All Reviews
I'm a fan of this hotel and am in complete agreement with the previous reviewer. The location is awesome and you couldn't ask for better. I studied in Montreal for 5 years so when I go back I'm interested in going to the best bars and restaurants in the city...these places are minutes away from the hotel.
In addition, the daily croissants are super tasty and much appreciated. The room is cozy and kept clean, water and juice are provided daily for free (it's the little things that count!).
All and all, you can only be impressed that you're getting this for dirt cheap.
I've stayed at Anne Ma Soeur Anne twice now and I always think of it as quite the bargain. The first time I visited Montréal, I stayed at one of Delta's properties, your usual corporate/salaryman hotel. Needless to say, it was underwhelming.
On the other hand, Anne Ma Soeur Anne has done all the things right. For example, at the Big Corporate Hotel™, there was no free Wifi access and even worse, not even a fridge. Little Hotel That Could™ had both. Anne Ma Soeur Anne is nothing fancy but all I'm looking for in a hotel is a clean place to hang out and watch some television (or surf the internet) while I relax from a long day of sightseeing. While it's not fancy, that doesn't mean that it doesn't have its charms. The daily croissants left at the door are cute and if you have a room that's facing away from St-Denis, you really have no idea that on the other side of the hotel is one of Montréal's busiest streets.
My favourite thing about this place is its incredible location. It's within walking distance to many of the areas of Montréal I usually hang out in (Plateau, Mile End, etc) and it's close to a ton of great restaurants and shopping along both St-Denis and The Main. Not to mention that La Banquise is a very short walk away for that drunken three in the morning Poutine snack.
Highly, highly recommended and a great value for a hotel. Just don't expect a flat screen HDTV, room service and an in hotel spa treatment centre and you'll be fine.
Funny name. Too bad this place didn't have a little more character to match that. But it's still cute.
Small boutique/bed and breakfast-style hotel. Rooms are quite small, but most have access to outdoor balconies. Ours had a hammock which we enjoyed on a beautiful summer day! The bathroom was small, but really, how much time are you going to spend in the bathroom during your stay? We were barely in there, because it was our first time in Montreal and we wanted to go explore. Good for the price and in a great area! Just steps away from excellent shopping and restaurants. One of your best bets for the area and price.
Overall, staying here was pretty good. For me the highlight was the location, in the heart of the Plateau Mont-Royal neighborhood, on the main thoroughfare of Rue St-Denis, easy walking distance from so many fabulous places to eat (and the main reason I come to Montreal is to eat!). It's not a bad walk to downtown, either, or if you prefer it's right in between the Sherbrooke and Mont-Royal metro stations, a few minutes walk to either. For such a small and simple place there are quite a few amenities - croissants every morning, kitchenette and coffee maker in our room, complimentary bottled water and orange juice. There was free wifi, but as our rooms were in the far back corner, we couldn't get a strong signal and could only use the wifi while in the hallway. The main reason we stayed here was because we could get a 2-bd suite for a reasonable price. The suite didn't have a common living room area, it was basically just 2 regular rooms attached to each other, but it did have a nice little outdoor porch. I'm sure it would have been much nicer in the summertime, but we didn't use the porch much since on most days it was raining or snowing. The beds were murphy beds, so if you wanted more space you could put them away, but unfortunately we found them extremely uncomfortable for sleeping on. After 5 nights we were definitely looking forward to going home and sleeping in our own beds. I'm not sure if I'd stay here again, but it's certainly a nice contrast to a big hotel, the prices are reasonable, and like I said, the location is great if you're looking to hang out in this particular part of town.
