Guest Reviews
- Rucha (1/5): - Worst experience yet, dont recommend
- Guillermo (7/5): -
- Viktoriia (9/5): De paso en Montreal - No se a que publicó está dirigido el alojamiento....mucha decoración....todo parece recién arreglado, electrodomésticos nuevos...muebles nuevos...al ser viajera-mochilera demasiada decoración.... Escalera de entrada muy empinada,cama para 2 personas creo que era de 1'20, bastante blanda...incómoda para 2 personas.parece que wifi solo era en la cocina -comedor y no siempre...solo un baño,por lo tanto incómodo...
- François (9/5): -
- Letort (10/5): Super séjour ! Je recommande ! - La multitude d’équipements de cuisine, la propreté, l’espace dans l’appartement La vétusté de certains équipements et la chaleur dans l’appartement
- Letort (10/5): -
- Mathias (10/5): Bien - Je bien aime Vous tardez de donne le code d’accès 17h00 c’est trop tard pour les gens qui viens à l’ extérieur de Montréal
- Mohiuddin (1/5): Read this review before you book - Absolutely Nothing The room temperature was fixed at 24°C, which was extremely hot and uncomfortable. The window was broken and wouldn’t stay open, there was no fan, and the thermostat was locked, leaving me with no way to adjust the temperature. I contacted the host about this but received no response.
Additionally, the property has four bedrooms sharing just one washroom, which is highly inconvenient. The lighting system is fully sensor-based and kept turning off every few minutes with no manual switches available, making basic activities like eating very frustrating. There were also cameras throughout the property, which felt invasive and made the stay very uncomfortable.
The bed itself was in very poor condition. The mattress was old and visibly worn out, with a noticeable sag in the middle that made it uncomfortable to sleep on. It felt sunken in and did not provide proper support at all.
Overall, the lack of basic amenities, poor maintenance, and unresponsive host made the stay unacceptable. I’m never coming back to this place
- David (1/5): Buyer beware - Obvious scam, caveat emptor Be careful, there is no one working at this "hotel" it is an obvious scam. Caveat emptor
- Krisha (10/5): -
- Dan-Charge (8/5): -
- Kristen (6/5): Great place for the price and had everything we needed. But parking is not actually available. - It was cheap, and quite good. It was a great place to stay. Comfy bed, great bathroom, large kitchen and living room, only 2 other rooms so it's not too many people in one space. It says that parking is one of their popular amenities, and then when I asked they said to use street parking, which was almost impossible. We had to park a 7-10 minute walk away. I was also told that we would just get charged an extra 20 dollars if we stayed after 10 but before 11. But they came and knocked on the door at 10:05 and said we needed to leave soon, lol.

- Abbey (5/5): - Hosts bf carried our bags up the steep stairs Far out location, doing renovations like redoing flooring and walls at midnight and early morning. Rooms were hot and couldn’t change temp. Hosts were a bit rude and didn’t talk or look at us. Made us feel like a burden almost
- Tom (5/5): - Endroit très joli et accueillant Discutez bruyamment devant une porte de chambre dans laquelle des personnes dorment avec d’autres personnes louant une chambre pour réclamer de l’argent est dommage. C’est assez compliqué de dormir, nous n’avions pas vraiment besoin de savoir qu’une personne a réservé pour 2 alors qu’ils sont 3 et qu’ils doivent donc 80dollars....
- Edward (8/5): -
- Yasmine (8/5): - La propreté Le climatiseur dans la chambre bruyant donc impossible de dormir avec
- Jerry (8/5): 性价比十足 - 在宠物用品店的二楼,员工非常亲切地帮忙搬运行李。附近有便利店和好吃的餐馆,交通方面门口就有直达地铁站的公交车。性价比十足,我简直不敢相信它们的价格是如此亲民。公共浴室和客厅也非常干净,家具非常智能,客厅和卫生间的灯光都是红外感应自启动的,非常便捷。 虽然说性价比十足的情况下,我理应不该再挑毛病,但我的单人房间有一股挥之不去的异味,有可能是霉味,也可能是其他味道,进房间后十分钟鼻子就习惯了,但每次回房间打开门时总需要鼓起勇气。
当然,但看在这价格面前,也只是可以忍受的小问题。
- Gabriella (7/5): -
- Juan Diego (9/5): -
- Robert (7/5): - Clean. Quiet residential area. Entrance slippery when wet. Steep stairs. Access keypads do work but not user friendly. High tech gimmicks don't work very well.
- Zoée (5/5): Peut dépanner, mais il existe des endroits plus sains - La propreté des lieux. Il y avait des produits dans la douche et une laveuse-sécheuse pratique au cas où. Le matelas et les oreillers étaient adéquats. De bons système de tri de déchets très clairs. Notre arrivée était possible à partir de 17h et nous avons reçu le courriel d'information à 17h48 avec le code de la porte et le numéro de la chambre. Il n'y avait presque pas d'information affichée dans l'appartement et le courriel disait de se débrouiller et d'avoir confiance en nous. Nous sommes arrivées pendant un des chicanes d'un couple qui semble y résider et un homme criait comme s'il était en crise de perte de contrôle, c'était effrayant, nous avons pensé virer de bord pour notre sécurité. Ce couple faisait des travaux dans l'appartement à temps perdu et la perceuse continuait dépassé 21h30. Des prises électriques dont celles du grille-pain et du gros four ne fonctionnaient pas le premier matin ni une de celle de la chambre 4 (donc bagels chauffés au micro-ondes). J'ai pogné un choc en branchant mon chargeur dans la rallonge près du lit. Les vieilles fenêtres et portes apportaient trop de froid dans les pièces (malgré les plastiques) et le chauffage était centralisé, nous n'avons pas trouvé comment le monter dans la chambre. Les rideaux n'étaient pas étanches. Nous avons eu besoin de notre chauffage d'appoint. Les portes de chambres sont vitrées et givrées, donc dès que quelqu'un passe les lumières du système "intelligent" s'allument avec des détecteurs de mouvement et on n'est plus dans la noirceur pour dormir. À 10h, un robot-aspirateur s'active et je n'aurais pas pu me concentrer sans bouchon. Bizarre d'ambiance.
- GERARDOT (1/5): -
- Nafis Imtiaz (5/5): Unplesant experience. - The bedroom that we got was huge, clean and organized. And comfortable bed. We entered the apartment after 8pm and once we took the stairs up found out that the owner was painting walls and shared space was full of dust. Strong paint smell was present inside the room. As we were very tired and slept around 11pm and woke up midnight with sound of putting heater back on the wall. When I came out to say that it's too late to do this work and make noise. I was told that I am being an A*S. Not a very plesant experience. Next morning I ended up having a conversation with the owner who said this and at that time he seems nice person.
- Amelie (1/5): Très mauvaise expérience - Le lit était confortable.
La cuisine est bien équipée.
Nous sommes venus une première fois et ça s'était assez bien passé (malgré le fait qu'ils s'étaient trompés en nous attribuant la mauvaise chambre). Nous sommes revenus une seconde fois et le code d'accès qui nous a été communiqué ne fonctionnait pas. On a tenté d'appeler à plusieurs reprises la personne en charge de l'appartement sans réponse. Au bout de plusieurs minutes d'attente dans le froid, la personne a répondu et a été extrêmement désagréable, me disant clairement de me débrouiller tout seul et d'aller me faire voir. On a dû rappeler plusieurs fois pour qu'enfin elle vienne ouvrir.
Quand nous sommes arrivés l'appartement était en travaux, le sol recouvert de plâtre, tout était sale. Les travaux bruyant ont continué jusqu'à tard dans la nuit.
L'aspirateur automatique s'est lancé à minuit.
Le lendemain matin on a trouvé le lave vaisselle entièrement démonté dans la cuisine avec des pièces étalées de partout.
Il y a également plusieurs caméras de sécurité partout dans l'appartement, ce qui est assez gênant.
Je ne recommande pas du tout cet endroit. À fuir.

- Natacha Shanilsky (7/5): -
- Dmitri (2/5): Aggressive worker lives in the apartment with you - Apart from the concierge harassing my fiancé in front of other guests, the amenities were good, and the room was comfortable. The concierge claimed to be unclogging a drain for an hour in the one washroom, dressed in nothing but a towel, soaking wet. After 11:00 pm, there are no other washrooms in the area, and my fiancé urgently needed to go. The concierge's response was to call my wife absinities in front of the other guests who had come out of their rooms in confusion. Not only was the toilet working fine (the host lives in the apartment, by the way, and he just let her in without any hassle), but they tried to claim to Booking.com that we were in the wrong, even though they had cameras which caught the whole thing. I'm unsure if they will give over the footage or claim it doesn't exist, nor do I know if they will attempt to contact the other guests, but the situation is still developing. I am incredibly disappointed at the unprofessionalism displayed by the staff both to my fiancé and in their evasiveness in the face of due diligence.
- Wally (1/5): - Nothing Rude host, and not professional answers. They verbally abused and screamed at a female guest for requesting access to the bathroom, using B word, in front of all guests. Lower than zero services and should not be in host business.
- Marcelo (1/5): Unpleasant - Nothing Nothing
- Raj (1/5): -
- Mahmudul (1/5): - The place was well designed. The smart fixtures were good. The host was obnoxious. I wonder why he is in the service industry to begin with. He simply doesn't like people. Everything in the place was automated, which was nice. But after our stay, we realized the host doesn't like people. He won't pick up calls or answer the door. So, if you run into any check-in issues or any other troubles during your stay, good luck, he will be unreachable. When we met the owner (which he possibly wanted to avoid by all means), he had this look of disdain.
The check-out time was 10 am. We mistakenly thought it was 11 am as that's the typical time here. Instead of politely reminding us, he simply sent us a bill of $45 extra for the hour at 10:45 am and said there will be another bill if we don't leave by 11 am. So we had to rush out. In the rush, we left a jacket behind. When we realized that right after check out, he wouldn't let us get the jacket unless we pay up. If we reenter he would charge us for another hour. All this was happening when we were outside in the cold. He wouldn't reply to any text or calls.
One more thing, the listing said free parking while booking. But it is actually street parking which has restrictions. I had to move the car at 7 am in the morning.
All in all, I believe you will be better off not booking this place.
- Kyle (9/5): -
- Harasewich (10/5): - Great accommodations, automatic lighting, door access code, kitchen and washroom facilities
- Rohit (8/5): -
- Yamina (9/5): Confortable et paisible - J’ai vraiment aimé la propreté de l’appartement, aussi, tout à était réfléchi et mis en point pour le confort du client.
- Armenio (1/5): - He starts off our texts communications with insulting me, while telling me I'm insulting his intelligence - why? For simply asking to get my luggage at the property and held in a safe manner. Host has ridiculous in out time, check in at 5pm out at 10am. The rudest person and when you need anything he yells at you from behind his door, and refuses to help. This wasn't just me, I saw him do this to two others, he literally threatened them with an object. It was the most insane 1 night stay. Please review the feedback and run. He acted in a crazy manner, and i do wonder if he is stable, those two days priced he is not.
- Manan (1/5): -
- De cougny mireille (10/5): Un retour aux sources ayant fait mes études au Québec. Un logement proche de mes centres d’intérêts. - Le côté spacieux, moderne et très propre tout en étant avec d’autres personnes.
Le respect des gens car il y avait du rangement pour tout .
Aucun bruit la nuit.
- Alex (1/5): rude host - Arrived late in the evening (around 10:30 pm) and there was drilling and construction work going on in the room next to my mine. I wrote a polite message asking if it would be possible to leave it for another day. Got an insulting message back being called a "motherf*cker". This is no way to communicate with someone, let alone a guest. The noise also wasn't a one time thing, continued throughout the stay in "quiet" hours.
- Torrijos (1/5): Disappointed - N/a The property itself was quite nice. However when you ask the owner any simple question he will respond with hostility.
The place also has glass panel doors on the bedroom, which would be fine if the area outside all the bed rooms didn’t have a sensor light.
- Faris (10/5): -
- Tatiana (8/5): - Great location and facilities. Fully equipped kitchen. Very clean. Great wi-fi. Nice interior design. All the lights are triggered by motion sensors. Entering and exiting using the code is also very convenient. There's only one washroom for four rooms, and it can be up to two people in each. I often had to wait because the washroom was occupied by another guest. Not fatal but inconvenient.
Also it's on the second floor and there are stairs, very steep and without a landing: you go up the stairs and your face literally comes up against the door. There isn't even a step outside the door that would be level with the apartment floor. It's very inconvenient and can even be dangerous when you enter or exit the apartment with your luggage and your hands are full.
- Jake (10/5): -
- Richard (5/5): - Construction le soir dans le logement dans la chambre d à côté très bruyant sans avertissement et c était normal pour le locateur pas d excuse rein !!!!!!!
- Anup (6/5): Overall it was a good experience but didn’t like the check-in/our timing . Needs improvement. - The check-in timing was horrible. Who keeps 5pm check-in and 10 am check-out. Overall apart from that it was a good stay. the property has potential, but it could use some improvements in cleanliness and amenities. With a little more attention to the kitchen and washroom, it could become a comfortable place to stay.
We didn’t like the check in timings . The location wise it was little bit outskirts the city. 1 hr away from the downtown. Apart from this it was pretty much good.
- Florence (9/5): - Grande cuisine bien équipée ,jeux de société,

- Jenn (8/5): - Facilities were really high tech. The place was clean too. Laundry services were available which was really helpful. It was quite bard to get to, but that might be because it was late at night and there was a public transport strike taking place in montreal

- Thomas (7/5): A nice, updated, and affordable place to stay in Montreal (with some quirks) - The property was nice and updated, it was always so clean, each room had its own AC and the beds were comfortable! Our room had a desk and couch as well which was nice.
Altogether it was a fine location, we transited while there and we did usually have to take a bus to get to the metro station which would sometimes make the trip longer, but the bus stations were right by the place and were easy access. There were also different restaurants in the area that were in walking distance which was nice.
Even though there were some odd parts about our stay (as seen in the what you didn’t like section) I would still recommend this place. A lot of things are controlled electronically which was fun, but there were just a few strange moments where the blinds would open on their own or the lights would turn on or off on their own in our room which felt a bit strange…
There was also only 1 bathroom for all of the rooms which was usually fine but sometimes you’d have to wait a while for it so it’s just something to keep in mind if you’re someone who can’t usually hold it for a while. The TV in the room was nice, but it didn’t have access to any streaming services, so if you plan to use it you may need to bring an HDMI cord and a laptop!
The owner was also doing some renovations in the room next to ours which was fine, except that he was doing them sometimes until after 10pm which felt a little too late to be drilling things into the wall.

- Deborah (9/5): Superb - Located a little way from the centre but easy to get to by public transport. Very lovely apartment with great facilities and friendly residents
Such a beautiful and friendly cat! Took me a while to figure out opening the front door (didn't realise you had to press bottom right button before entering) and the bedroom light! Otherwise, perfect
- Celia (8/5): Very good - Great that you can check in at any time as we got into the city late. Good instructions, friendly host, nice cat. Only thing was it could have done with some instructions for what the super high tech light switch / blind operator buttons did, that was kinda confusing!
- Didier (10/5): Exceptional -
- Krishnan (9/5): Wonderful stay in Montreal - True to it's name, a very modern apartment for a stay indeed. Have all the amenities one needs, in all good condition. The sweetest cat "catnip" was very friendly to us. Plenty of board games to keep us entertained. Good location, nearby area has everything. Nothing really, some may not be okay with the shared bathroom. But we had a comfortable experience despite that.
