Overall Ratings & Reviews Bakan - Sainte Catherine

Pretty good location, overall. But the check in experience was pretty bad. The owner sent out a follow up after confirming the reservation, among other things wanted a selfie of me next to my ID. Due to where I was, I didn’t see it for a few days. No one has ever demanded this of me before. What’s more, the link they provided to upload my photo didn’t work. I was in areas with limited cell service so I couldn’t keep trying. There was something weird in the address link they gave for the property. Maps on my iPhone wouldn’t find it and my cab couldn’t find it either. Eventually I got there, but didn’t have a link to the owner. Fortunately another guest came along and provided the phone number to call in and get this resolved. Like I said, a pretty good price on a pretty good property in a good location. But the checking process needs work.

The apartment is in a great location, close to lots of restaurants and shops. It's an easy 30–45 minute walk to Old Montreal and the port, which was perfect for exploring the city. The space was clean and comfortable, though it could use a few minor repairs—it feels more like a lived-in apartment than a hotel room. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely be back the next time I'm in Montreal!

The actual door to the apartment is tricky to find. It’s right where the map says it is but it’s really just that, an apartment amongst the bustle of Saint Cat. This is a good place for a couple dudes after a show. This is not a good place for a couple looking for a quiet getaway.

Spacious, nicely furnished, sunny, great location.

Overall, great value and location. Went to the disturbed concert and the venue was within walking distance, also lots of options for food in the area.

Loved how close it was to everything we needed! One of the nicest places I've stayed, will definitely be back!

Communication with the host was very frustrating. We received check-in instructions at 4:30pm (check-in was 4pm) and that was after a phone call to Expedia. No one evers answers the phone number provided by the host and the voicemail is only in French. Also, I'm not sure what the building use to be, but we stayed in a unit on the 1st floor, and there is what appears to be a lobby that is attached to the unit. The lobby doors are unlocked, and there is direct access to the door that goes directly into the bedroom. The door to the bedroom is locked of course, but it personally made me feel uneasy. Otherwise, the unit is very clean and spacious. Location is great! Close to bars, clubs, shopping, transportation, and the area is very convenient/walkable area.

Everything was perfect for our stay. The only thing I was disappointed about is the elevator not working at all. Not easy when you have a stroller.

Me and my family had a great time and the room was nice ( the only issue was with the heat) but all was great and we enjoyed our time 🙏👍

Bring your own coffee

Excellent value for price. Spacious. Very good kitchen and kitchen supplies and appliances. But could NOT get hot water in the shower. Big fail there. Otherwise would totally recommend.

Good location to the bell centre and local restaurants. Had all the items you would need like full fridge, kettle, big TV and the best part... heated bathroom floor! I will use this location again Im sure

Super location, quiet and private despite being on bustling St. Catherine street. Get anywhere quickly on foot or on metro.

The place is really nice and big enough. The location is also great since there’s the metro, shopping centre and restaurants nearby.

Surprised by the space and location. I would visit again

Perfection

Very nice place. I really recommend it.

Fantastic location! Big open co Celt apartment in the middle of all the action. We will definitely be back.

The property was in a very good location to visit downtown Montreal and very quiet. Unfortunately it needs some work and could be cleaner. The floorboards are loose in many places, the whole place needs painting, bathroom sink needs caulking and walls, light switches are not clean.

The accommodation was a large comfortable apartment, 1.5 blocks from the subway, in the middle of a shopping and restaurant district. Montreal has a world class subway system that can get you around the city in minutes. I am likely to stay here again. There is a mandatory email check in form that I nearly missed.
