No elevator. So much traffic, when leaving took 45 mins to reach a block away from hotel. Very busy area. Would not recommend for a family trip. If you're looking for loud, fast and a party or two. It's a good spot.

Being situated in Old Montreal is definitely a huge asset. The architecture of the area is awesome! We appreciated the peace and quiet of this particular boutique hotel as well as the pleasant staff. Initially, the stairs were somewhat of a challenge for an older person but after awhile it became easier. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic spot. However upon arrival there was dirty towels hanging on the back of the bathroom door, hair in the bathtub, floors were dirty with bits of small trash that was never swept up. Would be a fantastic place if the cleanliness was up to par. Perhaps the cleaner had an off day???

We didn’t stay at the property because of fan motor noise was so bad it exasperated the tinnitus not allowing any relaxation while we were in the room. I tried to contact someone but no response and I hope they refund this horrible experience. Also the floors were sticky and the room smelled bad. I would not recommend this place especially for the price being charged.

There is so much to say. Firstly, if you want to be prepared, here a PRO tip…. Make sure you go to the gym before your arrival apon this hotel and mind you we are two young girls… arriving here we basically turned into bodybuilders in order to carry our bags up these damn stairs. When we got into the hotel room we noticed our sink was clogged, we went to speak to front desk and no one was there. So we went to bed…. But when we woke up unfortunately we noticed BLOOD!!!! stains on the bedding. We went to front desk.. and we had to beg the worker to speak to us. We showed her a pic of the bloody bed and she gasped and was holding back her laugh…… I’m glad we were able to amuse her. So basically the bedding was a bloody pad! How fun…. Also the place was so dirty and dusty I discovered allergies I never knew I had…. Walking on these floors bare foot will make you look like a Dalmatian dog because my foot was literally black from picking up the dust from the floor….no need for them to use a mop, because their guests turned into human brooms…. Bring slippers. One last thing….. if the big bad wolf came to blow on the building…then the door would open wide because these doors do not lock. Enjoy your stay!!!

I loved how close the property was to many attractions and other activities. The property itself was ok. I wish it was cleaner, bed sheets had scuff marks and there was some mold in shower, the shower head and shower in general needs some updating. Some of the lights didn’t work and the sink in the kitchen wasn’t working either. When I needed towels and toilet paper we got them right away and they communicated well and answered right away which was a plus.

Where to Begin - don’t stay here.
On entering apartment 303 was welcomed by the horrendous smell of what can only be described as a rotting dead animal corpse of some kind, on investigation can only assume from the rat box located in the air conditioning cubbord, endeavoured to find it but was unsuccessful. To relive myself of the smell went to open the only window in the apartment to discover it was unlockable so had to endure the thought of having the window opened by people passing on the emergency stairs at any given moment day or nite. To take my mind of the ordeal I already found myself in I went to turn on the tv to find that it didn’t work as the hdmi port on the back of the tv was missing its connectors for the cable box to provide signal to the tv - shambolic really Finally on venturing to take a shower I was met by what can only be described as numerous long hairs stuck to every wall and service throughout the bathroom. I immediately tried to make contact with yourselves and with the maids in the establishment to be met by no responsive half promises of remediation but nothing materialised. Additionally we booked for 3 persons and we greeted with towels for only 2 and the same for cutlery and amenities. Every time we asked the only people on site nothing ever materialised- not worth the price.

It was a walk up with no elevator, which was not made clear in the details. We chose this place because it also offered parking, but that was not the case. Public parking is available down the street and you can only book a spot 24 hrs at a time. Beautiful condo but the only available window looked out onto a fire escape that was badly littered. Use of scented air freshener was overpowering, not good for those with sensitivities. Otherwise convenient to all downtown tourist spots, close to waterfront and lots of restaurants.

Install an elevator or disclose ahead of time that the building is not accessible for people with handicap. The door to our room did not lock, we had no wi-fi service, the air conditioning was not functioning, and repeated calls to management were ignored. All the lights in the bathroom especially over the shower were flickering or not working at all. Nothing was as described on the Expedia site.

Good but not great
It was fine. The unit itself was spacious. There was no wifi when we got there, a quick call to the property had that fixed. The unit itself is a bit run down. Needs a paint job and possibly just a thorough look over at things. The beds are comfortable and clean. The kitchen has everything you would need to make any meal. Windows are paper thin, if you are a light sleeper, ask for an inner facing room as the street can be loud at night.

We really enjoyed staying here! The downside is obviously the elevator not existing, but other than that, awesome location and awesome price :) I do wish the communication was a bit faster, but it wasn't to the point where it was super unconvenient. If you're a budget traveller, this is the spot!
