Hostelling International Montreal

Looking cheap

Stayed there a few nights for my first stay in Montreal, and i was disappointed. The place is very small. I had a private room and i paid 60$ a night ... not very cheap if you ask me ... It's a pretty old building, it's well located but parking can be tricky (especially when you dont know anything about parking in Montreal). I wont go there again ... but i live in Montreal now ...

The Best of Montreal's youth hostels!

Well, I haven't stayed here myself, but heard a lot of good about it. People seem to enjoy the general atmosphere. So, for a cheap place to stay, downtown, this would be a good choice.
It has been awarded the Ulysses Prize in the 'Establishment' category, offering accommodation between 50 and 149 rooms at the Gala of the "Grands Prix du Tourisme Québécois 2005". So you can feel safe in your choice, and sleep on both ears. (Pun intended.)

You can reserve a private room if you wish to.

THE place to stay for low budget travellers

I love this place, it is perfect to meet new great people: the travellers passing by, roomates for a night or two, and all the people working there!! :-)
They have a really cool kitchen, showers in each room, and a lot activities organized, at least when the sun is shining or the night not too cold :-)
For the travellers, special hello to Camille and Wally from Australia, John (wherever you are now :-) ) and Lauren from England and Nathalie from Israel...
For the staff members, hello to Drejan (not sure of the name?) and Chris. Chris, hey man your French is sooooo much better than my English :-):-):-)

Really cool place!

Unique Quality: One thing nice, it is easily accessible, with a metro station just 1 street away (metro Lucien L'allier), and also not far from the nightlife animations, two blocks away from Ste Catherine Avenue...
A little bit far from St Denis Boulevard (where all the student bars are) by feet (+/- 25min) but there is the metro...and the taxi if you dare :-)

• Opinion of Price: less expensive than average

Hi in Montreal

Auberge de Montreal - I stayed at the HI hostel in Montreal, and it was a nice place. Many rooms, big kitchen, good staff, near downtown. I recommend it. Downtown Montreal is within easy walking distance...as are Sainte Catherine and Mount Royal. There are also some Metro stops nearby which will whisk you off to tourist spots. One problem was that grocery stores were a bit too far away...so if cooking for yourself, buy most of your groceries at once instead of having to walk back and forth all the time.

Unique Quality: kitchen, cafe, dining area, tv room, pub crawls, internet access, etc....

HI Auberge de Montreal

Approximately $18 Canadian for Hostelling International members.

Unique Quality: This hostel used to be a 3-star hotel. Most (all?) of the rooms have in-room bathrooms. My room even had air-conditioning. If you want a single sex dorm be sure to specify this when booking.
