The buzzing neighborhood with lively bars was perfect for nightlife, but the smoky smell in the room lingered on our clothes and belongings.

Sketchy area with too many steep stairs.

The location is convenient, just a short walk to the subway. However, the bathroom was in poor condition, with noise from the bar below.

Recommend it for budget travelers

The staff were really good, they buzz you in 24hrs a day,, and Norman was great to deal with.

It wasn’t exactly cheap,, but for what it was, I can’t complain too much.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Hotel Dorion. The location was superb, being just a minute's walk from the subway, making it easy to explore the city. The air conditioning worked wonderfully, providing a cool respite from the summer heat, and the staff were so kind and helpful during my stay.

Limited amenities available.

Located in a vibrant neighborhood, this budget-friendly option offers clean linens and a comfortable bed. The addition of a small freezer and coffee machine was a pleasant surprise, enhancing the stay. Accessibility via a 24-hour reception adds to the convenience, but be prepared for steep stairs and some outdated decor as maintenance is needed. Noise from the nearby bar can be a factor, albeit manageable for most visitors.

I loved the easy access to the nightlife and attractions around. We enjoyed surfing the web in our room and the atmosphere was buzzing, making it a great spot for a lively getaway with my girlfriend.

For dads, it would be great if there were more family-friendly activities nearby.

Everything! Convenient check-in, vibrant neighborhood, affordable rates!

Not as terrible as some reviews suggest! The room was clean and had a portable a/c, which was a lifesaver. I just needed a budget-friendly place to crash, and this suited my needs right fine.

The stairs are so steep, they could double as a climbing wall! Also, let's just say the decor screamed 'time capsule'—not in a good way.

perfect for budget travelers seeking vibrant culture near metro grocery store

The location is unbeatable, just a minute from the subway! The staff were friendly, and check-in was a breeze! Clean bed, basic amenities met my needs closely.

I stayed here for one night and found the location convenient for exploring the area. I walked to a nearby café for breakfast and enjoyed the buzzing atmosphere. The room was clean and had everything I needed, including a private bathroom. The buzz from the nearby bar was low enough to not disturb my sleep. Being from Rome, I appreciated the unique vibe here. Would definitely recommend it for those looking to explore nightlife.

There were some signs of wear in the building. The stairs were steep, which might pose difficulties for some guests. Not a place for those seeking complete tranquility, especially given the nearby bar.

Good hotel with free Wi-Fi, 24-hour reception, and air conditioning. I still remember the staff helping me with technical issues on my first visit. I highly recommend it for a great experience. I'm coming back for a city break.

Can just recommend for a weekend vacation

Comfortable bed, clean room, and free Wi-Fi made my stay pleasant and enjoyable, while the close proximity to the Papineau Metro Station offered easy access to explore the city's attractions.

Everything was as perfect as can be.
