The Good: For the hostel, service was definitely feeling like a typical 3- to 4-star hotel stay with vibrant and clean facilities as well as awesome, well-informed staff on trends and events in the area and meeting new guests you bunk with in the hostel. Definitely a big 5/5 up for the cleanliness of personal linens. Remember travellers! Unless you are booking private rooms (which cost more), you as a hostel guest are responsible for returning your own linens and towels at the reception as an additional (refundable) deposit charge will be made on your credit card on check-in! You as a hostel guest are responsible for exchanging dirty towel or linens for clean ones at the front desk. The "could improve" points: The cleanliness and property is generally well maintained, and every effort was made by staff to maintain cleanliness and staff was pleasant enough to exchange my bath towels daily. But some things, espeically the shared resources such as the washroom towellette in the room near the shower was a bit soiled (hasn't been changed in few days), and in the cafe some cushion seats and decorations appeared worn or ripped. The bad (not fault of hostel, but still 4/5): The neighbourhood at the M is in the Gay Village and a vibrant community with events almost every week! However, there are a few undesirables wandering about but generally won't bother you, but please do not leave anything unattended such as bicycles or other things unsecured outside the property!

First stay in a hostel style lodging and it was superb. Quiet, clean, beautifully appointed bunks. Hosts were lovely. Many breakfast choices at affordable prices- I had the best Americano here! Lots to do if you so choose. Would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat. Excellent location right near Ste. Catherine and all it offers.

The M exceeded my expectations, especially on my first time doing a dorm-style hostel accommodation. The rooftop patio with hammocks was a dream. The comedy act in the basement bar was fun. The bunks were private and comfortable.

Montreal is truly an amazing Hostel. Actually feels and looks more like an Hotel which is a great thing. The Staff are all welcoming, genuine, and helpful. The Hostel and our room was exceptionally clean and organized. We will certainly look forward to staying here again.

This was the cleanest hostel room I've ever stayed at. I slept in a six bed room, which included one bathroom with a shower as well as a desk. Everything was functional. Each bed had curtains, a cubby, power plugs that worked, lockers, a light, even a rack to hang clothes. The bunk beds were nice and didn't creak. There are additional showers on each floor but I couldn't find additional toilets which is unfortunate. It is a big hostel and as such it's not quite as easy to meet new people as other hostels. I appreciate they have some day activities to help with that. The bar downstairs is a nice space, and it is the place that I would run into people. The rooftop jacuzzi was neat. We couldn't totally figure out how it worked but it was functional. Nice way to relax after a lot of walking. In addition, there is a large kitchen and dining area, an area that seems to be catered towards people who want to work on a laptop, and at the end of the lobby is another mini-kitchen with a place that sells breakfast, and seating area. Overall I liked my time in this hostel as a home base for exploring Montreal!

Best place for solo travellers to connect with each other…

Stayed here twice, very good value for money. Good location in the village. Hostel is clean and modern.

No breakfast?!?!

No breakfast?!?!

Loved the room that we got. Beds where comfortable. Will def stay again

You might as well pay for a single hotel room or Airbnb room in a shared house for this price. The cleanliness, beds, and bathrooms were all of fair quality, but not worth $150/night including all fees. The desk staff were extremely un-accommodating when an issue with my credit card arose. Instead of waiting a couple of days for the issue to be resolved, or taking cash or debit as a security deposit, they made me buy a pre-paid visa for an additional $6. For this price, save yourself the trouble and stay somewhere with customer service.

Clean and well maintained spot close to old port

Clean and wide room . Close to berry uqam metro station

The only thing that I would complain about is that they should be the ones providing the locks, but still overall it was an all right experience

Staff were great.very friendly and eager to help out!

Super!

Very good for the price. Clean rooms, linens provided and breakfast bag was 6.95 plus tax.

It was a great time. Was the best hostel experience I've had. Great amenities, incredible staff, and impeccable location.

Facilities, which means rooms for cooking, lounge, studies and relaxing. Everything cleaned. Staff is also ready to help.

We rented a two king suite for one night. The room and building was beautiful, well kept and very well maintained. The staff were so kind and helpful, and the add on parking was very convenient. We walked to our event at Place des Arts very easily. It is most definitely on our list for return trips.

Room was a little dated a dirty. Good location.

I am impressed my hotel going forward!!!

For being my first time staying in a hostel I never expected it to be this awesome. From the smooth check in to the awesome staff with all around service I prefer this stay to any hotel stay I’ve had before. Plus they have awesome daily activities led by really cool people. I hope to come back soon for another great experience.

Great staff, clean rooms, love the curtains that give you your full privacy!

Awesome location easy access to everywhere in DT Montreal, room was clean and quiet

This hostel was amazing! The two rooftop jacuzzis were really the highlight, but other amenities like the basement bar and onsite cafe were great too. Our private room was cozy with a comfortable bed and nice ensuite bathroom. It's also right next to the Village gay district with bars and restaurants.

Clean. Friendly staff. Perfect location for getting to Grand Prix by metro. Easy Ubers to Old Town or also walkable.

Comfortable bed, clean room and excellent condition. Close to a main subway station. Lots of restaurant options within walking distance.

The M is a nice oasis in an "earthy" part of Montreal. I felt safe, but I'm a suburban dweller, so consider the lens. I was also driving a full-size pick up truck, and getting around, parking, etc. is more complicated. The M is a renovated old building, but did not feel old at all. It's a hotel/hostel so it's efficient in the use of space and the amenities.

Great place to sleep in and enjoy your entire stay, jacuzzi experience was wonderful along with the rooftop view.......rooms were tidy and very clean.....the microwave and a chance to make your own meal was so convenient......staff were very pleasant.......overall everything was made to feel very comfortable for you!!!!!!EXCELLENT!!!!!

Great size room with nice kitchen and bathroom. The only recommendation I have is to install a safety grab-bar in the show as the tub floor is VERY slippery when it is wet & the tub wall is high- so stepping I. And out of the shower/tub there is nothing to grab on to. Also, it would be nice to have some hooks to hang towels and clothing on while in the bathroom.

I think Expedia needs to be transparent and clear that this is a hostel - and yes, a nice one at that, but still a hostel with a lot of noise catering to to young people. For the price and lack of cleanliness, really not great.
