It is a great location at a reasonable price but it is an old building. No air conditioning but a BIG fan was provided which helped but was noisy. I would stay again but this is not like a hotel. That’s why the price is low.

The mattress was very, very old and hollowed out so it feels like you are lying on a hard frame It smelled like body odour. It was very uncomfortable and I hardly slept. The place was noisy with banging noises in the corridors. It is basic and I knew that but the bed shouldn't smell.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff very friendly and welcoming. Easy check-ins and check outs. Always secured by security at the entrance. Great location, 3-min walk from Metro Guy-Concordia makes for easy travel around the city. Plenty of food options. The facility itself leaves a lot to be desired. The upper floors are extremely hot and humid, requiring a fan to be blasting and the windows open 24/7. With the windows open at night, it gets very noisy and difficult to sleep. The showers are terrible. They take about 10 minutes to cool down from being boiling hot and the water pressure isn't great. Locking the room door was difficult, there is a trick to it which I wasn't aware of until my 2nd day. There are cameras everywhere though.

Le prix, l'emplacement, nous ont convenu parfaitement. Nous n'avions pas besoin du confort d'un bon hôtel standard.

Overall a great experience, staff let us check in early which allowed us to take a nap and rejuvenate a bit. No real complaints. Just note that it's a bit warm because there is no AC. Pillows a bit uncomfortable and the floors are very creaky so you can hear people walking around. These things were priced in as it was $135 a night, somewhat cheap for Montreal and the location was great (everything we wanted to do was walking distance).

Taking into the consideration that this was a mix between hostel and a hotel and the price for the location is beyond amazing. Great for those who are on thr budget! The only thing is showers.... one of the showers had burning hot water no matter what.... but that's okay since there are still 2 more.... oh and a bit awkward to use the same bathroom with shared toilet and showers with men and women. Being a woman it toom me a few days to get used to being in the same room for such private purpose while men were in it at the same time 😫

I thought it was a reasonable choice until I went to use the co-ed bathroom and discovered a male using the toilet who hadn’t shut the privacy door. I felt uncomfortable and uneasy. We were supposed to come back to Montreal after a side trip to QC but promptly cancelled the return stay at Concordia.

The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly. I did not care for the coed bathrooms and would have preferred a private bathroom instead. Thank goodness the rooms were for single occupancy with a private sink, if not I would have probably stayed at another hotel.
