I stayed for 4 weeks, the day I arrived at the hostel I had free time, this was good because I was able to rest, even the day before leaving the hostel they also gave me off day. Laura is very accessible and all the receptionists are very friendly. The work is really simple and you have 3 hours a day to do it, it is super calm. I had a well-equipped kitchen at my disposal, I loved that the place is super quiet and central, you can walk to all the places of basic needs, even tourist attractions, there's also the metro that has good service and economical.

Enjoyed my time here! The work was super chill and is what you'd expect: cleaning and changing beds. There is a fair amount of steps so you'll need to be happy carry cleaning equipment and bedding between the buildings/up and down stairs. I was really grateful to the team as I was originally given a bed in a 15 bed dorm and when I asked to move to a female only dorm, this was accomodated swiftly! Overall I enjoyed my time there, all of the staff are lovely and happy to give recs for the city and the work was super chill!

L'auberge the hostel était mon tout premier woofing. J'ai passé un super temps là-bas. Ils ont 2 auberges et je suis restée à celle du vieux Montréal qui est hyper cosy. Les réceptionnistes ont été toutes et tous adorables durant tout mon temps. Laura qui s'occupe des volontaires est très gentille et a l'écoute pour les heures de travail et jours de congés. On y travaille 3h pour 2 jours off. Seule chose que j'ai trouvé dommage est que la lessive n'est pas gratuite pour les volontaires (de mon côté c'est durant le ménage que j'ai le plus sali mes affaires). Il faut payer comme les clients.

Salut Maud,

Merci beaucoup pour ton retour ! On est ravi·es que ton premier woofing se soit bien passé chez nous:) C’est toujours un plaisir de savoir que l’ambiance conviviale de l’auberge et l’accueil de l’équipe ont contribué à rendre ton séjour agréable. Merci aussi pour ta remarque concernant la lessive, je garde ça en tête pour améliorer l’expérience des futur·es volontaires.

Bonne continuation dans tes aventures, et peut-être à une prochaine fois à Montréal ! :)
