Great location. Just two blocks away from Berri-UQAM metro station (which is the intersection of the green, orange and yellow line), so it’s very convenient to get to different places by metro (it’s also close to Saint Laurent station). If you don’t mind a bit of walking, it’s possible to go Old Montreal and Chinatown by foot as well. It’s in the heart of Quartier des Spectacles and very close to Quartier Latin, so there’s a lot of restaurants to choose from.
The room itself was very nice. The bed frame was a bit creaky but the mattress was fairly comfortable. Lots of space to spread your luggage around, and there’s a closet with many hangers, an iron and anironing board. The kitchen comes with a fridge, stove, and a bunch of utensils like pans, pots, and tableware. There’s also a toaster, kettle, and coffee maker, but I would recommend not using the first two: they’re rusty on the insides (which is the reason I’m taking off one star).
I was honestly worried about the noise, since there’s a warning about it in the notes + I got a message asking whether I’ll be okay with the noise right after I booked, but I ended up being okay with it. It was mostly chatter and music and while it was a bit disturbing, it didn’t keep me from sleeping, especially after a long day of sightseeing.
I appreciated the easy check-in and double security: there are two locks at the entrance of the building and then another one at your door.
To sum up, if you 1. are planning to use public transportation a lot or would like to walk to attractions/ 2. are going to eat out a lot and not cook yourselves / 3. are not bothered a lot by noisy environments, I would recommend this place.
