364 Rue Delinelle: a detailed review for student housing in Montreal
Located at Montréal, QC H4C 3A8, Canada, 364 Rue Delinelle is a residence near the St‑Henri neighbourhood, about 10–15 minutes by Metro from Concordia University’s downtown campuses. With a Google rating of 4.0 from 467 reviews, it’s a notable option among the eight student properties listed in Montreal on our platform. The building offers non‑ensuite rooms and apartments, with a monthly rent range of CAD 950–1,000. This review breaks down who will find this residence suitable, who might want to look elsewhere, what residents actually say, and how the pricing compares to the local market.
Who this residence suits
Students focused on cleanliness and common‑area upkeep
One recurring theme in positive reviews is the high level of cleaning. A guest named Womp Womp wrote: “Please you need to give the housekeeping / janitor team a raise !!! I’ve never before been to any hostel/residence this clean. I’d honestly expected much less than this. There are multiple washrooms and showers in every block and they are all spotless. You’re also free to use the common rooms and laundry rooms (paid th…”. While the review cuts off, the emphasis on spotless washrooms and common rooms suggests that if daily tidiness is a priority, this property delivers.
Students who value a walkable, transit‑connected location
Rodney Marsh noted: “Not luxury but serves it’s purpose as place to sleep. The location is perfect everything you need is within a short walking distance or Metro trip.” The residence sits close to Metro stations (likely Lionel‑Groulx or Place‑Saint‑Henri) and is surrounded by groceries, cafés, and parks. For students at Concordia University, the commute using the green line Metro is about 12–15 minutes to Guy‑Concordia station. This convenience means you can keep a relatively low monthly transport cost.
Budget‑conscious students who still want a private unit
The price range of CAD 950–1,000 per month is above Montreal’s overall lowest student listing price of CAD 610, but it places the property at the moderate‑to‑higher end of the city’s student housing market. For students willing to pay more for a dedicated private room (non‑ensuite or full apartment) rather than a shared dorm, 364 Rue Delinelle offers a middle ground. The monthly cost covers Wi‑Fi and access to a workstation – useful for those who need a quiet study spot within the building.
Who this residence does not suit
Students who require air conditioning in summer
A critical one‑star review from Sandra Caja reads: “There’s no AIR CONDITIONING in the rooms, and the heat was unbearable. We …”. Although the review is incomplete, the complaint about missing AC is clear. Montreal summers can reach 30 °C with high humidity, and a room without cooling can be uncomfortable. If you are sensitive to heat or prefer an air‑conditioned space, this property is unlikely to meet your needs. Fans may help, but the lack of AC is a noted drawback.
Students who need consistent bathroom privacy
The same negative review stated: “the bathrooms were dirty and completely unsanitary, which made using them extremely uncomfortable. On top of that, there’s no privacy, I had to walk past half‑naked men just to get to the bathroom.” While Womp Womp’s review praised cleanliness, Sandra Caja’s experience contradicts that. Such disparity suggests that cleaning standards may vary by floor or block. The lack of private bathrooms (since the unit types are non‑ensuite) means shared facilities, and the absence of privacy (possible open layout or gender‑mixed corridors) could be a deal‑breaker for anyone who values personal space in washroom access.
Students on a strict minimum budget
At CAD 950–1,000, this property is about 55–65 % above Montreal’s lowest student offering (CAD 610). If you are trying to keep housing costs under CAD 700, you will need to look at other residences (shared dorms or older buildings) with lower rent. Additionally, the deposit information is not listed, so you should confirm the upfront payment with the operator before committing.
What residents actually say about the property
Three Google reviews are available on our listing. They paint a mixed picture.
Positive – Cleanliness and staff
Womp Womp (rating 5): “Please you need to give the housekeeping / janitor team a raise !!! I’ve never before been to any hostel/residence this clean. I’d honestly expected much less than this. There are multiple washrooms and showers in every block and they are all spotless. You’re also free to use the common rooms and laundry rooms (paid th…”
This review highlights excellent daily cleaning, multiple washrooms per block, and accessible common and laundry areas. The cut-off likely mentions paid laundry, but the overall tone is enthusiastic.
Positive – Location
Rodney Marsh (rating 5): “Not luxury but serves it’s purpose as place to sleep. The location is perfect everything you need is within a short walking distance or Metro trip.”
The resident confirms that the property is not high‑end but is functional and well‑positioned. If you value proximity to amenities and transit over luxury finishes, this aligns.
Negative – Hygiene, privacy, and lack of air conditioning
Sandra Caja (rating 1): “I had a very disappointing stay at this hostel. The bathrooms were dirty and completely unsanitary, which made using them extremely uncomfortable. On top of that, there’s no privacy, I had to walk past half‑naked men just to get to the bathroom. There’s no AIR CONDITIONING in the rooms, and the heat was unbearable. We …”
This one‑star review raises serious concerns about bathroom condition, privacy in common areas, and the absence of cooling. The “half‑naked men” comment suggests the shared bathroom arrangement may involve crossing through male‑occupied spaces, which could feel intrusive.
Takeaway: The property seems to have inconsistent experiences. Some guests find it extremely clean; others encounter dirty facilities. The location and staff are praised, but the lack of AC and potential privacy issues are major cons. To form your own judgment, consider reading more recent reviews directly on Google Maps (search for “364 Rue Delinelle Montreal”) or contacting the operator to ask about bathroom layouts and cleaning schedules.
Price positioning vs. Montreal’s student housing market
Montreal’s lowest available student‑housing price on our platform is CAD 610 per month. 364 Rue Delinelle starts at CAD 950, which is 55 % higher than that entry‑level option. Among the eight properties listed in Montreal, this residence sits at the higher end for non‑ensuite rooms and apartments. However, it is not the most expensive – some full apartments in the city go well above CAD 1,200.
Indicative pricing – confirm with the operator:
- Non‑ensuite rooms: ~CAD 950–1,000 monthly
- Apartments: likely at the top of the range (CAD 1,000)
Prices are indicative for the 2026–2027 academic year; always verify with the building manager, as rates may change with occupancy season.
Given the city’s relatively affordable housing landscape, paying CAD 950+ makes sense if you want a private room with Wi‑Fi and a workspace, plus access to laundry and common rooms. If you can compromise on privacy (e.g., shared dorm) or move a bit further from the Metro, you could find options closer to CAD 600–800.
Room‑type guidance
Two unit types are available:
-
Non‑ensuite rooms – shared bathroom and kitchen facilities. This is the more budget‑friendly option within the property. Typical layouts include a private bedroom with a shared corridor bathroom. From the reviews, the number of washrooms per block is multiple, but privacy may be limited. Good for students who are comfortable with shared amenities and want to keep rent closer to CAD 950.
-
Apartments – full private units (likely studio or one‑bedroom) with own kitchen and bathroom. The price will be at the higher end (~CAD 1,000). Apartments eliminate the privacy issues raised in negative reviews and give you full control over cleanliness. They also will have their own air‑conditioning situation – confirm with the operator whether apartments have AC, since the negative review specifically mentioned rooms (possibly non‑ensuite ones) without it.
Advice: If you are sensitive to sharing bathrooms or dislike walking through common areas, pay extra for an apartment. If you can tolerate shared facilities and want to save money, the non‑ensuite option may work, but you should ask the operator about the layout and cleaning schedule.
Booking timing
The property’s tags include “not_available”, which likely indicates that the residence is currently sold out or not taking new bookings at the time of data collection (mid‑2026). Because student housing in Montreal fills up quickly for the September intake – especially for properties near Concordia University – you should:
- Start searching as early as possible, ideally 6–8 months before your intended move‑in.
- Contact the operator directly to ask about waitlists or future availability for the 2026–2027 academic year.
- Monitor the property page for re‑opening. The “not_available” status could change once new inventory is released.
If you need accommodation sooner, consider other properties listed in Montreal (there are seven others on our platform) with rents starting from CAD 610.
