Explorers House Holiday Makers/ PVT Centre in Montreal, Canada

this hostel was dirty. there was only one bathroom for the whole hostel. the doors to the rooms were always left open. i would not stay here again Samantha, from England ~ 5th Sep 2009

Explorers house was difficult to find and way overpriced! Just staying on the couch there is $15, but you might as well sleep on the floor because all of the beds are uncomfortable/loud air matresses. Also the staff were very rude and extremely unhelpful. I wouldn't recommend it. Leigh, from USA ~ 30th Aug 2009

DO NOT BOOK HERE. I called two days before our planned stay to make a booking, and later the next day to confirm. When we showed up there was no room anywhere in the hostel, and when we called the guy who did the booking and took my credit card number (and who was located in the US somewhere) assured us not to worry, and to just wait around while he "made some calls". He only called back hours later, by which time we had decided to leave because it was too late to find anywhere else to stay. I Kate, from Canada ~ 31st Aug 2009

Showed up with a confirmed group of 15 only to find that there was no record of our reservation. Still waiting on Hostel.com to get back with me to resolve the deposit I left for this no go reservation. Gregory, from USA ~ 17th Aug 2009

I really liked this hostel. The staff was very friendly and accomodating, the location is good, and the other travelers I met there were great! Jessica, from Canada ~ 9th Aug 2009

So dirty! I could not have a shower, you can get sick if you try!! They don't accept credit cards,and some people have to sleep in the middle of the kitchen 'coz they don't know how to manage the bookings. I think that isn't a hostel at all, just a house where you should share your bedroom with the manager...DON'T GO, is the worst place I've ever been! Elizabeth, from Spain ~ 6th Aug 2009

A few miles out of town but good access to subway. For the price not a bad deal. Alexander, from Scotland ~ 5th Aug 2009
