82%Pied-A-Terre

I liked the atmosphere, but it was WAY overbooked, and people were having to pair up or sleep on the floor... then we never recieved any reemburstment or a percentage off the price for such a hassle.

The manager is a very bad organizer. People would be stranded at times due to overbooking. There's only one person managing the whole place, there's a limit to how efficient that can be. There's also only one bathroom for 20+ people.

For example the breakfast was good and the little things were always available when cooking, such as oil. IT was nice to have towels. One bathroom for the whole hostel is an issue however. Another toilet at least is necessary. No system for storing food so you don't know what belongs to who. Very small hostel which forces people to interact which is great. I had an excellent time with the people staying at the hostel.close

We booked beds online for the original hostel, but were assigned beds in the new building 7210. It was a surprise, but not a big deal. Alot of cool people, fun staff, amazing atmosphere. Would come here again. Amazing expirience

Only one bathroom, so if you have to go poos urgently... could be a bit of a problem. Generally a pretty sweet place, although the matresses are airbeds.

The only negative is the air mattresses, but still well worth the price.close

They said they had security lockers and private rooms, which they do not. They wouldn't let me change my reservation and made us pay in cash up front (despite having my credit card info). The guy was a real creep and it was way too crowded. Avoid if you can.

This hostel is one of the best that we have stayed in both Canada and Europe. Jonathon is the best host and is really going places with his new hostel that he is just open. The paint job is awesome and the three bathrooms are great. Would definatly stay here if you are visiting Montreal. A+

Great Location, very close to the train system. Easy enough street parking if you want to avoid paying for it. Friendly staff, very clean. Only one bathroom for a max of around 30 people. No stated house rules makes people forget common courtesy. (turning on the room lights at 1am, long showers...

This was certainly an excellent hostel. It's very much like a cool house with a huge tv and x-box and everything, plus a lot of beds. The barriers between staff and patrons were broken down so that the staff here seem like knowledgeable, helpful friends.

Ils sont situés à 3 minutes de marche du marché de Jean-Talon. La salle de bain dispose de serviettes propres et du savon, des tasses de papier jetables, des sparadraps. Ils ont 2 ordinateurs ou vous pouvez examiner gratuitement votre email ou surfer. L'endroit est très propre et du moment où je suis entré, j'ai été accueilli par un personnel amical. La cuisine est entièrement équipée. C'est excellent pour n'importe qui veut économiser de l'argent pendant son voyage parce que vous pouvez faire cuire vos propres repas. Les lits et les draps sont toujours propres et très hygiéniques. Les matelas sont confortables et offrent un bon sommeil. Cet endroit est vraiment cool, ils ont un centre de divertissement comportant une console Xbox 360 sur un écran plat plasma de 1 mètre de diagonale ou 52 pouces, et ils ont guitar héros III ainsi qu'une collection entière d'autres jeux et films. Concernant la sécurité de cet endroit, ils ont des caméras de sécurité et une pièce réservée aux bagages, Il dispose aussi d'un system de télésurveillances donnant sur chaque entrée et sortie. Chaque autre lacune est compense par la vigilance et la convivialité du personnel. Je recommande Pied-A-Terre Montréal a tous et je reviendrais à coup sur!close

Located at 3 minutes walking distance to the Jean-Talon Market. The bathroom has clean fresh towels and soap, disposable paper cups, band-aids. There are 2 computers that you can check your email for free. The place is very clean and from the moment I walked in I was greeted by friendly helpful staff. The kitchen is shared and fully equipped. Excellent for anyone who wants to save money during travel since you can cook your own meals. The beds and sheets are always clean and the hostel is hygienic. The mattresses are comfortable and offer a great sleep. This place is really cool, they have a gaming and entertainment center featuring an Xbox 360 Elite on 50 inches, Plasma TV and they have Guitar Hero III and a whole bunch of other games and films. They also have movie nights and give out free popcorn. Regarding safety, this place has security cameras that look-out on exit and the staffs makes the rest of my stay feel safe and secure, not to mention that they have a baggage storage facility .close
