Tammy, the hotel manager was a great face to the Pensione Popolo. She upgraded our room, gave us a quick tour, and answered a few questions. The location of the hotel and price are our favorite features.

Good for a quick stay and for the price. It’s loud at night as others have said but i was able to sleep fine with ear plugs. It’s a cool quirky place for a quick stay. No eating allowed in the room. Mirror in the room would be great.

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.

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!

Amazing stay. The manager, Tammy, was super nice. The building itself has an amazing vibe to it, I felt like I was in a bohemian NY apartment (and being hyperbolic here, but it's connection to Casa made me feel like it was Patti Smith staying at the Chelsea, such a cool venue)

Such a cute, fun place to stay while exploring Montreal. The air conditioning was top notch on some very hot days, and although we heard the music downstairs, it was always stopped by 11 and we didn't think it was that loud. The owner was super friendly and lovely.
