Auberge PVT Hostel, hotel in Montréal

Set in Montréal and within 2.3 km of Berri Uqam Metro Station, Auberge PVT Hostel has a terrace, allergy-free rooms, and free WiFi throughout the property.

PVT hostel was friendly and welcoming: it felt like a comfortable home and a great place to land for a first experience in Montreal. I was expecting a kinda clinical place, but it was like a house! Cozy colorful space with a garden (and a sweet cat). Both Jonathan and Farhad were having lunch when I arrived, and immediately offered some apple pie and a short tour. I travel alone and felt safe/comfortable right away. The space was clean and the kitchen is fully equipped to cook in (oven, microwave, stove, coffee maker, blenders and on). Coffee and breakfast was out early every morning, and Jonathan was up with me at 5am for coffee on the last day, driving someone from the airport: dedicated guy who puts out for guests. If you're expecting a hotel, go find and pay for a hotel, but if you want a solid, clean, friendly experience hit up PVT hostel. Bonus: make sure to chat with Jonathan if you like electronic music. Merci beaucoup!

Parc Avenue Hostel, hotel in Montréal

Located in Montréal and within 2.8 km of Percival Molson Memorial Stadium, Parc Avenue Hostel features a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi.

This location boasts higher-end hotel suites/lofts and bargain dorm facilities for budget-conscious travellers. Additionally, the hotel is located in an iconic Montreal neighbourhood; namely, the Mile End district. It is chockful of shops, restaurants, cafés, and bars. The only stand-out for those with limited financial resources would be the world-famous Milos restaurant (obviously Greek) just south of the hotel. Luxury vehicles and supercars usually park in front of the place, and having been there in the past, rest assured that a couple's date with a modest selection from their impressive wine list will set you back at least CAD$400.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The facilities were great, there was a cafe on site, bar, & entertainment for all ages. The neighbourhood outside feels unsafe (particularly at night), but we felt very secure in the hostel compound & stepping out at day time. Wonderful value for money!

    -Great location - easy access to public transport I recommend buying an $11 24hour ticket at the station, it can be used for the metro and buses (including the airport bus to the city!) -Comfortable beds - my room was a good size and had a small kitchen which was very handy. -Felt very safe as a female solo traveller. - Nice pool - was great to use after a big day of exploring Montreal. - staff were friendly

    The hostel is well-located, close to the subway station and restaurants, just a 10-minute walk away. The room and bathroom are bright, clean, and comfortable. In addition, you have enough space to store your personal items. Highly recommended for those traveling on a budget, it's the best hostel to choose.

    Great location, clean and safe hostel. I stayed in a dorm and it was comfortable and quiet. Since it is right smack in downtown Montreal, I would recommend it for a stay close to all public transportation. The breakfast was also very good.

    The hotel was a great deal for anyone looking to travel on a budget and be close to downtown and the best highlights of Montreal. It was my first time staying in a hostel abroad and it allayed my fears. I stayed in an all-female room of 12 and it was super safe and clean all the time. The jacuzzi on the roof is amazing and the staff were friendly and multi-lingual. I even extended my stay one extra day. I would 100% recommend this place to friends, solo travellers and especially female solo travellers.

    I'm from Ukraine and I spent about 2 weeks there. It was the cheapest and best hostel with an amazing breakfast every morning. This place is really nice, clean, and so comfortable. The staff was also very nice and helpful. Thank you to everyone for everything. I liked it so much!!"

    Great location, very nice and competent staff, newly built hotel so spacey room with washrooms and social corner, plus large common areas to work / cook / eat / relax. Each bunk bed as 2 electric plugs, a light, under the bed locker, storage around the bed, and curtains to sleep nicely. Plus the WiFi is really good! Close to a lot of things in Downtown Montreal. So far the best Hostel in that city, especially at that price!
