The room was sweet and very clean, the private bath room was small and very clean, tiny sink but perfectly fine, nice bathtub with shower. No extras but we weren’t looking for any. The first night was lovely and quiet. The second night (a Wednesday) there was a band somewhere below that was thunderously loud. Relentless. One chord over and over, every now and then they’d remember there was another chord in the universe they knew how to play but by then it didn’t help…. My daughter dealt with it well; she had headphones of her own and a show to watch on her computer. I had only the earplugs the hotel had provided, which were no match for the sound. But, the good thing is that the band stopped playing! Hurray! Around midnight I think. So. We loved the neighborhood and were happy to be there. We recommend this simple and pretty pensione, but bring your own headphones, just in case.

Tammy was very accommodating. She moved a bureau out of the room so we could have a place for our bikes. Parking is tricky but we found a free spot a short walk away. There are two steep flights of stairs to the room. The sitting area and tea were most welcome. It was a very comfortable place to stay.

The staff was amazing and super useful, the only drawback was the cleanliness of the room, the electric baseboard had spots of dirt like dried liquid and dust, there was unknown hairs and eyelashes on the sheets. Maybe their dryer need some cleaning? We like the emplacement and character of the place, it's just a shame the room was dirty.

It is a very cute set up and cost effective however we arrived late and the heat was off and we couldn't get it to work. If you ever wondered what it was like to sleep on the street of Montreal stay in Room #3. A little care in making sure the rooms are at a good tempature would have made this a great experience.

The hotel really is like all the “pensions” I have stayed in travelling in Europe but cooler. It was not fancy but we knew that when booking it. The room was clean as were the shared bathroom facilities and although it was fully booked when we were there we didn’t have to wait to shower. Tammy is so lovely and welcoming - she gave us lots of recommendations about places on the neighborhood to eat and stores and streets to check out. We didn’t end up eating downstairs as we were out and about all day and evening but it looked great. Such a nice vibe, lots of art on the walls and a little common area. The location is amazing, we walked everywhere although there was public transit too. Will definitely stay there on our next trip to Montreal.

Great location in a cool neighbourhood for a great price! Our host, Tammy, was super friendly and responsive. The room, plus shared bathrooms and common areas are clean and have that old Montreal vibe. Remember that you are staying at a well known music venue so the streets are lively and there is some noise bleed. That said, the rooms are soundproofed and we had no problems sleeping - bring earplugs if you are worried! Thanks for a great stay!

In the heart of Montreal's artist community this is a very friendly, welcoming spot to immerse yourself into the city's music and cultural scene. Don't go looking for a sauna or lounging in your room watching t.v all day, there is none of that. Clean, comfy, modest accommodations in a great location with good food and drinks downstairs and nearby. Live music downstairs certain evenings.

I stayed at Pensione Popolo for multiple weeks on a work trip and Tammy the manager was super accommodating, available for questions and making sure the stay is going smoothly and comfortably. Amazing location right in the iconic Mile End, close to metros, bus lines and walking distance to different neighbourhoods, parks and food. Crisp A/C, fast wifi and multiple shared showers/bathrooms. Even with the communal aspect there is a lot of privacy and all of the other guests I met seemed happy and polite!

The negative reviews are confusing to me as if you read the booking it clearly states what amenities are present in the space. Yes you are on one of the main arteries of Montreal - sounds of city come with it! There is a shared fridge and kettle. Even with my long term stay I made it work just fine. Truly an affordable, well located place to stay after exploring Montreal all day! I would definitely book in here again.

Cozy and charming

Overall we had a good experience. We loved all the quirky artwork everywhere. :) The beds were comfy, we liked the ease of having door codes and no keys to keep track of, and the shared sitting room (once someone pointed it out to us) was super cute and a nice place to write and eat meals in.

It was weird, though, not having someone to check in/out with or ask questions face to face with. For example, we didn’t know there were two more bathrooms down the hall that were better furnished until one of our fellow visitors pointed it them out, we never did figure out where the courtyard or patio were, so we couldn’t use them, and we didn’t know that some people just left their food out in the shared tea area until we almost ate someone else’s breakfast rolls (thinking they were part of the hotel treats along with the tea service). Those are the kinds of things I’d ask a person at the desk about without a thought, but wouldn’t ask an email correspondent who isn’t likely to get back to me right away. It would be helpful if there were a little map or guide to the tiny hotel with that info in it in the room when you come in.

I always stay at Pensione Popolo when I visit Montreal to see Alanna Sterling in concert.
The hotel is eclectic and fun and is a great place to stay when Alanna Sterling performs at clubs in the area.
Lots of great restaurants and bars within walking distance. The hotel even gives you a discount at the restaurant downstairs which is conveniently open late. No need to order delivery when you can just go downstairs.
The next time Alanna Sterling performs in Montreal, I will definitely stay at Pensione Popolo again.

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.

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?

Great bargain in a great location. Eclectic hotel. Restaurants galore and nightlife right outside the door. I stayed to see Alanna Sterling in concert at Urbanista, a bar three blocks away. Whenever they return to this area of Montreal for another show, I will definitely stay at Pensione Popolo.

A quiet stay in a barebones room. There were no tissues, the lights and clock were unplugged, the carpet was quite stained, and the bed's fitted sheet was so small it popped off nightly. Someone came through and cleaned the trash in the common area which was nice considering it was the only place to eat.

The stairs were a pain but the room was clean and smelled great. The ac was a perfect touch and the owner is nice! Around a 15 min walk from the metro station though!

Used BandAid in my sheets. Flat flat flat pillows. Dirty face-cloth. Slow sink. Stuck shower door. Two tight flights of stairs to reach room. I thought the place was quite clean (simply in need of renovating) until i fpund someone's old bandaid in my sheeys ... Yuck!! And smell of boiled cabbage all night. I left as soon as i could in the morning.

Pictures are somewhat deceiving. Very expensive considering it's just a unit above a bar
