"5"^^ . "2"^^ . "This was definitely one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at, and I've stayed at quite a few during my backpacking trip across Europe. I found this place on HostelWorld, and it actually had the highest hostel rating in North America. I came with high expectations, and it didn't disappoint. \n\nThe receptionists were extremely friendly and approachable, and they actually make an effort to remember your name! They are also great when it comes to recommendations for things to see and do in the city.\n\nThe rooms and beds were super clean - on the same level of cleanliness as hotels, I would say. The cleaning staff does a great job cleaning everything in the morning, and they give you fresh towels every day as well (included in the price). \n\nThere is a pretty cool bar in the basement of the hostel, with different events every day of the week (live music, stand-up comedy, happy hour, etc.). The drinks were super cheap on the Friday happy hour ($2 for a pint!). \n\nThe place still has a \"Manoir des Alpes\" sign out front, but it's actually called \"M Montreal\" now. I think they changed ownership and renovated the place a year or two ago, but never bothered to remove the huge sign."^^ . "1"^^ . . . "2013-03-25T00:00:00"^^ . . "1"^^ .
