Saint Helen's Island Vacations from $652

Street noise was loud all times of the night due to older windows. Lots of noise from the floor above. Toilet was wobbly. Vending machine didn’t work and staff would not reimburse. Heavy perfume smell in lobby, not ideal for those with a sensitivity to scents. Dried blood stain in bedding (washed but none the less), only saw it on my last night and was grossed out. Staff was nice enough but the experience overall was less than expected. Owners prioritized aesthetic over practicality and safety - rooms have steps as you walked in that go down, at night this is difficult as you navigate from the bathroom to the bed, some form of lighting or glowing markers would be helpful. The shower is directly visible from the bedroom due to a glass pane, partial privacy is only possible due to curtains that are not double paneled or blacked out. Though the location is ideal to the Bell Center, public transportation, and a good nightlife, I'm not sure I would stay again. The highlight was the smoothie bar next door, called Tropé.

This is an apartment in a standard old 3 story Montreal building. Very representative of typical downtown Montreal living. But beware - these places have little or no soundproofing. You will hear every footstep of the people above you, and the voices next door. This was OK for much of our stay but we were unlucky the first night, when people upstairs, including children, were walking and running almost continually until 1am, preventing sleep. But the other nights were not so bad. There is a lot of space, a good kitchen, and a bus stop to central Montreal right outside. And it is in an area with many nice cafes, restaurants, and tiny unique shops.

Perfect for our location. Clean and modern

Room was super cute, very clean and comfortable. Very easy check in. Close to everything. We will go back!
