Nice concept, good location for Montreal. Friendly service. The room was basic but totally fine and clean. Included breakfast was good, except for everyone coming at one time - suggestion: expand breakfast times. 08:00 is quite late.

The staff was friendly and helpful and no doubt the place is great if you are young, arrive in the summer and meet lots of other young people whom you can hang out with on the terrasse and in other places at the hostel itself. However, as an older traveller who has experienced what nice places you can find in Montreal through AirBnb at a reasonable price and in very nice neighborhoods, I was underwhelmed by the VERY basic accommodation we paid almost 200 canadian dollars for in an adjacent basement. The hostel has a good location, but I would recommend that you consider a place a little further away from the centre, as the metro system is very effective. You will get so much more value for money.

Submerge du Plateau is a great place to stay for backpackers. The morning breakfast there is great where you'll get to meet new people!

General disliked because of the old squeaky beds and smelly rooms. Plugs never stay in. Needs a reno. Staff lovely. Very good location. Bathrooms fine. Cereal at breakfast would be nice

The staff are beyond friendly and helpful. I booked through booking.com but had to cancel my reservation suddenly. They were very professional and helpful even though I called them a thousand times! Can’t wait to stay here in the future.

You get what you pay for, but that’s not a complaint! I was looking for affordable accommodations in montreal & came across this hostel. it was my first time staying in a hostel, so I was quite nervous. it can be overwhelming, noisy, and a little tight on space but nothing I didn’t plan for. I would 100% stay here again. my only complaints are the parking (but you’re in the middle of the city so it’s expected) & the breakfast is very specific so for me with a gluten allergy I had to eat elsewhere but for the price its awesome they offer any sort of breakfast, so i’m not upset it didn’t work out for me!

It is a really good place to stay if you want to see all downtown Montreal. People here is kind and courteous! If you are new in the city or need help finding activities they are gentle enough to guide you through maps and suggestions to spend your time in Montreal. Plus, they have a cozy rooftop where you can see all the city, and by night, it's gorgeous!

Walking distance to the metro. The English guy making the pan cakes was giving a good vibe. Diverse crowd and nice common area. The minor downside is the suites outside the main entrance and bit dark in the basement

There were two people sleeping in one bed. They were so noisy at night and seemed drunk they were talking to each other until over 3:30am while everybody else was sleeping. I know their names because they called each other so many times :) One person seemed to not have a key and the other person opened the door for her. I recommend this place if you have a friend staying there- then you can spend the night there for free :) and if you like noises at night 👍 The beds are uncomfortable, dated, and have no lift to carry luggage. Very barrier-filled place. Few and tiny bathrooms. Location also not good. Horrible in every way.

Super clean, walking distance to old Montreal, Mont Royal and eclectic neighborhoods. Lovely breakfast served with a friendly atmosphere - just what you need to have when away from home! Travelling mom with 2 teenagers - safe location - friendly staff. All info available.

I don’t usually write reviews but this place deserves to describe how awesome it is from the staff, breakfast and even the guests. Super friendly people, delicious breakfast and nice concept. It gives a home vibe and living with friends LOVE IT!. Recommended 🙌🏼

Great value in Montreal. The staff were very friendly. From the very beginning, Carl made an incredible effort to make my stay in Montreal great. He’s a natural language teacher too. He put in great effort to encourage guests to practice their french. Very patient and caring. For $40 a night you receive $400 in language lessons if you are willing to try. Michelle was also very helpful. The private rooms are great value for the money. The dormitories are also incredible value, however it’s important to note that if you stay in a dorm, there is nowhere public to work or take a phone call after 11pm. This is not an issue with a private room as even the most basic ones have a desk. The breakfast is INCREDIBLE value. Really, not sure how they are able to provide this for $40 a night dorm bookings, unbelievably generous. Note that while this is a certified “auberge de jeunesse” there are a lot of seniors and families with small children, so it might not have the youth hostel vibe you are expecting. I would stay here again, especially in a private room. They are NICE.

amazing place! they have towels, complimentary breakfast and clean water refill. the light on the 3rd floor was out though when we got there on the first day so we had to use flashlights to walk up the stairs but overall, really great place. would stay here again.

The rooms are clean and the staff are great. The building is old the shower rooms are outside the rooms and the lockers are small and I there is no light near the lockers so it’s hard to see. The kitchen is good. There is no quiet place to work, if someone needs to work remotely.

Great place to stay. I spent 6 nights here and felt very welcome. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is delicious and the whole place was super clean. I was a solo traveller and it was easy to connect with other people in the common area. The location is perfect: You can walk everywhere. Very close to many bars and restaurants in the area of Plateau. You can also walk to downtown and old Montréal or take the metro which is a 5 min walk away. I would definitely stay here again next time.

Fantastic staff, always there to help and very friendly. Dorms were as clean as expected, and as a bonus our room had a balcony with a nice view. Great pancakes too!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hostel is cute and homey. The shower is inconvenient without a sink and bench or chair to put stuff on. Some soap would have been helpful. Sink in the toilet was clogged. The only other sink on the floor was in the room and I didn't use it to avoid waking roommates up at night. I went to a different floor to brush my teeth. The breakfast was great.

Very friendly hostel, the staff are very attentive and informative. The dorms are good with comfortable beds and even a small balcony in my room, which is very pleasant! The showers and toilets on the landing are clean. The kitchen is large and perfectly functional, with a big plus for the free food cupboard to avoid waste! Very good breakfast too (thanks for the pancakes!). And then the perfection of this inn remains its terrace with lots of flowers, sofas, tables to spend convivial moments or to work, I highly recommend it!

Friendly staff, amazing breakfast, clean and quiet rooms. I will stay there everytime I am in Montréal.

Fantastic clean inn in an old building. Name of the inn on the door is confusing though. Reservation sites call it Auberge du Plateau whereas there is no such sign on the building door. There is a small sign that says Gite du Plateau on the door. That is all. Need to put a large sign saying Auberge du Plateau near the door. Has an ambiance of a Youth Hostel. Very friendly staff. Rooms upgraded with new air conditioning. Breakfast included. Note however that there is no elevator so handicapped people will have a hard time. Toiletries are not provided so one has to bring own soap and shampoo. Towels and bed sheets are provided. Expedia says toothpaste provided but you have to buy it. Room 210 where we stayed does not have enough hot water pressure in the shower. Cold water pressure is enormous. So unless the water is opened only a trickle, only a cold water shower can be taken. There is virtually no free parking in the area. Pay and park on the street or in the BANQ parking lot which allows in/out privileges during the time paid for.

Wonderful area of Montreal, not far from the train station, so you can get anywhere within a reasonable time frame. The staff are all very friendly and they let me put my road bike in their private balcony, where it was kept safe for three nights. The people I met there were great too, it felt like a melting pot from all over the world. All for what I thought was a reasonable price, considering the beds and breakfast (with hot pancakes) weren't shabby either.

Great place to crash, great crowd, good breakfast in the morning and amazing location. Staff were all inclusive and we never felt uncomfortable here....building is classic and historical but extremely well maintained...more then enough power outlets on the beds, bathrooms were a touch conjested but overall a 5☆ experience well done team.

Speechless. 1. They made it mandatory to cover the bed with sheet, otherwise punishment of 50 dollars per day. They didn't tell me when I checked in, so I didn't know the rule existed at all. I thought it was optional like other hostels. 2. Kitchen locked after 9pm, if you just want to access the fridge and take a drink, no way. No breakfast until 8am. 3. Two back doors are opened by staff from time to time(open for at least 2 minutes on average), cold air directly goes in, a bit cold sitting in the lounge. 4. No matter how careful you are, walking on the wooden floor always makes noise. 5. For the gentleman who prepares breakfast for guests, could you whistle less often and not too loud? You are very friendly and willing to help, I saw that. Sometimes your whistling is a bit high-pitched. 6. Wi-fi not impressive, about 11 Mbps and many people use it simultaneously. 7. This is not the fault of this hostel, my room was 207 with 8 beds, at least 2 people did not take a shower for at least 1 day(very likely did not change clothes as well), the smell was amazing and unforgettable. Imagine sleeping in the same room with those people. They already paid for it but decided not to use the shower(there are plenty of rooms for shower) to keep themselves clean? I never know. I only booked for 3 nights, so not the worst.

Service here is beyond top quality. Breakfast is great and there's an excellent sense of community all around!! Rooms were also super comfy!!

I’ve stayed there three times during different seasons. I trust this place. Clean. Good breakfast and very convenient (close to main city attractions)

I stayed in a semi-basement twin room with private bathroom for a few nights and had a great experience. The staff and other guests were friendly, the room was clean and WARM (which was a huge plus for me as I'm used to a way milder winter than what Montréal has going on in February), no issues with water pressure or temperature. Really enjoyed the pancake breakfast in the lounge (there were also hard-boiled eggs, yogurt, toast, orange slices, plus coffee and tea)! The room I stayed in had a separate entrance from the main building - you had to go down the street a bit and then the door was in an alley (right on the corner, though, so you didn't actually have to go down the alley at all), which opened into a foyer shared by three private rooms. The room had a exposed concrete floor which was awkward and the mattresses were on the hard side, but these are minor complaints and for the price I'd gladly take these little things over more serious problems. The only thing that was actually off-putting to me was that I could hear conversations from the next room, and during my first night, there was a lot of weird banging/door slamming that I hope was just guests coming and going, but I have no idea why it was so aggressive. The conversation thing would probably be a non-issue for most people - I'm just really sensitive to noise - but these people were keeping their volume at a normal level and kept quiet at night, it was only during the day that I could hear them. If I were visiting Montréal again and needed a place in this area, I would for sure choose this place again because the vibe was very pleasant, the accommodations were functional and comfortable enough considering I wasn't spending a ton of time in the room, and despite the night noises, I had the sense that the place was "legit".

Not as advertised. Our window had been left open prior to our arrival, and it had no screen so our room was full of grit and dust. Sheets were questionable and the bed was out of the 19th-century. Staff were lovely and location is near a lot of museums and Mont Royal. Maybe there are better rooms, but this place needs a renovation asap

Location: 10/10 Staff: 10/10 Free breakfast: 10/10 Cleanliness: 10/10 Bed/sheet comfort: 10/10 Everything you would want in a youth hostel and then some. Highly recommend.

Staff was awesome. Met some really nice people as well. Great vibe, location and delicious breakfast. Pancakes were 100/10

We stayed in a private double twin room and the entrance was in a separate door from the main shared space. Service was very friendly and helpful. Rate for the night was very affordable. Breakfast was limited but a nice inclusion. The place was clean, and the common space seemed like a cool spot to hang out. There was no shampoo or soap for the shower in our room so I'd recommend bringing that along with you. As well, the included blankets were a bit thin so you may want to bring an extra blanket or sweater on colder nights.

Great time staying there, bed could be more comfortable but it's fine while travelling, my overall stay was great. Definitely would recommend if come to Montreal

I stayed there for 14 days. The current staff is very friendly and helpful. They can speak several languages: Chinese, English, French and Spanish. The hostel has a nice common room and terrace. It's very well situated, a short walk from old Montreal, two metro stations and the 747 bus to the airport. While in the website they have opening and closing times, they have another number at the door you can call in case you get stuck out of the hostel past midnight without a key.

Great location, and within walking distance of many interesting places. The ambiance is relaxed and people attending and visiting are all friendly, and respect the rules of the place. The room I had was very clean, and had no smell. The sheets were very soft, but I'm glad that I brought my own pillow as I would not have slept well with the one provided. There is also a full equipped kitchen where we can do some cooking whenever we want, as long as we do our own cleaning. I'd definitely come back.

This was my first time staying in a hostel and I like it. They had all the basic necessities (sheets & towel) and the front desk staff was extremely helpful. The breakfast was decent (for hostel) too. If you're considering hostel in Montreal I would definitely recommend it.

Best hostel! I was here just for one night and it's been a week now. Lovely team, well place, I feel at home. The place to be for few days in Montreal! (even better with friends, but you can meet poeple in the comfy shared dining room, listening at the guitar placed in the corner if someone is in the mood)

Lovely cozy place to stay in Montreal for few nights. The staff are very friendly, the guy from Paris on the reception was very welcoming. The other staff who made us the pancakes was very friendly. They made you feel at home. Very sweet people! Thank you for the amazing experience, you made it comfortable.

The pancake for the breakfast was amazing!! That was the best pancake I have ever had! I will definitely come again!

Amazing experience staying there. I would really recommend this place. Nice and quiet. They have the best breakfast. I swear.

great people working there the only thing ia doors need 2 hands to open
