Staff: 98%

The staff at the Alexandrie Montreal was superb! They were some of the most informative and helpful staff members that I have encountered in all of my travels. The person who checked me in spent at least 10 unsolicited minutes with me only going over the city's highlights. I saw this done with each person who checked in. Also, almost every night someone from the staff would take everyone from the hostel out to one of the best bars/clubs in the area.

How Clean is it?: 90%

The Alexandrie-Montreal was a clean place being cleaned every day. The kitchen was especially nice. The furniture was in good condition. Only bad thing is that they use "pee covers" for the beds making for a somewhat uncomfortable and noisy sleep.

The Extra Good:

The Alexandrie-Montreal has been one of the most comfortable hostels I have ever stayed at. I really felt as if I was at home. Besides the comfortable surroundings, the staff made you really feel welcome.

The Extra Bad:

The plastic "pee covers" they put on all the mattresses and pillows always make for an uncomfortable and noisy sleep. On hot days they can be really uncomfortable. I know they have a purpose but most hostels seem to somehow get by without them.

Final Thoughts:

The Alexandrie-Montreal hostel is easily one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel at home, the free amenities are awesome (especially breakfast), the common rooms are great for meeting people and the location is great.
