    It was hard going up and down the stairs with my luggage’s. It’s nice that there was an AC in the room but it got a little too cold. No curtains on the beds.

    Perfect location! In the heart of old Montreal, close to lots of restaurants and stores. No need for transit transportation, you can do everything by foot. The hostel is clean and organized. Good size lockers.

    Walls were so thin so I heard a lot of noise in the hallway - didn’t help my bed was right next to the door. Bedsheets(no blanket ) were so thin. Would have been better to have a message that we had to remove our shoes after entrance, I would have gladly brought my own house slippers.

    No keys, location! , very large locker so you can store carry on, staff, detailed messages on how to prepare

    Due to my ethics and religious background I did not like to mix with other genders in the bathroom . I trust Alt could do better!

    Staff are friendly, welcoming and sociable. Innocent young people!

    The structure of the room allows the strong light whenever people open door. It keeps interrupting falling a sleep.

    Toilet and bathroom are downstairs and it’s very inconvenient. I felt bed curtains would make my stay more comfortable. Towels are not included as you have to pay $2.

    Very good location, main street in old town. All bars and restaurants are at this street.

    While the block of rooms I was in had a lock and access code, the individual room did not. So had anyone from the neighboring (mixed-gender) rooms wanted to come into my (all-female) room, they could have.

    The location was great, the lounge was comfy, and they had coffee available in the morning. The bathrooms were clean and usually available. The staff were helpful and gave reminders to take the sheets off the bed, etc.

    It’s too expensive for a 10 bed dorm and the lockers were almost too small for my small backpack, however it felt relatively safe. Also, it would be better if the beds had little privacy curtains though I tucked my sheet into the bed above to create a curtain.

    Fantastic location, very cosy, cabin-like vibe, felt safe and attracted nice, mature and respectful travellers, comfortable bed, great little communal space and kitchen, perfect bathroom/ shower/ washing machine facilities, nice enough staff 🙂

    The kitchen was somewhat small and old, not as clean and equipped as it could be.

    Amazing location. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean, bed linen and covers were also very clean. The bed was comfortable. We joined a group for drinks, hosted by one of the hostel managers, in the next door bar and had a great time!

    The bed that I was given was close to ceiling which is totally fine but there was a big part of the ceiling that each time I try to sit I hit my head to it and it hurt so badly. I still have headache. I couldn't sit straight as it was in the middle of my bed. I was in room 308 BTW. But other than that everything was perfect

    The location was amazing, the hostel itself was very clean and the staff were friendly.

    Other than main staff cleaning and some other positions were workawayers of course it is not bad but cleaning is not good enough. Security is one of the worst thing. There is no key for rooms so whoever want s to come to your room anytime. That is why someone stole my airpods. That is some stranger will sleep in couch or people from other rooms can come and sleep in your room if they are unhappy in their own room. I travelled many different countries and states hostels before but this one one of the worst in somr points.

    Local staff and of course location is amazing but they are not enough. Overall this hostel is not good enough. I stayed there very long time than I expected and avarage stays for a hostel, it is aroud 21 days. Location is amazing, really, it is center of old town and easy to go anywhere in Montreal.
