  Comments: Bien et pratique

• Reviewer: Amanda

  Comments: The room was great, really big and very clean! The location was really good. Walking distance to the metro, downtown, Parc mont royal and lots of cafes, restaurants, bars etc. The bathroom and kitchen were not so good but do have everything you need. Would not recommend if you like to stay in and cook but you don't need to because there are loads of great restaurants only a short walk away. Otherwise would recommend because the location is great.

  Comments: Awesome! Good location

• Reviewer: Cheryl

  Comments: Very clean, comfortable and spacious. Pretty central location and would choose to stay there again. Check in was smooth and completely hassle free!

• Reviewer: Skye

  Comments: Space was accurate and close enough to walk everywhere.

• Reviewer: Woosik

  Comments: 다운타운과 거리는 조금 있습니다. 대학교 바로 옆에 있어서 주말 저녁에는 대학생들의 음주가무 때문에 조금 시끄러울 수도... 하지만 전체적으로 조용하고 깔끔한 동네입니다. 다운타운 쪽으로 조금만 걸어가면 괜찮은 브런치 가게들도 있어서 좋네요.

• Reviewer: Lee

  Comments: The apartment was nice and in a central location. Good if you're looking for a cheap place to stay for a night or two.

• Reviewer: Linh

• Reviewer: Gwen

  Comments: Está ubicado en una zona céntrica, accesible al transporte público, cerca de muchos lugares turísticos :) súper tranquilo, tienes tu propio espacio.

• Reviewer: Andreas

  Comments: Der Vermieter ist freundlich und die Wohnung liegt mit der Nähe zur McGill Universität gut, der Blick aus dem Fenster ist schön. Das Zimmer welches ich hatte ist großzügig, quadratisch, hell und das Bett bequem. Im Grunde passt die Beschreibung und das Foto. Das Hauptproblem ist die miserable Hygiene!!! Überall in der Wohnung, beginnend mit dem Eingang, ist es schmutzig, unaufgeräumt, zerrissene Kisten stehen herum, Lebensmittelreste in der Küche überall, im Bad keinerlei Sauberkeit, schmutzige Wäsche, benutzte Unterhosen am Boden, mein Zimmer war schmuddelig und ich wurde das Gefühl nicht los, das meine Bettwäsche und die Handtücher nicht frisch gewaschen waren ja sogar, das es möglicherweise Ungeziefer wie Wanzen oder Milben im Bett gab, was allerdings schwer beweisbar ist. Montréal ist wunderschön aber diese Unterkunft besuche ich nicht mehr!!!

  Comments: Une chambre qui correspond totalement à la description et un matelas correct. Par contre une salle de bain qui n’a pas été nettoyée depuis 6mois, un caleçon qui traîne par terre pendant 2 jours et un amoncellement de poubelles sur le balcon sont étonnants ! Les tarifs bas nous ont fait venir et nous ne le regrettons pas mais il ne faut pas s’attendre à trop...

• Reviewer: Mira

  Comments: Great place! It’s just as described - my room was big and comfortable, I could control my own heat which was great, and the location is excellent. The hosts were communicative even if I didn’t see them, sending emails checking to see how things were and to give me info on the house, and even a credit for a local electric car taxi company! You won’t have access to a common space and remember that you have to share the bathroom with a few people, but with those in mind this is a great stay and I recommend it!

• Reviewer: Diana Jimena

  Comments: Beautiful room in one of the most charming neighborhoods in Montreal! Many places near or reachable by waking, bus or metro. Shampoo, soap and towels included :) I would stay here again for sure!

• Reviewer: Aloisio

  Comments: Nice and welcoming host. The room is pretty large and cozy. However it’s necessary to take public transport to go to the main tourist points.

• Reviewer: Valeria

  Comments: El alojamiento y la atención es igual a la que se describe en el mail, la habitación en la que me quede era muy grande y cómoda, muy bien ubicada.

• Reviewer: Karim

• Reviewer: Dilara

  Comments: He was a good host. He welcomed us at the gate because we couldnt open the door. The room was quite big but a little cold. It would have been nicer if we could see the photos of other areas as well. Overall it was good though. Thanks again!

• Reviewer: Majka

  Comments: I had a great stay! The place is very easy to find and super close, walking distance, to everything in the city. My room felt very cozy. The natural light from the big window was great and the heating worked very well. Communication with Shakil was excellent and he promptly helped with all the concerns I had. Would recommend!! :)

• Reviewer: Qianya

• Reviewer: Kat

  Comments: The room was much bigger and the bed was comfier than expected. Hosts were very friendly and open to conversation. Lots of information was provided beforehand which was nice!

• Reviewer: Andrea

  Comments: McGill Ghetto is an excellent place to be in Montréal. Communication was very easy and the room has completely satisfied all my expectations. Also the neighborhood is pretty nice, not far from a park and /or other spots where I have eaten delicious food. I definitely recommend this place to other guests. Grazie tante! Andrea

• Reviewer: Alistair

  Comments: I really enjoyed my stay here. A nice big comfortable room in a really cool neighbourhood in Montreal - Love it! The host was great - very friendly and helpful. A great value and highly recommended!

• Reviewer: Ziyad

  Comments: Good place for single male university age student travelers. Very close to everything and the university.

• Reviewer: William

  Comments: Simple hostel style accommodation, nice guys in charge who gave great travel tips that were much appreciated. Some noise from other guests and hosts so it's not totally peaceful but as long as you're using it as a base to explore the city and not as a home for any period of time it will suit your needs perfectly.

• Reviewer: Gaye

  Comments: The room is clean, big and tidy. The house is in a great location, very quiet and walking distance to old town and Mount Royal. The host is very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this place to stay and enjoy the nice city, Montreal.

• Reviewer: Valentina

  Comments: We only stayed for one night, so we couldn't meet the hosts or experience the "vibe" of the place. The room is as depicted in the photos. Clean and spacious. However, it is worth keeping in mind that the other areas of the house, namely, bathroom and kitchen are shared with many other people. Thus, it is hard to keep them clean. They have a cat, which we were not aware of, but he is really nice and friendly. The location was very good, it provides free-parking right in front of the place, which made it easier for us.

• Reviewer: Jean-Pierre

  Comments: Logement reellement prevu pour jeunes occupants . tres bien situe au Centre . bonne ambiance

• Reviewer: Mahdieh

  Comments: Wonderful hosts at a great location! The place is situated between downtown and mcgill within walking distance of various beautiful quirky places in Montreal that the hosts will be more than happy to recommend! Would stay here again in the future. Hosts were kind and fun to hang out with (I even got to try their cooking)!

• Reviewer: Elin

  Comments: We loved the great location, the friendly hosts, the easy communication! We would definitely stay there again!

• Reviewer: Praveen

  Comments: Great location - close to campus, mount royal and cafés for working. Got great tips for exploring the area. Plus there's the coolest resident cat you'll ever meet - Frank.

• Reviewer: Narumi

  Comments: ^ ^

• Reviewer: Maggie

  Comments: My room was extremely spacious and clean. Thank you!

• Reviewer: Jacob

  Comments: This space was right amongst downtown Montreal and was amazing value for money! Nice big bright room with a comfy bed. Great for a trip where you need to get some work done too. Everyone was friendly and gave me tips on the area. Will pass back through.

• Reviewer: Jason

  Comments: Great location

• Reviewer: Christopher

  Comments: Great spot for downtown Montreal, good for one night. Other guests in the house. Not a bad thing but I didn’t know there were othere guests in the house until I was there. But was a great time.

• Reviewer: Delaney

  Comments: Great location and clean space! Amazing value

• Reviewer: Jean Charles

  Comments: Très correct, rapport qualité prix acceptable et très disponible.

• Reviewer: Urban

  Comments: Great location. Quick walk to Contemporary Art Museum, Convention Center, Eva B's, tons of restaurants and bars around the corner. Bargain for the price. Roommates are very friendly and social. Can get a little loud on the weekends but housemates are very courteous if asked to keep quiet.

• Reviewer: Tal

  Comments: Great place for the price. Location is prefect for downtown. The check-in process is simple and straight forward.

• Reviewer: Joel

  Comments: Not very responsive and not attuned to guest needs

• Reviewer: Shayla

  Comments: This room is exactly like the picture. The guys living in the house were friendly. Location is awesome, 15-20 minutes walk to restaurants, bars and nightclubs.

• Reviewer: Jonas

  Comments: The place was fine and is as advertised. You get what you pay for, at the low price the room is nice. The bathrooms were fine, shower handle fell off so it was difficult to work and it wasn’t working one morning. The cat is cute. Hosts were nice but loud late at night when I was trying to sleep, and the kitchen was full of dirty dishes all the time. Would not stay here again.

• Reviewer: Gautham

  Comments: Great value for money and a perfect crashpad after a long day's work. Lots of cafes and bars nearby and downtown is only a short walk away. The hosts were friendly and their cat Frank was a gem!

• Reviewer: Mary

  Comments: Great location and smooth checkin and checkout. Would recommend since the space was large for two people. All nights there had lots of talking outside so it was hard to sleep but otherwise everyone is super nice.

• Reviewer: 주영

  Comments: 저렴한 가격으로 괜찮은 방에서 하룻밤 자기 좋습니다. 호스트분들도 친절하고 몽로얄까지 걸어갈 수 있는 위치에 있어요. 다만 밤늦게까지 호스트분들이 떠들어서 조금 힘들었네요. 그점빼고 괜찮습니다. It is good place to spend one night for cheaper price. The room is beautiful and is not far from university, mont royal and downtown. Hosts are also sooo kind but they talked until the night when i was trying to sleep . Except this one, i recommend this house to you.

• Reviewer: Matthieu

  Comments: Airbnb très pratique pour un séjour à Montréal agréable.

• Reviewer: Rick

  Comments: They let me drop off my luggage early. They were very nice and helpful. Location was very convenient.

• Reviewer: L

  Comments: Accurate description of the room we rented. The rented room is fairly clean. The shared bathroom is dirty. Bathtub gets pretty slippery probably due to lack of a good cleaning. The shower nob is broken and fell each time when I took shower. location is good. parking is good. oh! one of 4 nights we stayed got pretty loud around mid-night and lasted couple of hours. My partner did get out of bed and walked to the kitchen just so they knew we were already in. Unfortunately, the noise level went down for a bit and then back up again.

• Reviewer: Jonathan

  Comments: Excellent communication and beautiful room in a nice area.

• Reviewer: Christine

  Comments: disappointed

• Reviewer: Sid

  Comments: These guys are very nice and friendly hosts and they have a very cute cat to welcome you. The location is the biggest plus as it is just 5-10 mins walk to Eaton centre and other places in downtown. Few things that were mentioned by previous guests and were not fixed by the host are: The kitchen sink had unwashed dishes from days as it looked not too good to stand in kitchen with a sink full of dirty dishes. The shower nozle even dislocates and comes in hand. I would give 10 stars for the location if I could. Beware of the street parking signs guys as I got a $62 parking ticket for parking at the exact same spot the host asked me to park (the free parking spot) in front of the house.

• Reviewer: Rogelio

  Comments: The room was clean and spacious, the washroom is so dirty, I love cats but I didn't like see in front of my room a container with popo.

• Reviewer: Marcos Eliot

  Comments: It has a very good location. The cleaning of hallways can be improved.

• Reviewer: Fulvia

  Comments: The host was very nice, friendly and helpful. It was an pretty good location. An ok stay but would have been better if common areas were better kept.

• Reviewer: Sami

  Comments: Sweet place to be in

• Reviewer: Mustafa

  Comments: I am trying to be honest here! I checked in late night and the access to place was good, the AC was broken and not working at all as written in the description, they have a cat, the kitchen and bathroom was horrible everywhere with ladies hair. There are too many people living in this place I couldn’t have a chance to take a shower at all till 11:00AM the check-out time so I left the place with not taking shower.

• Reviewer: Lily

  Comments: El lugar tiene buena ubicacion, las habitaciones son muy espaciosas y el ambiente es juvenil y agradable. Me parece un gran acierto la forma tan detallada en cómo te dan la informacion de todo lo que puedes llegar a necesitar antes y durante tu estancia, que uno no necesita pedir que lo reciban personalmente!!Ademas de que se ponen a disposicion de los huespedes diariamente a traves de este medio como muestra de hospitalidad. Lo recomiendo totalmente!!

• Reviewer: Véronique

  Comments: très belle grande chambre dans un appartement avec belle ambiance. Hôte super: bonne communication et compréhensif concernant les contraintes des voyageurs. On recommande et garde l'adresse pour une prochaine fois

• Reviewer: Tom

  Comments: Great place to stay with excellent access to the McGill campus. Thanks!

• Reviewer: Hector

  Comments: Great place to stay the night, was a very short stay in our case, as we showed up in the afternoon to leave early next morning. However, host is very pleasant and nice, and the place itself is great!

• Reviewer: Marta

  Comments: Clear indications, room as description.

• Reviewer: Fabian

  Comments: Place is in a great location and it feels like living in a student flatshare/ hostel with a chill vibe with all its pros & cons. The room was impeccable: neat, clean, nicely furnished

• Reviewer: Karoline

  Comments: Very nice and big room, very well situated

• Reviewer: Farzad

  Comments: If you want to stay for a night and only sleep there it is fine. Location is good giving you the access to downtown.

• Reviewer: Perrine

  Comments: Chambre individuelle dans maison ; partage des parties communes avec autres chambres locatives. Bonne situation géographique pour tourisme. Propreté correcte. Je recommande !

• Reviewer: Gabriel

  Comments: El alojamiento es tal como en el anuncio, es limpio y ordenado, los únicos detalles fueron que había un poco de ruido exterior pero se entiende porque la zona es como de estudiantes y el otro detalle fue que la llave de la regadera está floja y se zafa y casi me cae en el pie, solo tengan cuidado con eso.

• Reviewer: Anna

  Comments: McGill Ghetto NEVER disappoints. Best value in Montreal!

• Reviewer: Sarah

  Comments: The location was fantastic! Very close to McGill and a 10-15 minute walk to Downtown Montreal. Very convenient for a conference at McGill and near lots of restaurants.

• Reviewer: Jean-Pierre

• Reviewer: Andrea

  Comments: Good overall perfect location and very large room. Common spaces not perfectly cleaning.

• Reviewer: Viktoria

  Comments: Best location in Montreal! Loved the style of the room!

• Reviewer: Zoe

  Comments: The place is inexpensive and at a very good location for me. Very easy access to metro. Most places including downtown, mont royal, and old Montreal are within walking distance. However, the place wasn't as clean as I expected. For students, it is a good place to stay I guess.

• Reviewer: Amanda

  Comments: Very great stay! Had all the amenities we needed, the host was very nice, and there was even a cute cat named Frank :)

• Reviewer: Minjee

  Comments: 고양이가 너무 귀여웠어요. 숙소 히터도 괜찮고 생각보다 아늑한 느낌이에요. 화장실 공용이긴 한데 깨끗해서 괜찮았습니다.

  Comments: Súper padre todo

  Comments: Clean place

• Reviewer: Clint

  Comments: Nice, cheap place to stay close to downtown. Quiet and clean. There's a cat which you can smell. I don't mind but if you're allergic or sensitive to cat smell you might not enjoy. Thee fridge was a little gross as well. Host was nice. For a short stay not a bad spot ESP for the price.

• Reviewer: Emily

  Comments: i had to cancel last minute and they were very honorable and attentive , checking in on me and respecting the cancellation policy :) two thumbs up!

• Reviewer: Ronald

  Comments: Just perfect ! 10/10 enough said !

• Reviewer: Alix

  Comments: The location of this bnb was really great, it’s really close to downtown. However, we had a strange time checking in, with another guest in our assigned room. In that confusion, we ended up in a different room which hadn’t been cleaned. There was garbage and dirty glasses. The walls in the house are also extremely thin, we were woken up every morning by people talking loudly out front our door and even a loud barking dog on the first night (though there was no mention that animals would be there apart from the cat - who is very cute and friendly). The shower also wasn’t working, the handle had been broken off so we weren’t able to shower (but we didn’t have clean towels anyways). The front door also didn’t lock. Overall, it was a mixed bag. Location was good but we didn’t really enjoy our stay.

• Reviewer: Alex

  Comments: Très correct pour le prix ! Chambre très grande et confortable. Très flexible et arrangeant.

• Reviewer: Luis

  Comments: It an incredible place to stay, I enjoy my time there a great hospitality

• Reviewer: Angelique

  Comments: Really nice place with a spacious room and easy check in option when the host isn’t there. I went for a job interview which lasted all day so I only used the apartment to sleep for two nights. Although there was hair on the toilet and in the shower the place was clean-ish, the bed was very comfortable and room very well decorated. The only complaint I have is that both nights I fell asleep early, like around 10pm and on both nights I was woken up by loud voices (mainly female) around midnight and then realized there was also a dog running around. When it happened the second night I went out to ask the hosts to please be quiet and they immediately were quiet. If I didn’t have to get up early I wouldn’t really care, but both mornings I had to wake up super early so it was a bit of a shame to have a broken sleep. Otherwise I would recommend this place to stay if they improve what I’ve suggested.

• Reviewer: Laurence

  Comments: Bonne place, bien située!

• Reviewer: Ebene

  Comments: Appartement propre et très bien situé . Bon séjour

• Reviewer: Frida

  Comments: Nice and clean place close to town. Our main issue was that we did not get any keys for our room which felt quite unsafe since there are 4 other rooms in the apartment where unknown people lived. It was unpleasant to not be able to lock the door while sleeping or being out of the house. Also we asked for the keys both via text and by calling the emergency number. We got the information that there was no keys for the room we were staying in. After checking out thogh the host contacted me to ask where I put the keys. This is not a major problem but it is very unprofessional to not provide keys for the guests and later proceed to ask them for the non-exciting keys.
