small breakfast and snack bar on the second floor. I highly recommend this hotel for both ambiance and location. The only drawback is no elevator and narrow stairs which could be a problem for some.

Nice hotel within walking distance of attractions. Breakfast via a local bakery yards from hotel. Paid Parking in secure underground parking lot within 5mins walk.
Room was clean, Wi-Fi excellent, good strong shower and comfy bed. We normally book ‘the man’ but would recommend this hotel.

Ideally located in the center of Montreal. All activities nearby (theater, shows, restaurants etc...). Metro station also 100m away. Paid parking but 20th per day is not expensive. Friendly welcome. A real small "family" hotel like we would like to find more often. Only downside, lack of breakfast but all shops nearby.

The staff were super friendly and made our stay special. Our room (301) was perfect with a balcony overlooking the street, but was quiet once we closed the doors. Loved watching the street performers and night life. We would stay here again!

Historic boutique hotel in a trendy and vibrant section of Montreal. I had a spacious suite on the top floor complete with a bedroom, bathroom, sitting room, and back terrace. Amazingly clean, and quiet after the dinner hour. The host was quite friendly; ensuring myywell-being. Rooms were cleaned every day. Very easy access to restaurants.

I'm writing this review using the hotel's free wifi, and just packing up after a four night stay here.
It's a brilliant hotel: the rooms are clean, stylish, really well-appointed and very comfortable; the housekeeping and reception staff who I have met have been charming, helpful and very friendly; the location of the hotel is convenient and very vibrant (you must bear in mind that it is on a busy street, but that's good if you want to feel like you're in the thick of the city).
It's very good value for money, and I'm glad I paid attention to the good reviews. This place definitely deserves all the praise it gets on this website.
