evo Montréal

Great location. You can get to the old port and centre ville in just a few minutes walking. The building has good spaces but the shared kitchens tend to be really dirty. Staff at the desk are not particularly nice or helpful.Honestly it is good for first timers at Montreal but you can get a nice place at a way lower price.

I don’t like the staff. They are rude. One of them pulled me by had to prevent me to enter to the guest hall with my coat in hands. They wanted to made us to give our coats to the coat check while it costs $3 for each coat. In the bar also, they didn’t accepted credit card, just cash!

The security in this building is horrible, they locked me out of my room multiple times, I came home at 2am and they wouldn’t let me in, the elevators constantly break, fire department had to rescue someone, it is not safe at all, homeless people sleep in the lobby, fire alarm went off as a false alarm and no one called the fire department! Absolutely not worth your money

Want the WORST of a hotel and a dorm combined for 3x the cost of an apartment? Then you found the right place.Others will be disappointed by the often rude, rarely available staff, barely furnished and deteriorating rooms, mold on the ceilings and curtains, disgusting mattresses, insecure and slow internet, broken bathrooms, and near-total lack of amenities. Further, they will find the location rather isolated, being down a steep hill from town, blocked from underground metro access on weekends, nights, and some days, and far far away from affordable food or essentials. Almost everything advertised on the EVO website is at best, neglected and disappointing, but most often totally nonexistent–including the kitchens. The mail does exist..but they refused to give me a key after I requested one 5 separate times.I believe one or two floors are maintained and actually renovated, hence the 5 star reviews—all others have clearly been neglected since the 1970's.Only pro is that the dep isn't bad, and I guess the elevators are fast once you can get to them.If you come, expect to spend a minimum 150-300 on basic household essentials, 120-200 on cooking supplies, and 20-40/month on laundry.If you do come or are stuck here, good luck! I hope you can make it work!

This place should be condemned!Windows held with red tape, air units that leak lots of water, night staff that are downright rude to you when you ask for more towels or to replace a lost keycard. I overheard a day staff manager say to a student that they are going to bill their mother for something; very juvenile.A laundry room that has more machines ‘out of order’ that what are in use.Beds with springs that make you feel like you’re on a rollercoaster; the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. The floor was more accommodating.Don’t ever stay here; it’s awful and should be condemned and closed!

Rooms were portrayed to be “luxury.”Reality is quite the opposite. The building is dated and the rooms are poorly renovated hotel rooms turned into doubles or if you’re lucky, a single.The WiFi network might be the worst part though. The entire network is unsecure and accessible from even down the block. An absolute playground for anyone with even basic cybersecurity knowledge.

This is the worst place that I have ever lived.Kitchen: People stole each other stuff and the staff had nothing to do with it. They showed me the kitchen will be on the same floor but when I moved in, my room was in the 9th floor, and the kitchen was in 5th floor.Laundry: People also stole my stuff and they said they can't do anything with it. Whenever I did laundry, I had to sat there straight 2 hours to watch my clothes. The dryer usually doesn't work and I have to dry my clothes for 2nd time, even 3rd.I had a shared room, and my roommate lived exactly like a rat, she lived 8 months there without cleaning.Room: The room was small, not enough light, two people will be separated by a wood board, totally there wasn't any privacy for the price 900 dollars per month. The fridge was like a mini one but you have to share it with your roommate. You cannot use the big fridge in the kitchen otherwise it will be a free meal for someone else. The staff just knew to say they were sorry and couldn't do anything with it.If I have 0 star, I would give this place 0, and I will stop all of my friends who think about moving here.

The staff is so unorganized I lived here for my first semester and just ONE incident was that they had a male roommate sent up to my room at 2 in the morning because they couldn’t figure out how to check their records and thought based on my name I was male. I would recommend finding literally anywhere else to live when moving to Montreal

Visited here for potential student housing. ✅Parents : please visit and make your own assessment. We found it to be in a desolate place, the front desk is gloomy. There is an escalator that takes you to the elevator but it seems anyone can go in and out. I did not see any security.1. They do host 2 floors to homeless people, i did see a few families or refugees without a home and people homeless with mental health conditions. I asked the manager directly for these details. She said, “full disclosure, yes. Do you still want to see the room?”2. The communal kitchens are filthy as in FILTHY. Dirt and food crumbs etc on stove, table and counters. The manager said it’s up to residents to clean as the housekeeping has enough work to do.3. Everything is carpeted and this includes the rooms, not hygienic, and one vacuum to rent .4. Location is far enough to feel isolated from local cafes etc.
