"I found this bright, colorful hostel well placed — about a five-minute walk to Rue Saint-Denis, 10 minutes to Old Montreal, and 20 to Parc du Mont-Royal — with clean, cozy rooms (dorms to studios) that include sinks, mini-fridges, and lockers. Shared bathrooms can mean waits since there are only two per floor in dorms, but there is a pleasant common area and a rooftop terrace for hanging out. Breakfast is free and hearty (waffles, eggs, fresh fruit, baked goods, and real maple syrup), and there can occasionally be a two-night minimum." - Matthew Kepnes
