What guests think
Across recent reviews, Alt Hostel is praised for its central Old Montreal location and friendly staff, with dorms and common areas that make it easy to meet people while keeping budgets in check.
Rooms are dorm-style with comfortable beds, though noise from guests and thin walls, tight bunk spacing, and chilly airflow are noted. Facilities like a communal kitchen, complimentary coffee and tea, and free laundry are appreciated, while a shoes-off policy and access-code entry draw mixed reactions. Cleanliness is often praised, but a few reviewers reported messy shared bathrooms and occasional shortages. Expect a sociable, budget-friendly hostel experience with simple comforts.

I stayed here for one week. This place is just so amazing and comfortable to stay at. Everyone is great. Claire and Ramon has helped me so much as they are being really nice to me. They let guests to have complimentary coffee and tea, as well as using the washer with no extra cost. Everywhere in this place is very clean. They host a lot of fun events. I am able to meet very interesting people from around the world.

It is by far the best hostel that I have stayed in as far as the country is concerned. Having access codes to enter the building is interesting, rather than an open reception. But as far as Canada is concerned this makes sense due to the housing crisis and the unhoused people issue which would cause random people to walk in and cause problems. This is an example of how a hostel should and can run in a very tightly regulated country like Canada.

A rather disappointing experience, the place seems a bit outdated, is super noisy especially on the ground floor where loud late chitchat interferes with sleep. Location is the main highlight of this place, ideally located in old Montreal with beautiful streets nearby. The space between beds is so small you bang your head and back trying to get in and out horizontally, had a few bruises as a result. Insufficient number of toilets and showers, insufficient infrequent cleaning made the bathrooms a mess most of the time, out of paper a few times, lights going off while you’re still in, no space nowhere to put even a little bag of toiletries while you brush your teeth. The kitchen had a bare minimum, no breakfast unlike some other hostels offering amazing breakfasts. Coffee and tea were complimentary.

Stayed for one night so I could catch a connecting flight in the morning. I didn’t stay in the main building nor did I use any of the common areas. I struggled getting through the building with all the different codes since key cards are not in use. The shared bathrooms outside my room were dirty and had water all over the floor. The toilet paper dispenser was broken. Both toilets were clogged when I arrived. It should also be advised that shoes are not allowed in the complex. I didn’t have slippers so I had to walk around barefoot. I tiptoed everywhere, it was unpleasant. The positive: lockers in the room, large enough to put my carry on suitcase and extra items.

Excellent place. Very clean, comfortable beds and bathrooms, free washing machines,with a big, well-equipped kitchen and three big fridges to keep your own food and cook it on the spot. The people sharing the bedrooms are really quiet and respectful. It is very safe; I left my cell phone by mistake on the dining table for a whole day and nobody took it. The beds are very comfortable, and it is close to a subway station. No grocery store at walking distance, though.

Lovely hostel, very clean and excellent location. The HVAC blower is on 24/7 making the stay unpleasantly cold for no reason with the temperature set to 22 C. It's personal preference but, simply putting that you auto instead if having it blowing everywhere, all the time would make it a spot of like to return to.

There was an issue with the booking website where the room was cancelled without a refund, so I rebooked. Auberge, despite knowing/admitting that I had paid twice, refused to refund the double payment. It was an issue with booking, but Auberge could have easily fixed things and instead chose to double dip.

First time staying at a hostel and everything was great! It was cold in my dorm room at night because the AC was on but that can be fixed by bring a blanket. The hostel is located in an area where you can get to all the attractions of Montreal easily. I spent most of my time getting through Montreal using a bike or walking. There are many shops and restaurants in this area as well.

I stayed here for one week. This place is just so amazing and comfortable to stay at. Everyone is great. Claire and Ramon has helped me so much as they are being really nice to me. They let guests to have complimentary coffee and tea, as well as using the washer with no extra cost. Everywhere in this place is very clean. They host a lot of fun events. I am able to meet very interesting people from around the world.

A rather disappointing experience, the place seems a bit outdated, is super noisy especially on the ground floor where loud late chitchat interferes with sleep. Location is the main highlight of this place, ideally located in old Montreal with beautiful streets nearby. The space between beds is so small you bang your head and back trying to get in and out horizontally, had a few bruises as a result. Insufficient number of toilets and showers, insufficient infrequent cleaning made the bathrooms a mess most of the time, out of paper a few times, lights going off while you’re still in, no space nowhere to put even a little bag of toiletries while you brush your teeth. The kitchen had a bare minimum, no breakfast unlike some other hostels offering amazing breakfasts. Coffee and tea were complimentary.

Quite possible the worst hostel I've staid in. Pros: Location maybe, although it's overrated; Cons: Everything else: Horrible cheap rubber mattress, extremely noisy hostel- only got 4-5 hours of sleep all night from pounding and random noises, 20 people packed like sardines in triple bunks so low you cannot sit on the side of your bunk to get dressed, shared bunk curtain among all 3 people ensure no privacy for anyone, parking extremely limited so you cannot count on it (alternative is 5 minutes away paid parking); you have to take your shoes off at the entrance which is not ideal for using the bathrooms with urine on the floors, take stairs to reach the bathrooms/showers, bunk rooms immediately outside the reception and kitchen guarantee constant noise, no chairs you can sit on to get changed in the room, low class/semi-homeless type guests, some of which are quite inconsiderate. You cannot talk to them on the phone, all communication is through messages which is odd and a hassle. I cannot recommend this hostel -it's getting by on its location and fails to provider a good value even at its extremely low price point.
