If you are a person who needs all the amenities of a normal hotel and have never stayed in a hostel, this isn't the place for you. But for those who don't mind shared space and need just the basics, it's great. Check in is easy, room was small but good for what we needed. Shower and toilets are shared but we never ran into anyone else. Shower gets HOT which was nice! The hotel provides towels so bring your own products. Room has an AC which makes the room super chilly. Tv works and has Netflix. But the best thing is the location. Right next to Metro and in the center of one of the best neighborhoods in Montreal. So many shops and restaurants. If you are a formar hostel hopper like me, you'll have no problem here.
