This is an great hostel (as far as hostels go at least). I went to Montreal during college on a very little budget so I decided to stay at a hostel instead of a hotel. This hostel is located in the heart of Montreal, walking distance from everything, and is friendly and clean. I reserved a private room here for a really reasonable rate which had a big bed, a sink, as well as a nice balcony overlooking the street. The first floor has a kitchen and a community room as well as the front desk and the upstairs floors had the rooms and community bathrooms. If you're looking for a hostel in Montreal look no further than Le Gite de Plateau Mont-Royal.
