Overall, it was a good experience because you connect directly with the community's identity. You also get to know Montreal's unique urban area. I could only improve the facilities for volunteers in the future.

I had an amazing time at Alt Hostel! The tasks were easy und I had a lot of free time to discover Montréal, relax or connect with other people at the hostel. Made some great friends there. The staff is really kind and welcoming. The location is very good and a lot of places are within walking distance.

Hi Benjamina,

Thanks a ton for your message! It’s great to know your stay with us gave you the chance to discover Montréal at your own pace and meet some wonderful people along the way, that’s exactly the spirit we hope to create here;) Take care, and who knows, maybe we’ll cross paths again somewhere down the road!

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 ! :)

My time in the hostel was very good. The hostel is super clean and comfortable and the receptionist and other guests were so cool and nice. Laura was very understanding and flexible with the schedule. Work hours are not long at all but it can be quite tiring if you are doing all the cleaning by yourself. Some things to have in mind: Montreal is super pricey and they don't give any food (except for poutine on Thursday nights) so have that in mind when you go! Also no free laundry or towel. During my time there 2 volunteers had problems with the owner but he is almost never around anyway

Hey Aline,
I know you were disappointed that there's no meals, but like I told you, we are asking very little hours compared to other hosts so I think we offer a very good deal :)
I only had an issue with one volunteer, but the other one was his friend and followed along. Anyway, tks for your help and safe trip!

The hostel is very clean and modern and well located the staff and volunteers were all so kind and friendly. The work is very easy and it's great you get 3 days off to explore the city. I would definitely recommend this hostel and hope to come back in the summer . Thank you to everyone there for making my time there so amazing :)

It was a very nice experience, especially thanks to the staff and the guests. The receptionists are all very friendly, respect work schedules, and the work itself is very easy, leaving you with plenty of free time. As a recommendation, they could make a room exclusively for volunteers because sharing a room with 10 people plus the noise from the room next door made it very difficult to sleep. I solved this with headphones. The good thing is that Laura, despite not always being at the hostel, is attentive to your needs and finds solutions. We always had good communication. Thanks to the team 🥰

Hi Yenny,

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed your time with us and felt supported, it was truly a pleasure having you here. Thanks as well for the suggestion about the room; it's been noted. Headphones are a great trick, and we also provide free earplugs at reception to help light sleepers in shared rooms.

I had a disappointing experience at this hostel. I didn't even meet the host until several days after arriving. Then, without much notice, the hostel was suddenly closed for four days, and we were forced to leave with only one day's warning. Another major issue was their use of glue traps for mice, which is incredibly inhumane and causes unnecessary suffering to animals. To make matters worse, my friend was kicked out without much explanation. When I expressed my discomfort and uncertainty about how to proceed, I was also asked to leave. The entire situation felt unprofessional and unfair.

Hey Joline,
I know you were friend with Joe. Joe was reminded on a daily basis by my staff that it was is last chance to abide few basic rules. He did not change path. At some point, we have to draw a line. Personally, I had only good feedbacks about you and think you were doing a great job. But when you told me that you were not sure if you would stay or leave with Joe, it was up to you. I just could not work with a "maybe". You would have been more than welcome to stay however.
Safe trip!
