What is there not to like? In all honesty, I am not a big fan of the common area/kitchen being closd from 23h00, but nothing stops guests from venturing outside and grabbing a snack or a drink (or two, or three...). P.S. Alcohol is tolerated but one must behave appropriately. In other words, nobody will object to a bottle of wine or a few beer cans but no partying or bad behaviour will be tolerated and may result in an ejection. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone as hostels usually have common areas and bedrooms. In a traditional hotel with single rooms, one has the privacy to pretty much do as they please provided nothing gets trashed nor neighbours get bothered or disturbed,

Perhaps the best feature of the hostel is its location. It is, to paraphrase Jimmy, one of the more experienced staff members, quite literally less than 10 minutes' walking distance to a bunch of cool and interesting places and events--north, south, east, and west. I cannot speak of rooms per se as I booked a dormitory bed, but for what it was, my experience was very good. Breakfast is included, which is another PLUS when your breakfast options are limited to fast food restaurants nearby. The only thing I would recommend is to ensure you have a sweater or light jacket in the non-summer months as the common area occasionally gets drafty for lack of an enclosed vestibule. Aside from that, Auberge du Plateau is an EXCELLENT value for any traveler, be they for pleasure, business, or foreign student on a budget.

The common area was a bit draft for lack of a vesitbule. The physical location of the hostel is such that wind tends to concentrate in the downtown core. Aside from two ants I encountered in the hallway, the place was immaculately clean and the staff competent and very polite.

I liked the location, free breakfast, and staff. Granted, the "comfort" of a dormitory with bunkbeds was not a priority consideration, so my stay was well within expectations in that sense. Overall, it was a very good experience and I especially like the staff, honourable mention to Jimmy who was a solid host who proactively greeted guests and guided them accordingly.

The room is small for so many people with suitcases and backpacks. It had no heating or ventilation whatsoever. Although I understand that The Gite du Plateau Mont Royal is situated in an old house from the end of the 19th century., the place was in need of a refurb - everywhere smells quite damp, the walls are badly painted. The room was on the first floor, unfortunately without an elevator, for suitcases.

A few minutes walk takes you to the Sherbrooke metro station. On the orange line you can go to Mont Royal(one stop) or the old town (3 stops). I stayed two nights in a mixed shared room with 8 people, all of them very respectful, attentive, silent and charming. The room was clean and tidy. In the rest of the common areas, toilets, reception, kitchen, restaurant and others, the heating was appreciated and appreciated, given the low temperatures outside. The wifi works perfectly. There are enough toilets and showers for everyone. I never had to wait to get into them, they were right next to the room. The reception staff is very attentive, friendly and efficient, always ready to help with suggestions and directions. The kitchen has a microwave and several refrigerators, to store your own food. It remains open most of the day, to cook, drink coffee in a cosmopolitan and relaxed atmosphere. Very good musical selection always in the background. The filling and lavish free breakfast includes classic pancakes with maple syrup, toast, butter, jams, eggs, yogurt, coffee or tea. I will recommend staying here for a short stay.

The hot water pressure in the washroom takes forever to come.

Breakfast was awesome

Showers I felt could be a bit nicer. They were just ok.

Breakfast was fantastic! They make AMAZING pancakes!! At 10:30 they stop making them. There were eggs, yogurts, fresh oranges, lots of jams, good coffee, teas. Kitchen is great and very spacious with a huge table in the middle on which all the breakfast is served. There are 2 fridges and many FREE items that people leave behind for others to use and share with. Lots of big wooden tables with lots of sitting. Few big and comfy couches near the window, which are great for working or chilling. Huge beautiful window with a view on the street, there are plants around. This common space is very cosy. I am very impressed with it. They also give you a key from the Front Door as well as for your room. So it feels like coming home. Second Floor is very cute and cozy too with a beautiful decor.

The lounge area was not open until 8am which is not ideal for an early riser (especially in the winter).

Clean and quiet

I didn´t like the fact that the upper bunk did not had a rail so when you were sleeping you had to be carefull not to fall.

I liked that my stayed included breakfast and that the shared areas were pretty confortable and cozy. The location was pretty good as well, you could walk to old montreal without a problem, it is 25 minutes away, as well as the Museum of Fine Arts.

There wasn't particularly anything bad at all. If you have been in a hostel before, you know what you're getting. I have never been. My expectations were high until I realized that this isn't a hotel. You get what you reserved for.

Location was amazing. The rooms were nice. Basic hostel type rooms. The staff were very friendly and quite helpful. I drove here from NYC and parking was not fun at all. One of the front desk persons, who was extremely helpful, guided me to the Grand Bibliotheque (Grand Library) underground parking. The price was INSANELY cheap. The hostel also has a nice place to hangout down stairs. Really loved the environment.

Amazing location! Very central.

Sign on door or building didn’t say “Auberge du plateau” so we walked past initially. Curtains were flimsy and didn’t close fully, towels weren’t available at check in (but luckily were later), soap was not included which we weren’t aware of. Building very old and room looked better in photos.

Lovely staff, excellent tasting breakfast pancakes and good central location! Cleanliness was good.

In our 8-bed/bunker room, there was this one guy whom was always stuck to his mattress, and it felt like he was there for centuries as the entire room stank beyond Pepe la Pue! To add to the stench, this dude was coughing and snoring like a donkey. Other than that, you’ld have to wear a gas mask and valiums; just joking! 🙈

Pretty much everything except one issue described below.

You don’t have a say on other travellers.

It’s very close to most attractions in Montreal, at walking distance from grocery (Asian specialty).

This was the first time in a hostel that I felt the bed was not big enough for me (I am 189 cm tall). And I would appreciate non-stop access to the kitchen.

Great location by the bus station, perfect breakfast – homemade pancakes can start the day in the best way!

Room quality so so, comforter wasn't much clean, bed wasn't that comfortable,okish.

Budget friendly, good customer service. Have a lightweight breakfast. Bathrooms clean

No shelves in the showers, lockers in some rooms need cleaning. Stairs to the third floor is uncomfortable and (from my perspective) needs handrail.

Really good location, friendly staff, nice kitchen/common space. Nice vibes.

The building is old, so all rooms and furniture were very old. They look MUCH better in the pictures.

We had a private bedroom. Would be great to have blackout curtains.

Easy check in even if you arrive after the réceptif is closed. Breakfast was good. Pancakes were really good. It’s a good value for the price paid.
