Liked: Nothing in particular

Disliked: Wobbly, squeaky bed in double room. Corridor smelt of pot constantly. Not sure if this was other guests but they seemed to be getting away with it the whole time we stayed there. Do not stroke the dog...he will growl at you.

Liked: Good location, easy to get to. The bathrooms were kept clean.

Disliked: I stayed in a nine bed dorm. These rooms are very cramped and contain 3, 3 level beds. The kitchen isn't very well equiped.

Liked: Friendly staff. In a pretty lively neighborhood. Close access to trains. Good for meeting people.

Disliked: Cold showers only. Creaky floorboards so could hear everyone walking around. Owner has a small dog which is around much of the time. Could hear it barking and scratching at floorboards. Doesn't have 24 hour reception. Booked single room, but got room with a bunk bed (squeaky and not very sturdy). Arrived and had to put sheets, pillow case and blanket on to bed myself.

Liked: Everyone is friendly and even though it's not in the centre of Montreal, you can easily get there by public transport in just 15 minutes or on foot (an hour or so). Besides, it's right nest to the Mont Royal Park, which is really nice and the Park de la Fontaine, which is very nice too.

Disliked: Everything in the kitchen had a old rusty touch (it was clean, though) and someone stole 5 beers from me and my friends!!!

Liked: People were very friendly and for someone a little "savage" like me, it was easy to make contacts.

Disliked: The heater in the rrom didn't work (it would have be useful the first days) the place isn't in very good condition, especially the electric plugs that suffer bad contacts, and there not so many lockers for valuables or luggages.

Liked: Hostel was in a part of town with a ton of character near tons of shops, bars, restaurants. We were glad to stay here rather than downtown. One of the cheapest private room options.

Disliked: As echoed by other reviewers, there aren't quite enough bathrooms.

Michael Brown

13 October 2009

Liked: The location was excellent. Jeff was a warm friendly face who really looked after people. The place had character...nice high ceilings, hardwood floors, etc. Our room facing the street was beautiful.On the downside, there only seemed to be 2 full bathrooms for 50 + people. The walls were thin and the hallways were noisy. The kitchen table on the morning after a night or revelry was very dirty. Most importantly, with the concerns and seriousness surrounding the H1N1 flu, the level of hygiene and the ratio of bathrooms/sinks to number of guests is a huge problem. The 2 bathrooms did not have soap. Please install hand sanitizers in the hallways, kitchen and bathrooms.

Disliked: Michael left no negative feedback.

Patrick Holzer

01 September 2009

Liked: cant check in before 5 pm, absolutely NOT downtown:you have to walk about 3/4 hour to downtown(centre-ville)/st-catherine street, or take metro, but thats too expensive (2,75 $ fee).. the hostel is way too small and there are too many people, and so its really croweded, a great place for thiefs, we were stolen 50 bucks right out of our pockets while we were sleeping... not enough toilettes and showers. Jeff (staff) is friendly...

Eric Kowalewski

31 August 2009 Eric would recommend this property

Liked: The beds are quite comfortable(in the private double-bed-room) although they don't really look like they are. Around the hostel there is everything you need:many restaurants,stores,shops,cafés and the metro is just a few minutes away. The staff was very nice, too.The bathrooms are a little bit dirty, but we were okay with that, since we had sandals;)

Disliked: Eric left no negative feedback.
