This very clean hostel is in the heart of wild parties on Fridays and Saturdays which you can ignore and do not have to participate. I must admit that they seem to be civilized as the participants do not cause problems. To me personally it was not a problem. Great location. Just a walking distance to the heart of old city and an impressive Museum of the Plains of Abraham. I have spent hours walking in the huge park of the Plains overlooking St. Lawrence River and the Old City. It is a prime location. Just park the car for $9.00 for 12 hrs or $18.00 for 24 hrs just behind the hostel and you are ready to explore. The beds are very comfortable! Many washrooms and shower cabins. A great inexpensive experience.
