Résidences de l'Ouest de l'UQAM

The best thing about this place (as a student) would be the location, and that's all.Really narrow rooms. Price is normal for that sq ft.Water issues.Smell is not good either.Phones did not work.It is sort of dim light inside the rooms because of the one wall lamp.No AC. Stove is old and crooked spiral ones.Windows won't open all the way (like prisons).So why people are staying there you might ask? Cuz the price is lower than other studio apartments (not the same Sq ft though) and people are students that can't complain. ALSO, this place is located in a really good neighborhood

Staff was entering female dorms w/o notice. Had friends who were caught in their towels as male staff members entered their rooms w/o notice.You may be lucky enough to be visited by the many bed bugs and cockroaches at your stay.Bathrooms are unclean and many of the toilets fail to work. There was mildew on the ceiling and the white shower curtains were dyed pink by the mold build up on them.Counter tops were cracked and covered in holes. Sheets were not cleaned properly.Staff was kind, but disorganized. No way a stay at this residence should be ~$150 a night. The location is great, but please do yourself a favour and stay somewhere else. The new rates are unfathomable for the service you are receiving.

Not worth the great location and price. My room #590 has coakroaches in it and no way the residence staff didn't knew ahead of time. My roommate's notified the staff last week but there hasn't been any actions taken yet to get pest control to spray our room or for the residence to take action by relocating us in a room without coakroaches. They probably dont want to relocate us as they make more money from the upcoming tourists during the summer than students that pay at a reduced rateThe front desk is inadequate and make you wait for over an hour just to check in or to get any basic service. They're very disorganized and the rooms aren't even properly cleaned.

The rooms are nasty and my friend had coakroaches in their dorm on the 5th floor. Most of the furniture is worn and the sofas have holes in them (where the coakroaches love to hide in). You'd have to purchase a light for the bedrooms as they're dark. The front desk takes over an hour to check in as they're not organized. Overall, don't book a room here even if you're

Front desk service is super helpful. Also open 24 hours which is very convenient.

Let me start off with staying, you get what you paid for. My initial experience was horrible as I paid for a studio and got put in with another person in a 2 bedroom on my anniversary, that quickly changed because the staff was amazing, Abdul and co were very nice to me and understanding. The only thing i can really complain about was that the room wasnt clean at all, i swept and mopped and sanitized when I got there. If your coming in the dead of summer, bring a fan or an A/C, room is going to be super hot. Bring your own pillow and sheets (they are provided but if you like extra comfort). Room has hot plates and small mini fridge. Bring knife , spoons and plates - was steps away from downtown so location is perfect. Overall good experience and super cheap. Price was decent and I loved the experience, would come again but maybe in the cooler season. Parking - was free for Saturday-Sunday right along side the road in front of the hotel, and for Monday-Tuesday I paid 14 in the underground parking right next to the hotel.

Upon check in we were given a room with dirty papers on the floor and a half eaten cookie and garbage in our room. We were switched to a room 30 minutes later and it was cleaner but still very dirty. There was a crack pipe in the kitchen drawer!

I was surprised at how decent this place was based off the reviews. The beds were clean, but the floors and bathroom were a bit dirty. We stayed in a 2 room suite, which I would caution against if you are a solo traveler as our unit mate was a creepy older man so I would have felt very unsafe alone. The rooms were also very hot and there was no AC so I would recommend bringing your own fan. The bed was comfortable enough.

Very cheap and basic place to stay, with a great location. It is a student dorm with some apartments. The check-in was fast, conversely to other reviewers' experiences. The apartment was quite clean but poorly furnished, without AC (but with a fan in the room), with an uncomfortable mattress, but the price was 5x less than most other options in the city, so overall it was fine.

**Edit: my room has COAKROACHES in it. I was eating lunch at my dorm and my backpack was open on the sofa. I saw a coakroach appear on the sofa and quickly zipped closed my bag and put it away from the sofa and off the floor.The residence staff are AWARE that this unit has coakroaches, myself and my roommates told them last week about it and nothing has been done. These slumlords are taking advantage of students.They make you wait over an hour past the time you were told you were allowed to check in just to stat in dirty rooms.
