Hôtel Y Montréal

Montréal


The YWCA’s hotel welcomes both sexes to rooms that are basic but clean – and good value for the city. If you don't mind sharing a bathroom, opt for the Auberge floor, with clean, quite small private rooms with a sink. Despite the location on busy Blvd René-Lévesque, it's fairly quiet, with rooms on the 6th and 7th floors.

Guests can use the kitchen or laundry facilities, and there's a thrift shop and unaffiliated cafe on the ground floor. Unfortunately, the Y no longer lives up to its name – there’s no fitness center or pool. Money raised goes to Y programs.
