Hotel La Residence du Voyageur

Positiv: Koi fish. Lol.

Negativ: We were under the impression that we were getting a double room. Not just 1 double bed. We had to upgrade at a cost. The website is confusing. The room is pretty gross. We left as soon as we woke up. For ---$ I should I have gotten something nicer. Oh wel

Positiv: The staff was friendly and the room was adequate. The rates are affordable for a student, and the location is only about a 15 minute walk to UQAM, where I was attending a conference.

Negativ: Hot water was hit or miss in the shower. It was always warm, but somedays it got hot and some days it was just warm. Parking is free at different times on different streets on differnt days. I used the garage on Rue St. Hubert - $12 for 24 hours.

Positiv: Location and price

Negativ: Old,Water takes time to become warm,pressure of the water for taking shower was too low. No parking but they mentioned they have.There are some parking in the street which are not for the hotel and by chance(they should not mention they have parking).

Positiv: Room was small but staff very nice. Parking can be a challenge but staff will do their best to help find you a spot.

Negativ: Air conditioning was not very good.

No place to plug in your computer or phone charger near the desk. Had to unplug TV or air conditioner to use computer. Outfitted with old towels and wash clothes, all different in size, color and print, and so worn you needed two towels just to get your body half-way dry. Softest, most worn mattresses we¿ve ever used/seen. Entire bathroom was less the 4 x 8 feet. Bathtub is only 30 by 42 inches. Toilet oriented so that your knees are under the side of the pedestal-style wash basin when you sit on it. When I used the toilet, my right shoulder was against the wall, and my chin was over the sink edge such that I was staring directly at the sink drain. Couldn¿t use my right hand to wipe my bottom without turning sideways. Wi-Fi signal so weak we had to go down to the first floor to get a strong enough signal. Room had a large bay window that faced east and was fitted with a curtain incapable of stopping any light penetration. We were woke up by the rising sun, and spent the night watching the traffic lights change color and vehicle headlights reflect off room walls. ¿Hotel¿ does not have parking. You must find street parking. You are given one key for your room and one key for the front door (and are not allowed more). Front door was only unlocked for about 8 hours/day (10-6). One morning I left the keys with my wife and headed to the subway. I turned back when I realized I left my subway pass in the room, but without keys, was unable to get back into the hotel. I climbed the fire escape to the third floor, beat on our window and got my wife to let me in. ¿Hotel¿ does not really serve breakfast. For $2, you can get a piece of toast with jam, or a croissant¿ plus water or INSTANT coffee. This is served in a utility/storage room where they have set two small tables and chairs in among bicycles and a bunch of items covered with sheets.

Positiv: The staff was friendly and helpful. They just are working at and/or managing a very poor establishment.

Negativ: This appears to be a residence for college students that¿s operated as a hotel when students are on break. Room was small. Carpet very worn and well stained. Furnishings marred. Walls repainted numerous times (and not very well). Mold in bathroom.
