Will Always Stay Here in the Summer

I love it here. Stayed twice...once by myself and once with my wife. If you want a basic hotel (college dorm during the school year), this is it.

A dorm...and perfect!

We my wife and I LOVED it here! Highly recommended. This is a college dorm during the school year, and open to rent a room in the Summer. Think "dorm room" and you get the idea. But, it was perfect. Loved the whole experience...no extras that you don't want pay for anyway. And, on the same block and a parking garage that has the cheapest indoor parking that I know of in Montreal...$12 to park overnight. And, they have EV chargers if you have an EV. Also, on the next block is the metro station, along with some places to go to dinner or drinks. It really is a wonderful place for a basic stay. It's "nothing special," but, that's part of it's charm.

Our stay was quite good, the room was great for what we needed it for. We did have to checkout early and the staff were excellent at accommodating this request. We were helped by Megan and she was very helpful and made sure everything worked out for us. Overall, the stay was good for OSHEAGA and I would recommend it as somewhere central and close to the metro. One downside that they inform you of before you book is that there was no ac but the included fan in the room works great for cooling the room down at night.

This is a dorm, the university leased it out in the summer for travelers. The location is superb, it’s a 5 min walk to the metro and 5-10 min walk to restaurants and shops. The bathroom and rooms are dated, but for the location the pros outweighs the cons.

this is a budget property it's not fancy - don't think it is. but it's great for what it is. i would rather stay here (which i have two years in a row) then pay the crazy high prices other places. the location also is a big plus. found another place for about the same price that has air conditioning, but it was a 20 minute walk to the metro. (no thank you) there are fans in each room an it's a dorm. know that going in and you know what to expect. one of the security guards was fantastic! remembered us from the year before within in the first minute!

If you don't want to spend a lot more money just for a hotel, consider Residence Grey Nuns. What it lacks in fancy furniture and fancy lobby is made up in convenience, cleanliness, and a very reasonable price. The staff was very helpful. This hotel is not for everyone, but it is Montreal's BEST bargain for a hotel stay.

Great stay, except for the bed.

Great location, friendly accommodating staff, clean shared bathrooms. Stayed over August long weekend and was fine without AC. Disappointed the bed was not an actual mattress, but a thick gymnastic mat/foamie. Even for a 138lbs woman, not very comfortable. Would have appreciated knowing this before booking.
