M Montreal - Montreal, Quebec

On a business trip or for pleasure, I highly recommend M montreal for your visit. Big shout out to Emma in the lobby and diarmuid (arguably the 2 best in town) to assist with your visit. 👌 👍

On renewing my reservation, Vaina and Ornella were there to assist, and were both wonderful. Merci.

Incredibly accommodating, bar with live music down stairs, clean rooms and spacious with plenty of space for work or play. Go solo, or bring the family, they have something for everyone. Short walk to all of the best attractions. Very LGBTQ+ friendly. ❤️

Spent 3 nights here as a solo female traveler and had a good experience. Customer service was so welcoming and kind, with attention to detail for any question I had. I didn’t get the chance to participate in the extracurricular fun such as a the bar or rooftop, but other guests seemed to love it. The women’s 6-bed room I stayed in was presented as very clean, and I loved the added locker and shelf space for each guest bunk.

The one exception to my stay is that a guest in one of my shared rooms had left some food on the floor (bag of chips and other items in a grocery bag), immediately next to my lower level bunk. I woke up in the middle of the night to rodents eating their way through the bag, I didn’t see them as I had my bunk curtain closed, but you could plain as day hear the scurries, squeaks, and rustle of the grocery bag. By the time I woke up, the guest had left with their bags so it was near impossible to verify this. As a side note, I was staying in the older side of the hostel, so the building walls probably had tunnels of little rodents. This was only one of the nights, but still concerning as I was the lower level bunk and god forbid I woke up with a critter on my bed.

The price was worth it for a solo traveler per night, but any more than 2 traveling guests you may as well get a hotel. Parking not being included hiked up the price significantly, but it’s the price to pay for city parking in a small neighborhood.

Overall, would stay again if it came down to me visiting solo, but I would request a spot in the newer building to avoid any old building resident critters.

Very impressed with this hostel. Affordable. Upgraded amenities. Decent location. Quiet and safe. Questionable neighborhood with some drug addicts visible during daylight hours. I would definitely come back here again. Ian at checkout and Yiota at check in were really great. Top 1% hostel!

This place is good an bad. It seems like they are very ready to charge you extra for just about anything. To be fair, I understand theft. But if you are too loud, too late, they charge you $200, check out late they charge you the room fee, accidentally damage something and it is $200, it is almost kind of scary to agree to stay here and sign the waiver.
Parking is not included unless you specifically reserve it, and if you don't reserve it, it is $35. It is a very busy area so if you have a vehicle, be sure to reserve parking if you can find it on their website. I am not sure if the charge is per day or not, as we only stayed one night.
Breakfast is not included and is an extra $10.
I took a picture of the list of "warnings".
We did enjoy the rooftop hot tub, but the tubs are getting old and have been damaged so they work okay. In the tub we used, there only seemed to be jets on one seat and they were kind of weak. So it was nice but don't expect amazing. The elevator carpet was extremely dirty which was a bit gross but the rest of the floors weren't too bad.

We were also only given one large towel in our room, and there are no towels near the hot tubs, so we had to use our room towels as hot tub towels also and that seems unfair. We asked about the tubs on check in and we're not offered additional towels, so I guess you just have to deal with it.

Our room was very nice and clean and we stayed in a private room so I cannot comment on dorms or shared areas.

I've been coming to this hostel for more than 2 years now, everytime I head down to Montreal, it's my go-to stay.
Pros:
The rooms are clean and the best quality you'll find in a hostel in Eastern Canada.
The staff are always super nice, accommodating and welcoming (especially Emma, Ornella, Sidric, Ian & Nicolas, and not forgetting all the previous staff that have been here!). The bed pricing is affordable, and the amenities and events are pretty great, mostly free and fun!
Cons:
Don't park here. The parking is nice but it is way overpriced compared to parkings around that will be half the price just 5-10minutes walk from here. Check-in and then head to an alternative parking, the staff will very kindly be able to direct you to one should you ask 🙂 Or just do a quick google Maps search (there are plenty around!). If you don't mind any pricing, then it is convenient to have direct access to your car (~$30-40 before tax per night!)

M Montreal folks, I can’t overstate how exceptionally amazing everyone is at this hostel. All of you truly make it feel like home. The warm personable culture is apparent in the smiles of everyone working there.

One of the best beds/sleeps I’ve had in a hostel. So many great events, and of course, who could forget about the mighty jacuzzi.

It’s a privilege to be your 70k customer.

My original accommodations cancelled on me last minute, and I ended up booking a bed in a shared dorm room here at M Montreal for a solo business trip.

It was awesome!

This was my first experience in shared accommodations (shared dorm with bunk beds), so I was a bit nervous, but the whole experience was fantastic! I honestly found my top bunk bed extremely cozy.

Loved: location, vibes at the hotel, facilities (rooftop, bathrooms, hangout spaces), affordability, inexpensive café breakfast, curtains & cubbies in the bunk bed.

There are a variety of travelers, including many young people, but also older people as well. I enjoyed chatting with various people in the room + common areas about their travels. It’s a lively and youthful vibe overall, but everyone is respectful, felt completely safe, and I slept soundly.

No complaints whatsoever. I will almost definitely stay here again the next time I visit Montreal.

Love this hostel. The dorm beds are sturdy so you won’t feel other people moving. Works great for light sleepers like me. Excellent location too. In my 3 nights stay i never had to take the transit. Staff are amazing and helpful! They provide towel (unlike other hostels) but you have to bring your own lock and toiletries. And i love the rooftop jacuzzis.
