Nice atmosphere. Close from everything. Students run the facility. Rooms and furniture are outdated but serve the purpose. Overall, you get what you paid for and it was best price in this area.
Ambrose Hotel was great for location to city centre. Walkable to all main attractions around. Close to Metro and shopping and restaurants. The cafe was convenient for morning coffee and bite to eat. Room was spacious and had character. Small fridge in the room would be a helpful addition. Otherwise great comfortable stay in Montreal.
We love this little hotel. There is no elevator and somehow we keep getting the 3rd floor which is 42 steps up a wonderful winding staircase! I could be mistaken but I thought I had booked a room with a King (although it would be impossible to move one up there) and wound up with a large double or small queen. The room is an adequate size but some are like large closets! Would be helpful to have iron and board in but space is an issue. Its location is perfect.
bed is super uncomfortable. Seems like the bathroom might have been renovated recently. But the room wasn’t super clean. The room was just a bit dusty. I paid about $170 USD per night. Expected better accommodation.

Charming and clean, if a bit older
Great location, an older property, excellent coffee shop in the lobby, lovely staff.
Room was clean, quiet and comfortable, but it is an older property showing its age a bit. Good value overall for the price though.
Also parking is not always available, but there is plenty of street parking.
The staff at this property was the best thing about it. They were really sweet and helpful! I really enjoyed the delicious coffee and pastries from the cafe in the lobby as well. The bathtub in our room was spacious and luxurious. The only thing I can say this property needs improvement on is the sheets.. I couldn't tell if they were polyster or some other synthetic fiber but they felt kind of like plastic. Would have been better to have cotton sheets, but other than that I really enjoyed my stay here.
This place looked great from the outside but it is definitely not a three star as billed. It's a wonderful old building but has not been kept up. The carpet in the common areas is stained brown in passageways, the corridors leading away from the rooms are falling apart. Not a nice environment. Ammenities are lacking: our toilet got plugged and there was no plunger. There was no coffee or tea making, no iron, etc. We left early. Not worth it.
The buildong is a nice and unique old buidling with lots of character. The room was sizable and the bathroom was clean and good size tub.the hotel was walking distance to almost everything. The bell centre is close which is great. Was easy to come and leave as we please.we would stay there again in a heartbeat
My booking has free parking, when we come no parking for us(because we are staying only 1 night).
We have to look for person on front, lobby is to small.
