Considering location and services provided, it's a great deal. The staff there is very friendly and the hostel has this weekly program that is great (walking tours, pub crawl, etc). Definitely will go back there if I'm around.

Really neat and clean dorms with ensuite washroom and bathroom. Staff are superbly friendly, helpful and very willing to answer questions. Staff has good knowledge of montreal and great food recommendations for foodies like me. Near shopping areas and restaurants, walkable distance from via rail. Really enjoyed my stay here!

Hey! Many thanks for this great review! Let's be honest, I think a lot of the staff could be consider «foodies» too! We love to eat in good little local restaurants. So glad you enjoyed your stay! Take care and see you again maybe! -Gabriel More

When I look for a hostel to stay in, the main things I'm concerned about are cleanliness and security. After that comes location, and I was very pleased to find this hostel delivered all three. The rooms were clean, with a private bathroom and shower (always a bonus!). There were two of us who reserved a four-bed female dorm, and... More

It is easy to find and get to by bus and metro. It's within walking location to cool shopping downtown. My complaint would be it lacks good tourist information. They couldn't recommend anything. Just gave me a map. Take lessons from the HI in Vancouver and have some info printed off with directions. I had a lot of trouble getting... More

Bonjour Tracey! Thanks for your review and comments. Honestly, if I would only have been given a map and no informations about the city when checking-in a hostel, I would be deceived too... It is definitly not the type of customer service we encourage the staff to do and I have to say that if you experience that, then we... More

ok for large groups or school kids but not for the traveller. Lacks personality, feels like a factory and a bit tacky. Why go to a big chain when there are so many other excellent independent places to try ? It's close to the city but not the parts of the city that you'd want to visit. All the facilities,... More

Dear customer, First of all, thank you for your review. I have to admit that I'm sorry if your stay wasn't as good as what you expected... Of course we are a big hostel, though we always try to bring a good vibe and a cosy mood for the people. Having a wide variety of free activities every days (pubcrawls,... More

I decited to stay here a night to visit a friend. The staff and other visitors were very friendly. The fact that its so close to the bus station makes it very convenient for late night arrivals. It always seems like something is planned for the night you are staying at, so its definitely not boring.

We had a room with a private bathroom. The room was small but it did the job. The only window in the room looked in to the bar/cafe area so the curtain had to be pulled if changing. Could be noisy at times with people coming and going late at night but that's the life in a hostel I suppose.... More

Our room was really nice here; fairly quiet for a hostel and spotlessly clean. We also had an ensuite bathroom which was nice, BUT between 10 of us a bit of a challenge for everyone to shower!
