All rooms at Auberge Saintlo Montréal Hostel are air-conditioned, have access to free WiFi and have an en suite bathroom. Bed sheets are provided and a continental breakfast is served every morning free of charge.

Room was great, clean, even had a table in it. As I understood each room has its own bathroom which is great. Staff was very helpful, on check out day I got instructions and all that how to get to the airport which is much appreciated. Easy access to city, everything I needed was nearby. Free breakfast is a nice touch.

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.

    Location! Clean! Clean renovated bathroom. Winter heater works well in our room. Very quite room. If you are looking to stay at the hotel but require a good, safe place near the entertainment district with the budget, this is a good option.
