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.

Unfortunately I didn't have a good time here and had to cut my stay short and book elsewhere due to a number of issues. I was very much looking forward to it as well, so it's sad to do this. 1) Mouse in my room, scurried under my bed and I couldn't find it afterwards. Mouse poo along the side of the floor next to my bed as well. 2) Bat flew about 5m from me, indoors in the hallway on the second floor, around 2AM. 3) There was a fire down the street, smoke in my room because no A/C, had to sleep in a mask because the air quality was very poor. I had to rebook a much more expensive place as it was last minute, and I wouldn't have booked if I knew this was going to be the experience.

Don’t stay here

Absolutely disgusting. Rodents, showers don’t work properly. This place should be shut down by city officials. Staff is rude and militant. Area is unsafe. Homeless people everywhere

Great stay, great location.

Great location, nice room. No air-conditioning but with a cold shower and open the window with the fan it was fine. Bring earplugs.

no cold water for the sink, The cold tap was very hot. The room was very extremely hot and unbearable to sleep due to the heat. The fan didn't help much because of it. Very noisy, someone or group of people keep slamming doors every 20 mins in the night wich made it hard to sleep. Maybe upgrading the rooms with air conditioning with the raise of price for the room might make it better.
