Downtown hostel, formerly HI Montréal, near Lucien-L'Allier metro and the Bell Centre.
Auberge Saintlo Montréal, formerly HI Montréal, is a downtown hostel at 1030 Rue Mackay, near the Lucien-L'Allier metro station and the Bell Centre. The address is in the western part of downtown, within walking distance of Rue Sainte-Catherine, the Golden Square Mile and the Guy-Concordia area. The Lucien-L'Allier station also serves commuter trains, and the Underground City entrances are nearby.
The hostel offers dormitory beds and private rooms, with dorm beds typically around CAD 40 to 65 per night and private rooms costing more. Facilities include wifi, a shared kitchen, a lounge, laundry and lockers, which suit backpackers, students and budget travellers. The shared kitchen allows guests to prepare meals, a useful saving in Montreal where restaurant prices are high, though breakfast is not among the listed amenities.
The hostel's website is at hihostels.ca/montreal, and a direct phone line is available. The atmosphere is social, with the lounge acting as a meeting point for travellers. Dorm sleeping requires guests to bring a lock or use the lockers provided, and quiet hours typically apply.
The location suits visitors attending events at the Bell Centre, hockey fans and those arriving by commuter train or the Lucien-L'Allier station. Old Montreal is about fifteen minutes by metro or a longer walk, and Mount Royal is reachable by bus. Summer is busiest, with the jazz festival and Grand Prix filling dorms early, so advance booking is wise. Winter visitors will find the hostel quieter and the nearby Underground City helpful for walking between attractions without going outdoors.
