Hey,

I'm headed to montreal one of the following weekends for a four day weekend (depending on weather). and was wondering if anyone has stayed at any solid recommendations for hostels? Personally i prefer hostels that are 'medium' in size, and have a bit of charm to them, and an awesome staff. The coolest hostel i think i've ever stayed at was the Nunnery in Melbourne, Australia. It was as advertised, an old nunnery turned into a hostel...really cool. Any recommendations? I'd prefer to be in Old montreal, the latin district, or anywhere close to the underground (which is awesome!)

furthermore any recommendations of cool bars/restaurants would be cool too...it's about my 4th time in montreal so i kinda know the city a bit, but i usually stay with a friend, he's moved. it's been probably 3 years or so.

thanks!
