An old building with a wooden floor ✅✅

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.

Price and location

Stayed in May 2024

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 🙂

Location

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!

OUr part of the hostel was in a separate building. It was pretty quiet and very clean.

Connection ports.

I like the fact that it's closer to the port and the staff were extremely polite.

Every night someone comes late and start chatter Which is not ideal

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.

Beds were not comfortable, but definitely still worth the price. If you're someone that really needs a comfortable bed/pillow, bring your own pillow or blankets because they ones they provide are very small and light. This did not at all detract from my experience though, and I was able to sleep well and fairly comfortably. I definitely still recommend this place!

Our stay was overall great! Extremely easy check in and arrival with staff available 24/7. Great location in Old Montreal with easy walkable access to the rest of Old Montreal and downtown. Very very good price for the area. The hostel boasted plenty of facilities such as a fully equipped kitchen, laundry room, plenty of showers, and bathrooms, all of which were clean and organized. Quiet hours starting at 11:30 which was very reasonable. The bedrooms had plenty of people in them but plenty of space, they definitely didn't feel too crowded. Everyone was very friendly. Overall, it was extremely nice and even still came at a very very low price. I would highly recommend.

I stayed in the second building so no such interaction with people

The location is perfect

Stayed in October 2023

showers in small space not adjustable; procedure for entrance (only able to enter with a code after registering) which caused a problem for a person waiting for a food order and for me arriving from the other Alt Hostel. Would still like to know how the person fell on the stairs and hit his head.

Calm atmosphere, good kitchen facilities, comfortable bed

The room hygiene can be better.

The location and staff are awesome. Nice vibe in there.

Stayed in August 2023

Bed was quite comfortable, but could feel when bunkmate shifted position. I did sleep soundly with my earplugs, though!

Super location & staff! Close to cafés, restaurants and nightlife, if that's what you like. Clean, comfortable and quiet (despite the nightclub in the basement on the Friday night, it was quiet in my dorm room on the upper floor). Good kitchen facilities, free coffee and cooking basics. Great showers! There are 2 Alt hostels almost side-by-side where I stayed across from Marché Bonsecours; a 3rd one on St-Pierre, about a 15min walk west. Complimentary Halloween dinner was fun, got to meet several interesting people, Greg was a great host! Neighbourhood street parking was free 9pm-9am, but shortens to 11pm-8am on Nov 16, and pay VERY careful attention to signs with exclusion periods, you may need to check more than 1 signpost. Bring your towel, and a light blanket if you need one (or use your towel). Would definitely stay again!
