Very good

Great location, historic building, functional rooms. I cannot however express enough gratitude to the staff who discovered that I had accidentally booked our stay one night shorter than needed. After trying to reach me for hours while we were out, they ultimately graciously scooped up our belongings and relocated them to another room which they added at my apologetic request to please be able to stay another night. And while this was probably ripe opportunity to add surcharges or a higher room rate for the trouble, they did not. Many thanks! A great time in the city.
The room was very clean, modern bathroom, bed was very comfortable. Clean bedding. All the amenities I needed like shampoo, conditioner and body wash, even two chocolates on my bed. Loved the Victorian building and having the little cafe was a bonus. The location was amazing. Two blocks off of Saint Catherine's Street and only a few more blocks to the Bell Centre. Stairs were hard for me but otherwise, the staff was lovely and held my luggage until I was ready to depart. I would stay there again.
Staff were very helpful. Room was clean and comfortable.

Nice towels, a lot of stairs, where walls meet floors in room and bathroom could be cleaner

Staff amazing - so helpful and welcoming. Lovely area to be based for a night with easy access to shops, museums, etc. Basic facilities. Very worn look although room was immaculate and bathroom lovely.
A very good place to stay, even the building is very old.

The room was clean, but old. It felt like an old hostel. Charming though, no real issues.

Pillows are Too flat & room was under illuminated. Room was spacious & clean. Because there is no elevator I requested & received a room on first level. Cafe staff were nice & courteous.
It’s two old homes that have been combined and converted to bedrooms. It’s a little funky, but in a good way. Very conveniently located on a quiet street with good access to McGill U, Mont Royal Park, and shops/restaurants. The receptionists/baristas are very friendly.

This is a tired, old hotel in a great district. Close to Mount Royal stairs and good shopping and restaurants. They serve delicious hot pastries and coffee for breaky. The staff were very helpful. We would recommend this hotel.
