Le Sous-Bois in Montreal

zuletzt aktualisiert am 05.01.2010

Artsy with lots of common space and a huge yard, Le Sous-bois is a hostel in an open space BIG WINDOWS AND LOTS OF PLANTS.

Le Sous-bois is pronounced like Le SOOBWA and it means the area under the dense forest. We just finished a funny kitchen, nice café area, the wireless internet, the voIP phones available for you (free long distance in North America!), the coffee machines, the 6 showers, the toilets, and so on.

Every space is semi-private, with a large bed and curtain to close. All non-smoking, even in the yard. No curfew.

This place has been opened for two months and everything is thought to make you have an amazing and comfortable stay. Everybody says it is the BEST HOSTEL THEY EVER STAYED AT. Don't miss it, come and see us, we are very excited to meet with you!

Dear couples, we know it is hard to travel and stay in bunk beds all the time because you can't afford a private room. So we have a mezzanine for you with double beds and there is curtains around each spot, very nice! So when you make your reservation, write a C before your name so we know we can put you there and you will be all set!

And if you want a private room, you can always take a caravan: private cabin built in the yard, very cute!

Also please note that prices do not include taxes.

Hope you will enjoy your stay!

Your welcoming committee,
Naima, Marc, the little Coralie (1 year old!), Marianne and Valerie.

PS: Thank you for being sensitive with the fact that we go to sleep at night. We give service 24h, but if it is possible, we prefer to answer your questions and make reservations during the day!
