Hotel Quartier Latin

Had to book a last minute hotel because my original hotel cancelled my reservation without notice. Even though the hotel is kinda dark, the staff was very friendly and the service was great. Free breakfast and wifi, plus plus plus. And the price, well you can’t beat it with a stick. Very close to everything to do downtown and overall just a great location. It was worth every penny I spent.

It is located only steps away from Berri Uqam metro station, right next to a strip club.
Despite its location that near many bars and restaurant, the room was quiet.
We only stayed from 10 PM to 8 AM.
But during those hours, we observed few things.
1. The room was standard size. Uninspiring décor with dark red maroon carpet, perfect to hide any stains.
2. The wifi, although free (ask for password), going on and off like a bad relationship.
3. It was winter, but the room was hot, not from our bed activities but because they blasted the heater and we couldn’t open the window. It was stuck, maybe to prevent people jumping.
4. The toilet paper was so thin that one will waste more TP in order to have a clean ass.
Breakfast starts from 8 AM, too bad we didn’t try it because we have to rush to the train station. Check out was very quick.
All in all, it is one of the cheapest hotel in downtown Montréal, so we didn’t expect much.

As a wandering tourist my expectations were good location and cheap price. Perhaps the «hotel» title is confusing but it’s more comfortable than a hostel.
My room was clean but humidity was a problem, the single rooms are in the basement.
The staff are friendly. However the internet connection is very slow from all floors and you should not expect the continental breakfast to keep you full.

I’m not sure you can beat this combo of a great location for a cheap price /​if/​you want a hotel room. Other than the giant flat-​screen TV in the bedroom, if you’ve ever traveled on the cheap in Europe then you should already know what to expect. The small room has everything needed to get by, is clean, and has great access to bars, restaurants, public transit, etc… while remaining surprisingly quiet. Unfortunately, the hotel carpet is a little groaty, there seemed to be no AC in the actual room, and the walls were rather thin.

We stayed here to attend a festival held at Usine-​C. I was looking for something half way between the venue and Chinatown. Also, centrally located near the key shopping areas, such as St. Catherine and Plateau. I fell in love with St. Denis as soon as we stepped foot out of the cab in front of the hotel. It reminds me of St. Marks, the way it used to be in the 90’s, in NYC. If you have ever stayed at a hotel in St. Marks NYC, then you know what to expect from this place, and at least you have your own private bathroom here. In NY this location would be at least $ 150 per night. There are so many ethnic restaurants to choose from and great shopping in the area as well, all within walking distance. We did see a few other hotels on the same street, but none of them looked as nice as Latin Quarter.
The hotel room was about $ 60 CAD per night for two people to share, and the price was very low for such a large city. The WIFI here is free, but you will have to get the password from the front desk. I was very happy that the password did not expire nightly, like they do at most hotels. Do not expect much service from the front desk clerks, or a DND pass for your door– there was not one to be found. So there is no way of avoiding the cleaning lady.
I do not recommend staying here during the hot months, because our room was getting very stuffy and very hot during the day, but at least it was cool enough at night for us to open the windows and get some cool air to sleep peacefully. The noise was minimal. There is a small TV with about 60 channels, but the remote control was very dirty with all kinds of stuff crammed in between the numbers. However, the room and bathroom were very clean and the sheets were not torn or stained. I am the roach and bug police and did not see either of the two while staying here. The soap that they give you is half of a tiny bar of soap that does not lather well, and the nearest Couche Tard does not carry soap, only toothpaste. So, I highly recommend bringing all of your own soap and hair care products. The toilet worked and the hot water and water pressure was fine.
We did the free continental breakfast the first morning and did not come back. It was bad– your choice of dry muffin or dry croissant, with a coffee/​hot tea, and orange juice. Served to you in a basement room the size of a closet, so I noticed many people taking the stuff up to their rooms to eat. There are so many places to get crepes and breakfast on our street that we would just go out to eat instead. That is, if you wake up in time to eat breakfast.
So, if you are looking for a cheap hotel in a central location with no frills– I recommend it. It is a cheap hotel, enough said.

Yes it’s cheap but absolutely the dirtiest place I’ve ever stayed in my whole entire life.
Never again.
