Samesun Montreal Hotel & Hostel

Gorgeous little hotel close to the old city. Highly recommend for the overall feeling. The walls are thin but it feels safe and is in a good neighbourhood.

Great location and kind staffs. The room was big. It's better to bring your own shampoo and shower gel. It was also great that the breakfast was provided. There is a big supermarket nearby so it was easy to get something there.

Keeping in mind this is a hostel, the experience was overall positive. Very close to Berry Metro station and to a pretty lively neighborhood, but still quiet at night if one is looking for a calm and chill environment. No bed bugs signs, which I think its the priority. A relevant con is the pretty poor cleaning of the bathroom in the shared rooms, which should be improved. Common areas are not very big, very enough for everyone to use and enjoy at their discretion.

The location is perfect close to the main bus station. The breakfast is ok and the room is quite good with a little fridge in the dorm to store food and drinks.

I had a great experience at the hostel. The hostel is very clean, and the customer service staff is friendly and polite.

Samesun is your good basic budget hostel that I very conveniently located in Montreal. The hostel tends to attract a bit of a younger crowd but still 18-35 is the average age range and the on site bar is fairly popular. The included breakfast is surprisingly very decent with Bagels, waffles, coffee, juice and cereal on offer and muffins. Breakfast goes from 730am to 10 I believe but I always tried to get there early as I was volunteering for the Montreal comiccon and wanted a good breakfast before starting my day. The hostel while close to things is also in a bit of a rougher part of town and at night there can be homeless hanging around but most are relatively harmless. The building is older but the beds are nice and I am a taller guy and could still sleep in the beds fine. I was in the mixed genders dorm and only complaint was the 1 washroom and that you are not just handed a towel when checking in, you have to ask for it or bring your own. There is another washroom with shower off the kitchen and that helps if the one in your room is busy. 2nd night someone cleaning the room I think had turned off the AC but it was easy to figure out how to turn it back on and when on the rooms are comfortable. Without it though stuffy and hot. I really liked and appreciated the bag storage offered as I had to check out at 3pm but my Megabus was not until 1230am...but I was able to store my bag until about 10pm and then pick it up and go on my way. While this hostel does not have a hot tub or all the bells and whistles of others, if all you need is a good room with a decent morning breakfast, this place more than meets your needs.
