the hostel has very clean co work bathrooms super clean I stayed in a female dorm room it was comfortable and the area was walkable to stores and the bus stops the metro station was very close the only thing I didn't like was the charging port you need an adapter to charge your phone or the staff will rent you one or you have to buy it the breakfast was really good I really liked the bagels I met a lot of people at this hostel the hostel had good vibes

plugs in my dorm room didn't work with out an adapter female bathroom could have been cleaner also it snowed a lot during my stay also their is no elevator you have to walk up stairs

I was in Canada from October 1st to 24th and made 8 reservations at this hostel. I had only booked my first day at the hostel, but I liked it so much that I extended my stay. I stayed at other hostels, but I always returned to Saintlo because this is without a doubt the best hostel in Montreal. The hostel is always clean, has breakfast, and has a familiar and friendly atmosphere. I would like to thank the staff (CoCo and Flor) who always kept the hostel very clean and whenever I asked, they provided me with more towels and whatever I needed. I would like to thank the volunteers who are very welcoming, friendly and make a huge difference at the hostel with daily activities for the guests (Valéria, Declan, Laura, Blanca, Evan and Luis). I would like to highlight Valéria who is a volunteer and also a staff member at the hostel. She is an incredible person, very hard-working, very dedicated to the hostel and has a lot of potential. The hostel has a bar in the same area as the snooker table, which allows for interaction between guests. Not to mention the Bar Manager Phelipe, who is the fun of the bar and interacts with everyone, making the atmosphere fun and friendly. The bar wouldn't be the same without him. These days that I spent at the hostel were incredible and made my vacation in Canada even more special. This hostel is without a doubt one of the best I've ever been to.

The lounge area in the basement was a breakfast café in the morning and a bar at night. Great cozy place to hang out and meet people. Lots of barstools, chairs, tables, and couches to sit on. It's right in the middle of downtown and the Lucien L'Allier metro station is right around the corner. All the staff are super friendly and helpful.

If you're a light sleeper a hostel probably isn't the place for you because the bunk bed ladders are creaky and might wake you. Other than that the place is wonderful.

Staff is friendly & helpful. 2 staff at the desk 24/7. Room/ bed set up: each bed had a privacy curtain, outlet, little shelf by the head of the bed, small locker space. Kitchen & dining area: LOTS of different tools for cooking your own food. Kitchen is open at all times, except 2-4pm (yes, even open at 2am). Big fridge -- you can store your own food in separate, labelled trays. Dining area has many various seating configurations, very flexible. Long breakfast window (7.30am- 11am). No discrimination against late sleepers & people come down in a more staggered fashion. After checkout, they have free luggage storage until midnight that day. Super helpful.

The 10 females room having just one washroom (shower & toilet together) is a little uncomfortable. One shower per room is fine ofc. I wish there was an extra 2-3 bathroom stalls on every floor, rather than just the one extra bathroom per floor. Can't get a water bottle at the bar.

I booked 6 nights at this place. The hostel is very clean, very well located about two blocks from the subway and just one block from the bus station. The beds and rooms are comfortable and a good size. The area is very safe, close to cafes, pharmacies, and grocery stores. Breakfast is fine, consisting of coffee, bread, cereal, and apples, but there is no protein. When I arrived, they had an overbooking problem, which is why they changed my room on my second day, with the inconvenience of checking out at 11 a.m. and checking back in after 4 p.m. The new room was very noisy, so I requested another change for my third day to a room in the backyard, and they made the switch.

The rooms facing the front are very noisy. The hostel's bar claims to operate until 11:00 p.m., but the music continues until 12:30 a.m., making it difficult to fall asleep in the first-floor rooms before then. Some staff members do not provide information about the breakfast schedule or where it is served, even though it is included in the reservation. It doesn't make sense to have a water dispenser labeled as tap water; it would be better to just avoid it altogether.

For a hostel, it was better than expected. All necessary items were provided without the unnecessary extras not everyone wants to pay for anyway. They were very kind to let us store our bags after our checkout so we could still see the city while we waited for our late flight. I loved the provided breakfast of bagels, spreads and coffee. There was a kitchen so if you brought your own food, it could be cooked there. I loved the atmosphere of so many young adults cleaning up their own mess and washing their own dishes. It gave it a 'home' experience.

Everything was great. No complaints.

accomodation is fantastic..(room 110, bed.F). i felt i am in Hilton otel bed..by window, watching snowing and shower/WC in private..staffs are helpful and kind..close to metro station and also airport bus 747 station.in the bus they don't sell ticket.you have to buy in metro station 11 Canadian dollar..hostel inside temperature is agréable..

breakfast was poor..menegement was stingy about breakfast items..no egg, no juice, only white cheese, no toast bread, only bagels and sourdough breads.. Bar also was poor..only one kind red vine which comes from 3 or 4 liters carton box.selling 8 cabadian dollar a glass.i found expensive for that quality of vine...hostel policy: you can't bring vine from outside..you should drink hostel bar Vine..they forgot Québec state is little France where cheeses and vines should be free circulation..but hostel plays an other song..

The hostel is a very comfortable space. The breakfast is very good too. The location is great, is close to Sainte-Catherine street.

On my first day, an attendant was very rude to me when I asked her to repeat an information, since my native language is not English, much less French. I had a very heavy suitcase and for me, no help was offered. There is no elevator at the hostel. The other days, everyone was nice.

I really liked my stay at Auberge Saintlo, and I'd stay here again the next time I visit Montréal! The accomodations were quite clean considering how many guests were staying. They have an extra bathroom on each floor in case ones in the rooms are occupied, which was appreciated. The free breakfast didn't hurt, but if you're looking for a more filling breakfast, you're better off eating out. I particularly liked the sense of community they foster. They made an effort for guests to connect and socialize with one another through karaoke and pub crawls, which I wish I had participated more in. If you're staying in a room with multiple guests, the bunk beds do provide some privacy, but sharing a room with complete strangers will depend on your comfort level. I had no issues with the other guests in my room since I never spoke to them.

One of the best hostels I have ever stayed. Super clean, excellent location, decent breakfast included in the price. The staff is always helpful and kind. There is a big kitchen where you can store your food and prepare your meals. There is a bar with selection of tasty beers as well as the study / coworking rooms. If the bathroom in your room is occupied, you can use communal bathrooms outside. Beds are comfy, although I would suggest a little shelf attached to the bed wall. Definitely not a party hostel, which I truly appreciate. You will meet people from everywhere and there are even families with kids. I'll be back, thank you so much!
