| - Was incredibly disappointed in this hostel after reading all the good reviews on here. I travel often, and have stayed in many hostels across the globe - this is in my bottom 5 of least favorite hostels, for sure.
Positives:
-The WiFi is very good.
- The rooms are kept clean
- good location near the main station
And onto the negatives:
- RUDE staff at the bar in the basement. I went down to order a drink, the two girls behind the bar were on their phones not paying attention. After waiting for 5 minutes, I tried to get the attention of one of the girls, to which she replied very rudely that she was not the bartender. I did not get my drink.
- Break-your-neck slippery staircase leading up to all the rooms.
- The door in my 8-bed mixed dorm bathroom did not close, the door was too large for the frame. I was in a room with seven men, and had to put the little table in the bathroom in front of the door to hold it closed, otherwise it would swing open instantly. They still walked right in on me a few times without apologising (Yes I realise the rude men who do not respect privacy are not the fault of the hostel, but the bathroom doors should close!!)
-To add onto that, there was only one bathroom on my floor (third) that was always occupied, so when I wanted to do my business behind a door that actually closed AND locked, it was full.
- The kitchen is far too small to accommodate the amount of people staying in the hostel. I was not able to cook as it was always completely crowded with people at all times of the day. This caused my vacation to be more expensive as I was forced to buy prepared food.
- There was no hand soap provided in the dorm bathrooms, this terrifies me that people are using the bathroom and touching all kinds of stuff around the room without washing...
- The personal reading lights above my bed did not work. They are tacked into the wall, so you cannot just swap them with another bed. So the bed across from me tried to lend me his, as the cords are long. But his did not work either. The one in the bunk below me also did not work.
- Every day I went to the breakfast that was to run from 7-10, I would go around 9 and there was absolutely nothing left. This was located in the bar area, and surprise surprise, the person who was supposed to be restocking the food was messing around on their phone behind the bar. But I guess this is what to expect from a 'free breakfast'
Is this a bad hostel? No. It is adequate. But considering previous reviews, I was expecting much better from them. I come to Montréal often for both work and pleasure, and prefer the hostel atmosphere as I am young and like to meet other travellers. But I will certainly not be staying here again, and have arranged to stay in another hostel for the remainder of my trip.
