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.

The door codes were difficult to figure out. The stairs were treacherous. There were a lot of people hanging around outside the entrance (right above a café) There were only 3 hangers in the room and no hooks on the wall or door. Only one power outlet. The room was tiny. Freshly painted. Decent bed. There was a split system air conditioner in the room. All that said, if I were coming again, I would stay here. Great value for money in a good neighbhood. Popolo, it's a great start, but you just need to make some cheap tweaks (hooks, towel rack, power bar, for instance)

Cool vibe and location, and the staff is helpful and nice, but the doors to the rooms are not secure. We had other guests able to enter our locked room in the middle of the night (presumably by mistake) because there's obviously one key code shared between all rooms. Very strange. Why bother to have locks on the individual rooms?
