M MONTREAL

More of a hotel than a hostel in both pricing and experience.
The good: Central location near the metro, clean and nicely furnished rooms with a smart design (locker integrated in bed)
The bad: No breakfast included, only purchasable at an expensive rate, same with washing machines and dryers (10$ is quite the premium).
The ugly: Does not have the hostel experience, interaction is rare between guests and makes it feel sterile. Price is one of the highest I have seen so far, for that you at least get cleanliness and good furniture.

Too long didnt read: Pricy but clean, more of a hotel with no breakfast than a hostel where you will meet interesting characters

The M is a wonderful place to stay! My travel companion and I have stayed there twice now for a total of 10 nights on trips to visit a dear friend of ours (who conveniently lives just around the block ????), and it was a great experience both times.

The rooms are tidy and stylish, the staff is kind and courteous, and the whole property just has a great vibe. Berri-UQAM is a 5-minute walk at worst, and the Village has so many great shops, restaurants, and attractions.

My only warning is if you have a large vehicle (think like an F-150 or Chevy Tahoe or larger), you may not be able to fit in the on-site parking garage. I was able to get my Buick Enclave in and out okay, but it was a struggle when there were other similar-sized SUVs in the garage. There is both an above-ground lot (not owned by the M) across the street, as well as an underground parking lot in Place Dupuis that can accommodate larger vehicles, so you won't have to park too far away even if!

So yeah, as long as you aren't needing to park a behemoth of a vehicle on-site, the M will almost certainly satisfy all your needs and then some! We'll definitely back whenever we're in Montréal.
