Samesun Montreal

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.

La meilleure auberge où j'ai logé, sur mon voyage de 2 ans ! La qualité du petit-déjeuner, le service de lingeries rapide et pas cher, l'accueil ainsi que le contact avec le personnel ! Aucun reproche négatif !

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 as in convenient to everything. Spacious room, good breakfast and there is a kitchen that can be used by Travellers.

Overall, I was satisfied with my stay at Samsun Montréal. The place is clean, well-located, and comfortable. However, a major downside was that the bedding wasn’t made up beforehand. This was quite surprising since many other hostels in Montreal, even cheaper ones, provide this as a standard service. It’s especially inconvenient when you’re on an upper bunk as it creates noise and disturbs others. It would definitely be much more comfortable if beds were prepared in advance.

Very good location, friendly staff and 24 hours reception. Free coffee and breakfast are gift to customers.
