The stay felt more like an AirBNB in a condo than a hotel, which was fine, but something to expect if needing amenities or wanting a 24H front desk. It was very clean. Self check in was smooth and they were quick to respond to texts in English and/or French. The hotel is close to Pie-IX métro which made commuting by public transit very easy, as well as the Biodome and other city attractions. The place is old so the floors creak and you can hear the other neighbours walking around; however the area was quiet and safe, making it easy to sleep.
This is a personal gripe but the pillows provided were the fluffy kind that really elevates your head and we both found that our necks were sore. If I could change one thing about Hotel Gite du Survenant it would be to have some flat pillows in the closet to have options, but that’s very minor haha.
I’d strongly recommend staying here, whether you are a single traveller or a group!
