Hotel Arena Palace Montreal

It is not hotel, was surprised

Was worried about the quality for such a good price but was pleasantly surprised. Old everything but room was clean. Shower was clean enough. Room had it's own sink. Great location right next to the metro. Good cheap option if you just need a place to crash

Smelly place! Just don't go!!

Vey dirty smelly

The staff and their hospitality are good. The location is great. Transportation/food and entertainment all close by. Hower the hotel needs major upgrade. The place is cheap to stay. Would I stay there again???

Impossible de passer une nuit dans ces chambres horribles

very okay for the price but the area the hotel is located is not too safe

Old nostalgic decor and clean making my stay an eventful time.

For the incredibly reasonable price, we got a warm room with clean beds, and 24hr front door service for security. Two min walk to the metro, short walk (even shorter subway trip) to Old Montreal, Chinatown, the ports.

Its so unhygienic

Run down rooming house

Felt like I was in Europe ... Charming old and warm and welcoming

Good old fashioned surrroundings like being in Europe

It was awesomely quiet, and managed to get a lot of writing done. I felt like I was in Europe visiting my Grandpa. Just hold old fashion comfort.

The man who checked us in was very friendly! That and the fact the bed was comfortable and clean were the only redeeming things about this place. The price is EXACTLY what you pay for. The rooms are old, dilapidated and have questionable appliances. Despite the no smoking, our room reeked of cigarettes (there was one left half smoked on the window sill and a pile of ash over the radiator.) There were used condoms in the trash from the previous occupant. The only housekeeping this hotel does is changing the bed sheets. All that to say, it is incredibly close to the Berri-UQAM metro station and there is a super cool punk dive bar in the basement. So if you’re looking for a place to keep your things while you run around the city, it’s perfect. They do actually have 24/7 concierge so you can freely come and go. Great for a weekend out on the town, I would avoid looking at anything too closely in the daylight. No bedbugs or cockroaches though. TLDR: Great doorman; old, dirty rooms; very few amenities but safe enough once you’re inside.

Stay was alright.

this hotel is scam. Dont't book a room here!!

À peine un filet d’eau pour la douche, eau chaude pendant 2 minutes seulement

Not maintained

This place should not be advertised! Deplorable living conditions. The putrid smell packs a punch. Dilapidated room. I reiterate the unsanitary conditions. Smell of moisture is pretty distinctive. Layers of mold in the room. Washroom was icy. Heater was inoperative!!! Bathroom stinked. Putrid smell. Reeks of vomit like smell. Bed cloth is stained. No water pressure in the wash basin found in the room. And if water should spurt out, it would be brakish... Disgusting, unhygenic place. The owner is stealing money.
