Pros: The neighborhood around the hotel is really interesting to explore.
Cons: smokers from the show's tend to block the doorway
I had never been to Montreal before this trip and was so lucky to find pensione popolo. Not only was my stay fantastic but the room is two lopes above a fantastic cafe and venue space with great shows. They warn you that te shows can be a little loud, but the rooms are on the third floor and we never heard a thing. The location couldn't be better a quick walk I farmont bagel for breakfast coffee at cafe sardine hangout in the park for a bit then grab a bite at wilenskys. A+++
Pros: This was an amazing hotel to stay in. The staff are all fantastic. The room is wonderfully affordable in a perfect neighborhood. This was more like staying at a friends house than sleep in a hotel.
Cons: Everything was perfect!
