The staff were all fantastic and were very very helpful with everything. However one bathroom for an entire 10 bed dorm room was not enough at all...

Very nice hostel, super friendly staff, good bar in the basement (a bit noisy but I guess that is normal). I would definitey recommend it to somebody exploring Montreal for the first time.

Whereas other hostels might describe themselves as "funky" or "full of character" HI-Montreal, Auberge de Jeunesse, offers a comfortable stay and a friendly atmosphere. You can't go wrong here, the place was solid and towels were included.

I don't usually like HI hostels but this one is the exception. With activities to do everynight and a perfect location close to some great bars it's a perfect way to experience montreal.

We had a great stay. The private room almost felt like a hotel with ensuite bathroom, pictures, plant and a TV in the room. The staff were very helpful and friendly. excellent quality for the our money.

Friendly staff, clean room with towels and sheets provided (doesn't it suck when you have to pay extra to rent those?), and the best breakfast I've ever had in a hostel (reasonably priced too) made this a great experience. I would definitely book here again if I were to return to Montreal!
