Alt Hostel

Quite possible the worst hostel I've staid in. Pros: Location maybe, although it's overrated; Cons: Everything else: Horrible cheap rubber mattress, extremely noisy hostel- only got 4-5 hours of sleep all night from pounding and random noises, 20 people packed like sardines in triple bunks so low you cannot sit on the side of your bunk to get dressed, shared bunk curtain among all 3 people ensure no privacy for anyone, parking extremely limited so you cannot count on it (alternative is 5 minutes away paid parking); you have to take your shoes off at the entrance which is not ideal for using the bathrooms with urine on the floors, take stairs to reach the bathrooms/showers, bunk rooms immediately outside the reception and kitchen guarantee constant noise, no chairs you can sit on to get changed in the room, low class/semi-homeless type guests, some of which are quite inconsiderate. You cannot talk to them on the phone, all communication is through messages which is odd and a hassle. I cannot recommend this hostel -it's getting by on its location and fails to provider a good value even at its extremely low price point.

Perfect for those looking for a quiet place to get a good night's sleep while traveling on a budget.

Good overall for a hostel but staff not very friendly

Ok

Great location for staying in Old-Montreal.
