Pour la propreté, chambre et salle de bain parfaites! Un nettoyage de la fenêtre de la salle de bain serait cependant de mise afin de l'ouvrir lors d'une douche... J'ai eu de la difficulté à trouver le stationnement, la rue de la Tour mal indiquée. Un moyen de rejoindre le niveau de la rue en évitant les escaliers et rues serait très apprécié! Les allées pour se rendre au stationnement manque un peu de lumière le soir.. Un peu surprise du manque de drap contour sur le lit, et le matelas laisse un peu à désirer. Sinon je me suis bien amusé, merci!

The staff was helpful. Subway access and many food options within walking distance. This is a student dormitory; keep your expectations accordingly. Make sense if the price is reasonable compared to alternatives, but include $20/day parking into the comparison. I was late booking my room for the week there were tons of activities in the city, and I did not want to stay away from my point of interest. However, I will not probably consider it again in the future.

You get what you pay for, but there wasn't a mattress cover and there is only toilet per floor which requires a key to access. Also no A/C and not accessible because it was very hilly and the terrain is quite rocky.

Back in Residence Again
Honest, clean and cheap. It was like being on residence again. Be prepared for some walking with stairs and two Metro stations five minutes away. You can short cut through building B up to floor 6 and across to the C buildings to skip the 100 stairs. For checking in, to save confusion, the C building is up the hill ( and stairs. ) Cote de Neiges Metro stop ( fifteen minute walk ) is a great place to shop with the original Renauld-Bray bookstore open until 10pm!

This place is very inexpensive for a reason; sketchy elevators, broken floor, burnt out lights, they show pictures of the main building on the website(you don’t stay in it but you do have some access) it does the job if you’re just looking for somewhere to sleep but I would probably go elsewhere in the future. Did I mention there are only 2 showers in the washrooms, one of which has no door…

It all depends on what you need. If you are looking for a bed, few towels and basic necessities, this place is perfect! It is not fancy but if you are on a budget and you need to spend few days in Montreal, it is ideal. Great campus, safe and peaceful. If you do not speak French, you can ask anyone for help and they will do an effort to assist you. A bit of walk/stairs is needed. Bus, subway and Bixi bikes near by. Plenty of restaurant, cafes, groceries store near by (15 mins ish walk), lovely neighborhood. It was perfect for my needs.

My recent stay at Zum Auberge was incredibly disappointing. The price I paid for the room was highly overrated, especially considering how small it was compared to the photos. Additionally, if you're planning to cook, be prepared for a major inconvenience as there is only one kitchen available for all guests. Overall, my experience at Zum Auberge was far from satisfactory.

this property is not a hotel, its a college dorm with regimented, minimalist accommodations and shared bathrooms. Another guest called a nightmare and left early. I largely agree, and almost left early too, but I stayed for our entire 4 day weekend stay. I'm happy I did. The parking lot is a half a mile away. The area is a long distance walker's paradise. I had to drive everywhere. There are not stores, restaurants or cafes in the area. I love Montreal and you can't beat the $40 a night.

Affordable, comfortable, but dirty
The check-in process was automated and somewhat difficult to follow. I was thankful to have my friend (a UnideM student) there to guide me or else I would have been extremely lost. The room was adequate in size and featured a fridge, a sink, and a desk dedicated for working. The room did not have Wi-Fi nor an attached bathroom. There was a shared male and a shared female bathroom on each floor. The room was quite dirty. The floor looked as if it had not been mopped for several years and there was dust everywhere (see photo after dragging finger on work desk/cleaning it with a white cloth). The location of the hotel was perfect as I was visiting my friend who was attending UnideM. There are two metro stops within a 5-10min walk that you can use to take to Côte-des-Nieges (restaurants/shopping) or to anywhere else in the city. I probably would not stay here again unless I wanted to be close to UnideM.

You get what you pay for. So, I guess there aren't many expectations. It boggles my mind that one bathroom has to be shared by a whole floor. Really could have more consistent cleaning
