Hotel Details

Location

Units are in the top-rated area of Old Montreal, a 5-minute walk from the Old Port and 300 m from Notre Dame Basilica.

This property is situated in the historic heart of Montreal. The Old Port is a 5-minute walk away, Notre Dame Basilica is 300 m from the property, and Place des Arts is 1 km away. A 20-minute walk reaches the Bell Centre. The area is walkable, safe, and has numerous restaurants within a short stroll - notable options include Venice Mtl, Stash Cafe, and Garde Manger all within 0.5 km. The nearest airport is Montreal/Saint-Hubert Airport, 16 km away. A metro station is nearby for city-wide travel. The location is ideal for sightseeing but street noise from the nearby bar and traffic can be heard in some units, especially on weekends.

Accommodation

Spacious apartments and studios with fully equipped kitchens and large living areas; some units benefit from exceptional natural light and high ceilings.

Units range from studios to 2-bedroom apartments, each with a private bathroom, a living room, and a fully equipped kitchen with stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, kitchenware, and tea/coffee maker. All feature air conditioning, soundproof walls (variable effectiveness), a seating area, and a flat-screen TV with streaming services. Bed sizes and layouts vary: many units have 2 or 3 beds, including king-size options. The sofa bed is small - suitable for a child rather than two adults. Room quality varies significantly between units; some are described as spacious, clean, and well-furnished with modern interiors, while others are reported as having worn furniture, uncomfortable mattresses, malfunctioning appliances, and cleanliness issues. Not all units match the photos shown. The 4th-floor walk-up apartments (no lift) require carrying luggage up steep stairs. City views are common.

Wellness and Leisure

The property does not have on-site wellness or leisure facilities, but the Old Port area offers outdoor activities.

There are no on-site leisure amenities such as a pool, spa, or gym. The Old Port of Montreal, a 5-minute walk away, offers an ice-skating rink and boating opportunities, as well as other seasonal activities and scenic walking paths.
