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.

Todd, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.

Tammy was so nice. Such a cool place, great location. Stayed 5 nights with 2 kids aged 3 and 5.
Nicholas, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location on the plteau, right above the Casa del Popolo restaurant. Small cosy clean affordable room for solo traveller.
Nicolas, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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)
Sumeet, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Angela, 3-night trip

nice place
Alexander, 1-night trip

Nice little place, very clean, on a busy street but sound was not an issue. Getting in and using the locks took a little learning.

Would definitely stay again. P.s. toilets flush slow. If you gotta go do a test flush to make sure it can handle your output
