A shared kitchen and common dining area are accessible to all guests at M Montreal. This youth hostel also features an on-site bar, where guests can enjoy a comedy show on select evenings, or play billiards or table football.

Amazing hostel! Every bed has its own plugs, light, hangers and its fully covered so you feel like in a capsule. Room was big and comfy, nice to sit in and talk. Bathroom was clean. Big common area, two kitchens and free tea and coffee all day long. Staff was really accommodating. Location is the best you can get, within walking distance of the metro and main bus station and also right near a big and lively street, so you only need to walk a minute from the hostel to get to bars restaurants etc. Also close to the old city and downtown, I walked everywhere.

The service was amazing. Sabina always has a smile on her face and she is very willing to help. The location was very convenient too. And finally, since they did not have availability for the next day, they were very helpful with saving our bags until we were able to find a new accommodation. Service 20/10

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location in old Montreal. Beautiful heritage building which unfortunately has had a poor renovation into a hostel. Our room had a feature brick wall and huge old, floor to ceiling windows and the bed was comfortable. Friendly staff.

    More than the great location of the hostel, the staff has been very friendly and helpful. I stayed in a 4 females bedroom and the room + the bathroom were both very clean. Also, I cannot write a review without mentioning that I appreciated the included breakfast that was very good and convenient.

    Great location, clean and safe hostel. I stayed in a dorm and it was comfortable and quiet. Since it is right smack in downtown Montreal, I would recommend it for a stay close to all public transportation. The breakfast was also very good.

    The hotel was a great deal for anyone looking to travel on a budget and be close to downtown and the best highlights of Montreal. It was my first time staying in a hostel abroad and it allayed my fears. I stayed in an all-female room of 12 and it was super safe and clean all the time. The jacuzzi on the roof is amazing and the staff were friendly and multi-lingual. I even extended my stay one extra day. I would 100% recommend this place to friends, solo travellers and especially female solo travellers.

    I'm from Ukraine and I spent about 2 weeks there. It was the cheapest and best hostel with an amazing breakfast every morning. This place is really nice, clean, and so comfortable. The staff was also very nice and helpful. Thank you to everyone for everything. I liked it so much!!"

    Great location, very nice and competent staff, newly built hotel so spacey room with washrooms and social corner, plus large common areas to work / cook / eat / relax. Each bunk bed as 2 electric plugs, a light, under the bed locker, storage around the bed, and curtains to sleep nicely. Plus the WiFi is really good! Close to a lot of things in Downtown Montreal. So far the best Hostel in that city, especially at that price!
