I have not stayed at a hostel in years, but this one was immaculate!!! It was like a fantasy hostel with everything you needed for a perfect visit to Montreal! Rooftop patio,bar, laundry room, kitchen, luggage storage,and privacy curtains on every bed. Mr. Nicholas was the star of the show...He gave me a warm friendly greeting,stored my luggage, was very professional, and made sure I had a lower bed.(Foot injury )The only negative thing I was slightly concerned about was the one ensuite for eight people. There were more facilities on the first floor, but when you got to go? Overall, I gave this hostel a ten!!!
