The location is perfect. The train station to many sightseeing locations is right around the corner. Bus stop to/from YUL airport was about a 5 minutes walk. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and the BEST I’ve ever seen a hostel offer… I loved the place. So it’s really really sad to me to write that, unfortunately, my stay was not perfect because I woke up in my first morning with bed bug bites on my right hand and arms. That didn’t make any sense to me because the room (and the mattress) looked clean. But then I woke up on my second (and last) morning with more bed bug bites on my face and on my stomach this time, and a couple more on my arms. That was really upsetting.

+ Has all amenities needed: a locker, lamp beside your bed, socket beside your bed, privacy curtains (on all sides of the bed!). + Free towels, hair dryers + Really good free breakfast for a hostel (toast, bagels, waffles, maple syrup, cream cheese, butter, jam, peanut butter, fruit, milk and cereal, muffins, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, orange juice) + Incredibly helpful staff + Really nice location. Really central, walkable to many places, close to a main metro station with good connections, right next to the bus stop for the airport bus. Felt safe.

- 8-person dorms have small lockers. 6-person dorms have much bigger lockers.

Overall it was alright staying at the hostel. I had booked a 6-bed dormitory room, with a bathroom and a fridge in the room. The bathroom was always kept very clean. The room and the rest areas not that much, they could definitely use a wipe. The kitchen is well equipped for own use, and was kept in a good condition. They have always free coffee, tea, water, and hot chocolate. Besides my negatives listed below, I would probably still stay here again!

The room was in the basement, which I would have liked to know in advance! However, it had a good window and the air was always relatively fresh. The breakfast was okayish -besides Philadelphia spread, everything else was sweet - cereal, bagel bread, toast bread, muffins and pancakes, along with spreads of nutella, marmelade, maple syrop and others. It also offered apples and oranges. I would have loved to have some savoury options like tomatoes/ cucumber/ cheese/ eggs/ etc. The place is also very close to a big homeless and drug area, which can be uncomfortable sometimes especially at night. I was trying to avoid going back home from that street and was making a detour from the street across.

Hard to beat for the price point and location. We were worried when we saw that there were earplugs available at the front desk and the bar was open until 3 am on a Saturday night but we got a good sleep. The breakfast was better than we expected and the room was clean. A short walk to the Metro and we found neighbourhood parking with little difficulty.

There are some rough people in the area. I think this used to be some kind of a sex hotel as we had a huge mirror on the ceiling.

-I travelled by coach, which the bus terminal and metro station (Berri-UQAM) is 5 min walk from the hostel, so it was convenient even arriving late at night. However, be mindful that there are homeless people outside the metro station, so the location could be uncomfortable for some people at night. -The room I booked was a double room with an en-suite bathroom. Both the bathroom and the bedroom were clean. Toiletries were provided in the bathroom. -High-speed wifi. -Small fridge in the room, so perfect for me when I had leftovers/takeouts. -Nice breakfast (7:30-9:30 am) - blueberry/chocolate muffin (seems to rotate), bagel, waffle, bread, cereal with milk, fruits (apple and oranges), orange juice, coffee and tea. -Hairdryer available to borrow at the front desk.

-There is only one chair in the room, so the other person had to sit on the bed.

I went on my own to events held by Pride Montreal festival or something like the festival Montreal It is still Pride and Love expressing It was really wonderful only block away even through it was in French sometimes translated into English I did to go into English speaking club I had best time mixed of music of today's hits and yesterday's which I love of the latter, I did visit the botanical garden huge area.Yes I walked in the heat The Pride parade was the best of whole time

Not having toilet paper in public restroom

Great location! Right behind the bus station, easy access to the subway. 5 minutes walking from Quarter Latin which is really nice. 10 minutes walking from The Village. Walkable distance from Old Montreal if you like to enjoy the city on a walk. If on car, there is a safe parking from Enterprise a few meters from the hotel for a very good price. Overall it was more than I expected for the price. I booked a private room with private bathroom and it was tidy and clean when I arrived. Super comfy. Staff was super welcoming. I was there just for one night so I did not have time to check the hotel pub, but it did look good. Many backpackers. Montreal is always amazing and my go-to place for boring weekends.

The bath had no safe bar for us to hold on. The shower box has no door so the moisture fills the bedroom

The room was fine, the bed was super comfortable, the breakfast was amazing!! Not kidding, all days they provided waffles, bread, bagels and muffins (still debating if they were homemade or not because it was delicious). You have two cereals, fruit, orange juice and coffee. They provide strawberry jam, butter and Hazelnut Spread. There was a freezer in my room that I shared with other guests, the one in the kitchen was also available for some meals I prepared. The staff was really friendly, I used the wash and dry service, they had my clothes ready the same day.

There was a strong smell from another guest, I asked if that was normal in the room and the staff said that it was temporal due to the person sleeping in there. Tried to change room but due there was none. I was able to use the common areas until late (almost 12)

For this price point, the hotel offers great value for your money and is generally a great deal. The place has a smallish but functional kitchen space, which is great, and the common area is simple but comfortable. The breakfast options are plenty adequate and, besides, you're pretty close to tons of bakeries anyways.

I guess the wifi doesn't work well in rooms and the bath could have used a bit of maintenance as it kind of clogged up a bit. The stairs outside were a bit slippery due to the winter ice, so a bit of deicing would have been nice. Otherwise, there isn't much to say given the price.

I had an overall good stay, especially appreciating the excellent location. The hotel is conveniently situated near the Berri-UQAM metro station, which is a major hub with access to all metro lines. This made getting around the city incredibly easy and efficient. Would recommend this spot for anyone looking to explore the city with ease. Staff was available until 3 am.

The breakfast options were limited, but that's expected since it's a hostel. Overall, the room was clean, the bathtub drainage was slow, and the conditioner wasn't refilled when we got the room, though I didn’t mind as I had my own toiletries.
