Very Good

Room was much smaller than in the pictures and the shower door didn’t close properly so water leaked onto the floor every time it was used. The room was on the ground floor and the windows didn’t have screens which felt a little unsafe. The cafe workers were absolutely lovely and the location was great.
I was hoping for a boutique hotel but instead it is very run down and drab. Not like what the photos suggest. Desperately needs a paint job and new carpet in the halls and stairway. Could be great if they put some effort into it. Bed was however comfortable and the bathroom was at least updated. Location is excellent. Price point is steep for its condition.
Great place off the beaten path with amazing customer. Be prepared to walk some stairs but it has an old school feeling and walking distance to many things . Great place to stay if you are going to the Bell Center! Front desk was amazing !

This was not as advertised, Images online do not match the property. Room was dirty, bath was dirty, chair was stained and windows filthy. Dirty scratched walls, filthy. The overall property was in disrepair and disgusting at all levels. Also, a paid car port was in a secured alley and filthy. This is actually one of the worst hotels I’ve seen in over 40 years.
Love this place. Not fancy but clean and the staff is really nice. I like how check-in works. The cafe in the lobby is so comfortable and welcoming, a nice space with good coffee and a chill vibe. I’ll be back.
Clean, spacious room with beautiful details. Very nice staff at the cafe. Very convenient location. Slept amazing. We had a great stay.

The hotel staff were very responsive and easy to reach by email. The young folks working at the cafe in day time were very friendly. There was supposed to be check-in instructions sent through expedia, but it seems like there was an issue because we had to call to receive those (this could be an issue through expedia). There are no staff in the hotel at night which seems a little weird and problematic but we were able to get in. The bed had really strong smelling detergent on the blanket which gave me terrible asthma. There was also a weird like… fluffy foam blanket between sheet and blanket. The toilet seat and bathroom fan were broken and the shampoo and body soap in shower were very low and ran out. The room was mostly very clean but there was a lot of dust on baseboards especially around bathroom door. Overall, the experience was fine but for the conditions, I’d expect to be paying $60 not $170/ night. The AC worked well, the essential areas were clean, and the street was very quiet, so if you have to stay here… it’ll do.
Located on a quiet side street, walkable to shopping and restaurant and easy access by car. The coffee shop in the lobby is nice, great coffee and pastries. The room was a bit small but we were only there to sleep and shower. Our only complaint is that all the bed mattresses were very uncomfortable and we did not have a good sleep.
Easy access to Mont Royal and the art museum. The concierge was helpful with storing our bags and directing us to available parking. There is limited paid parking at the hotel. There is a sweet little cafe in the hotel but we did not eat there. The basic room was big enough, clean, and had everything we needed except for hair conditioner in the shower (the refillable container was empty). The curtains do not close all the way and one was partially unattached. The rest of the hotel is worn and all of the carpeted common areas needed vacuuming. The biggest problem was the air conditioner unit in the bedroom dripped water all over the floor and on the TV that is wall-mounted under it. Some touch-ups and basic cleaning would go a long way to making this hotel worth the cost.
Enjoyed my stay in this charming accomodation. The staff was so friendly- I was welcomed immediately! Comfy room. Great coffee! Quiet. Highly recommended!
I paid $237 USD per night to stay with my family of four in Room 102. While the location is nice, the property clearly needs more attention—particularly with cleanliness. The bathroom was in poor condition and looked quite unclean, which was disappointing after a full day of travel. We had no option but to use the facilities, but I expected a much higher standard given the price. Photos attached.
I rarely write reviews, but I felt compelled to share this experience to alert future guests. Management should prioritize cleanliness to meet the expectations that come with this price point.
