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.

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.

Excellent location, although it's student accommodations, given the cheap rate, I would say it's good value for money.

Great budget friendly option!
It's a great affordable safe option in the heart of Central Montreal near everything. It's budget friendly and no thrills.

The residence is very clean and quiet; the staff is super friendly. It’s in a great location, just a five minute walk to the subway / metro station Guy-Concordia, from which you can travel across the city with ease. I would definitely stay here again.

This is my new favorite place to stay in Montreal! What you get is all you need…a bed and a bedroom. I’ve paid 3 times as much and get extra perks at other places, but I’d much rather spend that extra money on fun things in Montreal. I also love the history of the place.
