I'm super impressed.
At first I was scared as hell , listen I'm from jersey we don't have hostels. The only hostels I've ever heard abut were in movies , and those are scary! So when my mom told us we were staying here I thought she was out of her mind. But FEAR NOT , Montreal Central is a cool little hostel/hotel. And for what you get you can NOT beat their price point.
The location is super ideal for anyone who likes to be close to the downtown area and only a block away from the metro. You see people come and go everyday here , everyone is friendly. They even have activities everyday of week. Some of them are free and some of them are paid. The staff was so nice and helpful , they gave us so much advice on where to eat like a local where to go clubbing etc etc.
Now with all good comes bad .. unfortunately.
my only qualms about the place is that they should make the rooms as nice as the lobby and downstairs area. The vents in the air condition units you can tell have not been cleaned in years. It leaves the room stink. My particular room was shared with 3 other girls and their feet stink , so because the room was so small all you smell is stink feet. There was hair every where , which led me to believe that these hoes was sleeping in my bed when I wasn't there. But none of my property was stolen thankfully. I left my computer in the room everyday. I had no lock on my locker and nothing was ever out of place. I did carry my wallet and passport around with me everywhere I never let that out of my sight. I suggest you don't either. I did bring my own sheets and blankets and pillows along with me and was glad I did. The sheets were super basic the pillow was as flat as a piece of trident gum. Again this is not the Marriott so don't expect anything luxurious. But other than that I had a blast and I will most certainly stay here again and again.
I do have a best kept secret about this place but I won't tell it ! *sorry not sorry* #selfish
