If I am being picky, there could have been more common toilets on my floor. Hard to find negatives, though!

From when I walked in to when I left, I enjoyed my stay there. The hostel was in a nice location, right on the Village and easy to get to the subway, bus stops, coffee shops, restaurants, etc. I stayed in a 12-person dorm and was worried it would be too crowded, but it's a well utilized setup where you only really see 4-6 beds at a time. Privacy curtains and lots of shelf space make it easy to bunker up.

Although the hostel is located in downtown Montreal and within a 5-10 minute walk to the metro/subway, the neighborhood is a bit sketchy with a lot of homeless people. It is however, a convenient location with lots of cafes and restaurants but as a woman, I am not sure I would feel safe walking by myself at night. No issues with safety during the day! The person who checked us in was friendly and accommodating. He allowed us to check in early which was very kind of him. The toiletries provided were a bit skimpy. Each person was given a bag containing a bath and hand towel, a very small bar of soap and one tiny bottle of shampoo. This would be sufficient if you’re staying at the hostel but if you book the more expensive private suite, more toiletries should be made available. The room also did not come with a hair dryer, you had to borrow one at the reception. I can understand how hair dryer theft may be prevalent in the hostel, but it should be included in the private suites. Hotel parking is very limited so we had to park at another garage about an 8 minute walk from the hotel. This is not a problem but the hotel failed to inform us that we needed to pay for our parking with a credit before exiting the garage because the entry door is only accessible for those who pay in advance with a credit card. Many of us found ourselves standing anxiously in front of the garage bay doors, waiting for a car to go in or out because this was the only way we could get back into the garage. But on the brighter side, it was a pretty secure place to park your car overnight for a few days.

We reserved the double king private suite with a kitchenette. It was very spacious, clean, modern and comfortable. The kitchenette is equipped with almost everything that you need except a proper coffee maker. They had a pod coffee machine but only provided espresso/cappuccino pods that required milk in order for it to work. Unfortunately, they didn’t leave any milk in the fridge. We had to purchase coffee every morning. The beds were extremely comfortable and we all slept well. The private suites are located in a quiet, second building with easy access to a lovely rooftop deck/patio with hot tubs. The M Montreal is a very clean hostel/hotel with lots of amenities on site; but it is on the pricey side. It could be an amazing destination if they could tweak a few things.

The wifi didn't seem to work too well on the rooftop patio, which is a shame.

Very clean facilities, spacious beds in the shared room. Excellent amenities, too.

Jaccuzi's aren't available some mornings due to cleaning, also would be good if they can include mini locks and soap, shampoo for hostels. Paid breakfast at cafeteria isn't the healthiest with tons of sugar :)

Great clean facilities, friendly and helpful staff, good travellers, plenty of restrooms/showers, laundry available , jacuzzi on rooftops is an amazing addition

Property can be loud at times after 11pm plus the location is full of homeless and drug addicts. But it’s close to berri uqam and pretty much on Sainte Catherine.

Price and cool vibe

The price was more than I expected to pay, unfortunately, especially with no food included ($180 USD per night)

Modern amenities, comfortable beds, convenient location, very helpful and friendly staff!

An extra cost for safeguarding that I did not understand. It was confirmed to be refundable. I just wrote to the receptionists enquiring about further clarification.

As a female guest with a specific religious background and ethics, I felt overwhelmed. The bathroom was in the room I did not have to queue or mix with males.

Mostly, the bedroom’s door are quite heavy, there is no way you can silently leave. If your roommates are not considerate (aka slamming the door between 4-5 am) The lockers door do make a strident noise too.

The location is great, Berri Uqam, is a great spot to move around the city easily. The cleanliness of the room & bathroom everyday. That’s really positive. The lobby is quite nice & the staff is super friendly, polite & smiling.

The description says soundproof rooms, which is a bit of an exaggeration- we could hear other guests in the hall. People above us (on the roof as we were on the 4th floor) and some traffic. Still the curfew seemed to be followed so there were no loud guests late night. And so it was standard hotel noise. The listing also says free coffee and tea in the lobby- which is no longer offered as they have a cafe to purchase from. A large cafe americano was $5. I asked for a refill of the coffee cartridges for the instant coffee machine in our room but was told you only get 2 regular and 2 decaf every 3 days if you want more you have to pay for them. What I was paying for the room I wasn’t going to pay for a instant coffee cup. Minor annoyances-but both could be resolved by updating the listing.

What a treat to find this place. I got the king bed suite for me and my daughter for a long weekend - space we never would have found in a traditional hotel room. Having the sofa, kitchen etc was great. We loved the hot tub on the roof too!

The homeless people around, but not a big deal.

A really good experience, confortable spaces, aesthetic, kindness from staff, close to the metro and the bus station.

Hostel location. Kitchen. Rooms spotlessly clean. Front desk helpful. On my departure early morning Nicolas at front desk assisted me a lot which I appreciated Very much. Thanks!

A lamp fell down during the night, so I switched the bed. Upper shelf was really uncomfortable. You have much less space above, and the ladder is not ergonomic - the upper stair is too far above, and the lower as well. The toilet paper is hard to use. To access your room, you have to go through a building, then again through a street - why couldn't you open the exit gate for entrance? The kitchen lacks salt, sugar and oil - the basics the people traveling do not usually have.

A friendly staff, a very cosy bed (lower shelf), clean and warm, comfortable and clean kitchen. It is quiet in the night. A really great stay for its price. The hostel has its own identity.

I like the security of the ID cards and parking so that I knew myself and my car were safe.

Blankets were a little thin.

Clean bed space. Modern looking rooms. Big beanbag couch to sit on. Ample lounge space on the first floor. Huge storage space underneath the bed. Location is ideal and very close to the metro.
