This hostel in the heart of Plateau-Mont-Royal features a rooftop terrace with a view of Montréal. Rooms include a continental breakfast and free Wi-Fi. Sherbrooke Metro Station is 5 minutes’ walk away.

Nothing to add, it was perfect. The breakfast can be counted as free ..it is enough for the amount. The director is still doing a great work which I personally appreciate...Well done to the team Nico, Simon and others..

Located in Old Montreal, Auberge Saint Paul features free WiFi access and air-conditioned rooms. The Old Port of Montreal is less than 5 minutes’ walk away.

A shared bathroom is available for all guests to use at this hostel. Select rooms offer a view.

The staff was very friendly and helpful with the problem I had. And I am grateful that they did refund my money afterwards, and even the receptionist went above and beyond to provide a hand. I understand it's a problem that was somewhat unpredictable, and they handled it great. Will definitely give it another chance on my next trip.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    They make you pay ahead of time like it’s a youth hostel and the front desk staff is grossly rude

    The rooms, sanitary areas, beds and everything in the hostel was extremely clean and modern. The rooms are big and look welcoming and have each an individual bathroom. There are also work spaces in case you need to do important things on your laptop. The location is very convenient: rather central in Montreal and 5 minutes away by foot from the metro. It’s absolutely worth the money and one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in so far.

    Great location, main train station is very close, old town is about 30-40 min walking, a lot of stores, restaurants and bars nearby. Bed was confortable and the hostel was clean in general. Breakfast is basically cereals and baggels, good but nothing special. There is a bar and there is always some activity planned for the day.

    It's a hostel, the room had 30 beds (10x3 bunk beds). It was clean, there are showers, internet and facilities. They change the sheets after each visitor and the access is automatic, which gives you the liberty to move whenever you need.

    Very old construction. We were in a premium suite. All the furniture were very old and squeaky. The beds were uncomfortable to sleep.. Washroom was too small with no exhaust fan.The gym has no modern equipments to workout and I didn't feel safe to use them. Overall it felt like living in an old and cheap apartment.
