I have stayed at several hostels across Canada and this one seems to be the most social even for an English speaking person like myself. The air conditioned rooms are great and the staff is very eager to help. More

My girlfriend and I stayed here for one night to catch a flight the next day. The staff was friendly and the room was okay, clean but a bit dingy. The hostel was a few blocks from bars and restaurants and close to downtown. However trying to sleep was impossible, other guests were coming and going and yelling at all... More

Hi Lira! My name is Gabriel. First of all, thank you for your review on the hostel! It's the best way for us to keep on improving our services.

I stayed for a week in a private room. The room was nice and big, with a large bathroom attached. The staff are friendly and helpful. They organise regular activities which are fun. The only negative was the central airconditioning was noisy but they said they are working on replacing it. More

stayed in a 10 person dorm in montreal. each dorm comes with their own restroom which you really learn to appreciate so that was nice. however, no breakfast was included in the price and expectations had been set by other HI hostels. in terms of location, it was right next to a metro line which is great, but personally if...

Hey! Many thanks for your comment! I'll definitly let the staff that you liked them! I have to admit that in term of location, there is little we can do to move the building to latin quarter ;) Anyhow, as you just wrote, a lot of people like the fact that it is really close to crescent and ste-catherine streets....

Good location, friendly staff, especially on the front desk. The room was quite big for a 4 bed dorm and a huge plus for the en suite bathroom. Loved the breakfast area. Would recommend! More

I stayed in this hostel last night. All I can say is that it fulfilled all my needs, I had a bed where to pass out, there was a washroom I could use. It had a small shelf where I could put my eye shadow makeup in the washroom, a decent size shower I didn't use it tho because I... More

Our first impressions of this hostel weren't great, but they pulled it out of the bag and we had a great time. We stayed in a private room with en suite. We were expecting a double but it was two twin beds, the breakfast suggestion was to see what was on the free food shelf and there was no hot... More

Bonjour KSud! Great to ear (read) your opinion about us! I have to admit that the plumbing problem right after new year was quite a headache... Not easy easy finding plumbers at the time of the year! Anyhow, I'm glad your overall stay was enjoyable and that you like the walking tour we offer. (If your back in summer time,... More

I arrived on the 1st of January with two friends and immediately our impressions took a bad turn. No hot water throughout the hostel and the staff didn't know when the problem would be fixed. When we left on the 3rd, the problem was still not fixed. To make matters worse, our dorm room was so tiny that one person... More

Bonjour Steven, You could see that this message is very similar to my answer to the comments left before yours... Both are pretty much pointing at the same issues.. Again, I apologize for all the hassle… The water tank break on January 1st, was surely unexpected and pretty much all the city plumbers seemed to be hiding somewhere far far... More
