Hotel M Montreal was an absolutely incredible Hostel in such a great city to travel through. Super clean rooms, showers, and kitchen. Bed had great privacy, even considering having stayed in a 12 Person Mixed dorm. Events every night. Super friendly staff. Lots of good food in a short walk. Just a few blocks away from the 747 Bus Stop to the airport, and Berri-UQAM station.
My biggest concern is the location the hostel is in. It seems to be a great location, in theory, with so many restaurants and being so close to downtown Montreal. However, being a solo female traveller, I did not feel safe even walking four blocks down to the station in broad daylight, let alone at night with people. On multiple occasions during my stay, I was threatened by people on the street-- be it verbal or physical. This made traveling to bus stops or the subway extremely difficult and put me on edge every time I needed to go somewhere, especially coming home at night. I almost contemplated leaving and picking another place to stay in, but my stay was not long enough to warrant it.
