This was the first hostel I've ever been to, and I mostly enjoyed my stay.
Positives:
+ It is situated in the Latin Quarter and on the border of the Gay Village, making it a great place to be. It is two blocks from one of Montreal's main subway stations, Berri-UQAM.
+ Staff members are super friendly and helpful.
+ There are lots of activities here if you are alone or want to make friends.
+ Relatively quiet.
Negatives:
- Breakfast is really bad, especially the coffee and the juice
- My private bedroom and bath had a half of a wall that separated the bathroom from the bedroom. Luckily I was with my girlfriend, so I didn't encounter too many privacy issues. If had gone with a friend, I would've been very uncomfortable. There was no advanced warning that this was a set up of the room.
All in all, I would recommend stay here over picking any other expensive place located on the same block.
