super cute and charming stay!! great price and location with many restaurants and bars within a 15 minute walk. the shared space was so cute and everything was very clean.
Staff were SO nice and accommodating, quick to respond. would definitely recommend for a traveler looking for more eclectic experiences!!!(:
It's not fancy but a great option if this is the area in Montreal you're looking to visit. Worked really well for my family of four to catch a concert at the nearby Fairmont Theatre. Clean enough for sure and we felt safe and secure.
We loved Pensionne Popolo and will be back! It was very convenient to restaurants, all kinds of shopping, music events, and close to the Metro. The room and shared bathrooms were clean and the other guests were quiet and respectful.
This is a really fun place to stay. If you are able to carry your bag up four or five flights of stairs. It was a great price and the place has lots of personality!
This hostel-like stay was pretty convenient. We had a private room with our own bathroom but they have multiple bathrooms on the main level for others. The window did not lock which made me a little uneasy. I liked the location of this place. The shopping strip with many restaurants was within walking distance. Casa del Popolo was a decent vegan restaurant with outside seating by the street or back patio that offered live music in the private room for $20. The music from shows is loud in the room and there is no TV but we didn't mind. Overall it was a decent stay and we would stay here again.
This isn’t a hotel and is in an old building in Montreal. There is a bar down stairs so bring earplugs. The best way to get in touch with the staff is to text the number in the information email, and the door code changes right at your check out time so don’t leave and expect to get back in. The stairs are very steep so carrying large things to your room can be a challenge and it is definitely not accessible. Some rooms share a bathroom.
But if you understand and expect all of that, this is the perfect affordable place to stay in a sweet interesting part of the city.
Lovely old walk-up pensione in a great Mile End Neighbourhood. Surprisingly quiet. Best towels, pillows & bed linens ever. Manager always available by text, helpful, friendly.
