Good for a quick stay and for the price. It’s loud at night as others have said but i was able to sleep fine with ear plugs. It’s a cool quirky place for a quick stay. No eating allowed in the room. Mirror in the room would be great.

Great location in a cool neighbourhood for a great price! Our host, Tammy, was super friendly and responsive. The room, plus shared bathrooms and common areas are clean and have that old Montreal vibe. Remember that you are staying at a well known music venue so the streets are lively and there is some noise bleed. That said, the rooms are soundproofed and we had no problems sleeping - bring earplugs if you are worried! Thanks for a great stay!

In the heart of Montreal's artist community this is a very friendly, welcoming spot to immerse yourself into the city's music and cultural scene. Don't go looking for a sauna or lounging in your room watching t.v all day, there is none of that. Clean, comfy, modest accommodations in a great location with good food and drinks downstairs and nearby. Live music downstairs certain evenings.

I stayed at Pensione Popolo for multiple weeks on a work trip and Tammy the manager was super accommodating, available for questions and making sure the stay is going smoothly and comfortably. Amazing location right in the iconic Mile End, close to metros, bus lines and walking distance to different neighbourhoods, parks and food. Crisp A/C, fast wifi and multiple shared showers/bathrooms. Even with the communal aspect there is a lot of privacy and all of the other guests I met seemed happy and polite! The negative reviews are confusing to me as if you read the booking it clearly states what amenities are present in the space. Yes you are on one of the main arteries of Montreal - sounds of city come with it! There is a shared fridge and kettle. Even with my long term stay I made it work just fine. Truly an affordable, well located place to stay after exploring Montreal all day! I would definitely book in here again.
