Description
If you are looking for a nice place to stay that offers you conviviality, a great home sense and lots of little extras, look no more! Here's why you should plan your stay with us:
1. You cross the street and you are at Metro Jean-Talon, a central hub for the Orange and Blue subway lines. Several currency exchanges and grocery stores are close by.
2. You are only 7 minutes away from the Latin Quarter, an area of Montreal that is best known for its bars, boutiques, cafes, theatres, and artistic and academic atmosphere. It's nice to visit, but not, necessarily, to live there because it is too commercial. Here, however, you can step out and be immersed in a full-fledged, European-style market, bordered by specialty shops and one of Montreal's top music stores. In moments, with the booty you found at the market, you can be preparing an interesting meal in our fully equipped kitchen. What other hostel has 3 refrigerators?
3. No curfews, No lock-downs, Clean Sheets, Conviviality.
4. We have a kickass, state-of-the-art game-room, featuring Xbox 360, connected to a 1000 Watt, home theatre system and a 52 inch, plasma, High Definition TV.
5. Satellite Television, with at least 950 channels, including all the major sports channels, etc.
6. We are the only hostel to offer on-site, and for your convenience, a dishwasher and a laundry room, which you could use for free (Special conditions apply; inquire during check-in).
7. We have lockers which are super-big and they lock.
8. Even though such treats as the glass-protected Plaza Saint-Hubert, swimming pools and Little Italy are close by, you could walk across the street and hop on the swift, rubber-tired subway or avail yourself of the efficient network of busses that can "dip" to the ground to assist the handicapped.
9. Just outside, and surrounding the hostel, are a wide variety of restaurants and local bars, frequented by travelers as well as students from the many colleges and universities in the area.
10. We are near some amazing parks and sports facilities Complexe sportif Claude-Robillard (Jeux de Montreal and the Défi sportif (for handicapped athletes) & Uniprix Stadium (Roger's Tennis Cup at Jarry Park ] and one of the world's most extensive bicycle paths which, if taken from beginning to end, can have you circle around the island of Montreal.
11. Our price listing generally all inclusive, which means that inside the room rate listed on the web we calculated all the taxes for you, it includes all applicable taxes. The only exception to this rule are rates which are below 20.95$ per night. to those rates you must expect to add another 12.5% tax payable upon arrival. What you see as your final price is generally exactly what you pay upon your arrival. Guest should also be mindfull that the rates seen were setup in USD.

Located at the border of Villeray and La Petite-Patrie, just steps away from Montreal's Marche Jean-Talon and moments away from Plateau Mont-Royal, is Explorer's House. This centrally-located hostel, a very laid-back facility, offers the right mix of comfort and convenience at a very competitive price. Dorms are set in large, double-room, furnished suites giving access to 3 shared bathrooms and 1 shower. In addition, the living room floor was recently renovated and the kitchen is fully furnished. Onsite, and for your convenience, is a dishwasher and a laundry room. Our lockers are super-big and they lock. We are near some amazing parks and sports facilities (Centre Robillard & Jarry Park). Even though such treats as the glass-protected Plaza Saint-Hubert, swimming pools and Little Italy are close by, you could walk across the street and hop on the swift, rubber-tired subway or avail yourself of the efficient network of busses that can "dip" to the ground to assist the handicapped.

I can't really rate that hotel because when we arrived the receptionist said there are no more reservations because the hotel will close in 2 days.
But somehow we could arrange to stay for the weekend. We also recognized that our customers had the same problem.
The hostel was old but nice but I don't understand why it can be still booked in the Internet when it is not valid any more.

The hostel staff was nice and tried their best. Unfortunately the hostel was overbooked because of hostelsclub. There was no way to reach the people from hostelclub! Very upsetting! We even had to pay hostelclub for this "service". However, the hostel let us sleep in the lounge on their three sofas (somehow we managed it with 5 people)! We also paid 60 dollars less that we had to, still it was expensive for such a disappointment!

A homely feel and not too over-crowded. Free internet/phonecalls/breakfast are always a plus!

I really enjoyed staying at Explorers House. The owner will make sure you have a great time during your stay. They provide food, drink, a clean place, extra fun, and you can meet interesting people from the world. It's close to the Central Park and the subway, and is pretty safe both daytime and at night. I look forward to staying here again when I come back to Montreal the next time.

This hostel is joke: we arrived late at night and they had lost our order so there were no beds left. Miraculously, they found me and my friend beds (I don't know what the problem was then) and the room was accessible via an outside staircase so in order to go to toilet in the middle of the night, you had to walk onto the street before entering the main hostel.
The location is very far away from downtown and most of the dorms are 10 beds without locks on the doors so one can easily walk from the street into a dorm. There is also only one shower to share between the 40 beds.
If you want a cheap stay, quite like sleeping on an airbed matress and don't mind weird people walking around, by all means stay here.

U stayed in pied a terre but both hostels are run by the same owner and have similar facilities.
The place was nice but the manager got cranky about people using too much milk at breakfast, I never got a key but then the front door was never locked and there wasn't always someone that was working there in the hostel which could be problematic if you arrive at a bad time.....

great place, really friendly atmoshphere. its just a house that has a few dorms in, then in the basement it lounge with a huge tv. the only bad thing is the cable tv doesnt work and the xbox has broken, so unless you have a laptop, the tv it pretty pointless at the minute. but thats the only bad point and its a very small point at that. the place is very clean, very organised. security is good, no lockers tho. free breakfast and coffee in the morning. metro is across the road and 10 mins ride into downtown. overall very very good place
