We loved Pensionne Popolo and will be back! It was very convenient to restaurants, all kinds of shopping, music events, and close to the Metro. The room and shared bathrooms were clean and the other guests were quiet and respectful.

I always stay at Pensione Popolo when I visit Montreal to see Alanna Sterling in concert.
The hotel is eclectic and fun and is a great place to stay when Alanna Sterling performs at clubs in the area.
Lots of great restaurants and bars within walking distance. The hotel even gives you a discount at the restaurant downstairs which is conveniently open late. No need to order delivery when you can just go downstairs.
The next time Alanna Sterling performs in Montreal, I will definitely stay at Pensione Popolo again.

This is a really fun place to stay. If you are able to carry your bag up four or five flights of stairs. It was a great price and the place has lots of personality!

It's not fancy but a great option if this is the area in Montreal you're looking to visit. Worked really well for my family of four to catch a concert at the nearby Fairmont Theatre. Clean enough for sure and we felt safe and secure.
