Hotel Arena Palace Montreal

Run down rooming house

Good service

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.

Excellent

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!!

Pour le prix que j'ai payé la prestation est vraiment très insuffisante à tous les niveaux.

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.

Worst place ever

Bien situé pour mes besoins Personnel très serviable et sympathique Chambre bien décorée, petit look rétro Bon prix Services et magasins à proximité

I booked a 2-night stay and called to confirm that I would be checking in late. I was told that late check-in could not be accommodated, but that I could check in the following morning. When I showed up the following morning i was told that my room had been rebooked and that I would have to check in after 4pm after my room was cleaned, even though my card was charged for a 2 night stay through Expedia. The employee working the desk was hostile and appeared to be quite inconvenienced by my attempts to check in. I ultimately had to book a room for the night at another hotel, because I did not feel safe returning there or dealing with the employee again. Expedia did not refund me.

My room did not have a washroom and smelled terrible. The property is very poor that I have to vacate immediately.
