83%Le Gite du Plateau Mont-Royal

Just needed a place to crash for one night, so didn't really get a big "hostel" experience. But staff was GREAT about helping me find something to do on a cold Sunday night in off-season. People were friendly, good locale, pretty average hostel!

This hostel was wonderful! It was in an amazing location and it was clean and bright. The staff was amazingly helpful and didn't mind all the questions we asked. Parking was difficult but it's a city. Would love to stay here again!

very nice staff and inviting common room. unfortunately our room was located in the basement with a very small window and a super tiny bathroom.

Not far from most things. Clean. Beds a little rickety though. Would return.

C'est dommage que la cuisine ferme à 20h, et que l'on puisse plus aller au salon après 23h. Sinon le personnel est très sympathique!

Has an 11pm curfew and you can't hang out in the lobby after that. Kinda lame for meeting people. But it is lovely looking. A little warm when I was there, but I doubt that is usually a problem. breakfast is toast and jelly, but what do you expect?

Great hostel. All the staff (but one) were consistently friendly, knowledgeable and really flexible. They put up with us changing our booking around without any issues. We stayed in two different private rooms both of which were very clean, spacious and nicely laid out. There was a laptop stolen... more Great hostel.

There was a laptop stolen during our stay but apparently it had been left unprotected in a dorm, rather than in the safes provided. The reception is not really open 24 hours so let them know if you're arriving after 11.close

Great location. Breakfast is just toast, jam, cream cheese and peanut butter, orange slices, coffee and tea. No ladders to get up to the top bunk.

I would like a better breakfast choice, like cereal, milk, juice instead of just bread and a coffee. A real toaster would be appreciated...

Great little hostel, although it was surprisingly empty while I was there. Friendly staff, hot showers, nice breakfast and such a good location for the jazz fest. My only complaint would be that the internet is a little pricey. Otherwise, Merci! I had a lovely time.

Very clean, and in a good location. Breakfast is very minimal (coffee and toast). Other negatives: bathrooms have no soap so it must be difficult to keep doorknobs, etc. clean, and guests (at least in basement rooms) are responsible for locking the door every time they come in or out.

A few blocks away from St. Catherine's St. which was where the nightlife was. Friendly staff, they accept both CAD & USD as currency. The ensuite was nice. Plenty of space, nice shower, small toilet room, large bunk bed, etc. Great deal for the price.

We were two people in a twin private room. No complaints whatsoever: extremely friendly and helpful staff, cool common room, proper breakfast included, five-ten minute walk from the centre of Montreal.

While the city's street parking regulations were a bit of a hassle, our stay at the hostel was entirely pleasant. I would most definitely return should I be in Montreal again. Superb location.

If you drive and need to park your car on street parking can be difficult; however if you are an early riser or don't mind to walk a few blocks in the direction of Ave Mont Royal it is no problem. One thing our window was glued shut and the room had a bit of an oder, an open window would have...

The place was to cold and the window in which our beds were under let in cold air, we had the extra blankets in our room up against the window to try and stop the draft. It also took running the basin tap or shower tap 15 minutes on hot for the water to get hot. what a waste of water
