Overall not a horrible place to stay if you don’t mind horrid bo and no doors on your pods. Yes unlike most pods that have a card locking system, this company has decided to replace them with open curtains that you are unable to close unless you have something to cover the gap in the middle. You can find a much better bang for your buck at Hotel St André.

Great Staff but you may get a lemon module

it's a Hostel and it looked quit modern and the modules are supposed to be sound proof but my bottom bunk was do squeaky that every time I tossed to one side the whole module would squeak leaving no peace for my neughbours and my back was just killing me every night the mattress was so thin I could feel the steel bar underneath my back all night ,... I got the lemon bed I assumed ... and I felt the place needed to be sprayed for bugs had to wash all my cloths at the laundry mate to make sure I was taking on any viditors... I must say it's cheap and you a lousy bed well you pay for what you get for. Nonetheless the staff where found regularly cleaning and courteous .... Madelaine made a good impression on me and thus the reason I stayed the full three nights. If go to a hostel remember to request a good functioning module .... it's in the old Montreal section which is a perfect location to access the historical sites of this great city.

Not as shown in photos

Pods do not have doors as shown in the photos. They have only fabric with a slit or pull down shades. No power outlet in pod, only usb ports. Mattress is very thin and it is right on the floor, making it challenging to get up, especially with uncomfortable frame. Stairs are simple mdf to upper bunk. Stairs are unavoidable as sleeping quarters are in the basement. Soap and shampoo are provided but there is not a way to dry your hands at all (no hand dryers, paper towels, or towels.) No common room like many hostels - only a kitchenette/dining area.

The pictures for this hostel are not accurate at all. That was the biggest complaint for us. The doors to each pod do not close completely. The pod we were assigned to had a curtain that was attached with a flimsy piece of duct tape and we were not offered a different pod even though many were open at the time of our check in. We had booked 3 nights total and ended up only staying 1 night.

This property is an absolute scam. The pods are absolutely horrible and smell like a wet dog. The pods aren’t soundproof and the doors are all broken while attempting to be masked with a badly cut out piece of fabric instead. No lockers are inside the pods as advertised, instead it’s broken lockers outside the pods which were already all used (you also needed your own lock). The property was apparently under construction which meant no kitchen or pool table. Overall this place is definitely not worth the money!

Faites vous une faveur, N'Y ALLEZ PAS! Ce n'est rien d'autre qu'une MAUVAISE auberge de jeunesse à PRIX FORT. La description est extrêmement mensongère et trompeuse. Les draps sont tachés, sentent la sueur et les pieds, et vous accueillent avec beaucoup de cheveux épars. En sus des odeurs, le bruit de vos "colocataires" fait certainement partie du charme de ce trou à rats. Les toilettes sont sales, il faudra faire des squats... La douche est pour ainsi dire inutilisable: l'eau prend environ 10 minutes pour chauffer, et il n'y a aucune pression, juste un filet d'eau. Évidemment, aucune serviette n'est fournie... Hormis les WC et la soi-disant salle de bains, les parties communes sont en travaux depuis de nombreux mois, alors oubliez la cuisine et tout le beau descriptif associé... À FUIR!!!

About the scammed

I stayed here for one night and was told upon arrival that the payment I made on the website had not been received by the hotel. As a result, I was asked to pay again at the hotel. Despite my concerns about a duplicate payment, I was assured that a refund would be provided. However, it has now been over two months, and I have yet to receive the refund. I called the hotel directly to follow up, and while they acknowledged the issue and confirmed that a refund would be issued, no progress has been made. This has been a frustrating and disappointing experience. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this hotel and will not be returning.
