"I found this well-situated hostel very convenient (just a two-minute walk to the metro that goes straight to Old Montreal) with spotless dorms and private rooms that are clean and comfortable, plus co-working spaces if you need to work. The common room has a pool table, the large kitchen is stocked with basics, and there's a café, bar, and free breakfast daily; they also organize lots of activities like bike tours, walks, pub crawls, and poutine tastings. The bunks are basic and lack curtains, but the mattresses are decent — overall a reliable, activity-filled option and one of my top picks." - Matthew Kepnes
