The hotel really is like all the “pensions” I have stayed in travelling in Europe but cooler. It was not fancy but we knew that when booking it. The room was clean as were the shared bathroom facilities and although it was fully booked when we were there we didn’t have to wait to shower. Tammy is so lovely and welcoming - she gave us lots of recommendations about places on the neighborhood to eat and stores and streets to check out. We didn’t end up eating downstairs as we were out and about all day and evening but it looked great. Such a nice vibe, lots of art on the walls and a little common area. The location is amazing, we walked everywhere although there was public transit too. Will definitely stay there on our next trip to Montreal.

10/10 niche accommodation in a very desirable area of Montreal! Reminds me of a place I stayed at once in Vancouver. Cozy, safe, excellent decor, clean, comfy, fantastic host. If you’re looking for a comfortable stay for an unbeatable price this place is for you!

Friendly people in the restaurant and pension owner was very helpful by phone ( found/gave me parking!!). There’s no one on the premises to make inquiries to though. Love the art and feel of the place. Very clean and best showers anywhere! The bar and restaurant people were so lovely, I want to take them home with me.

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.
