Why there is no breakfast anymore - Il n'y a plus de d�jeuner parce que...

2008-03-21T18:28:48Z

People were complaining that the bagels were heavy, that there was no more milk or that there should be some fruits and cereals.� In fact, the Montreal bagels are internationaly known and for 19$ a day, we cannot provide linen, free calls in North America, free wireless high speed internet, free laundry AND full breakfast.� On top of that, we had to wash the dishes everyday because guests would not take two minutes to do their own...� so sorry�for those�who are use to�have breakfast here, it was a pleasure to give it to you, and many thousand�dollars,�I�have to mention it.� We might bring it back for the summer, depending if people still reserve at a higher price.�

Les gens se plaignaient souvent sur l'internet, disant que les bagels �taient lourds, qu'ils avaient manqu� de lait ou de th�, qu'il aurait fallu ajouter des fruits et des c�r�ales.� En fait, les bagels de Montr�al sont reconnus de loin et pour 19$ par jour, on ne peut offrir toutes les gratuit�s et un d�jeuner complet.� En plus, les gens ne faisaient pas leur vaisselle, ce qui ajoutait au poids de travail des employ�s qui voyaient bien qu'il y avait un abus.� Alors d�sol�, apr�s trois ans, on cesse d'offrir le petit d�jeuner, �a a �t� un plaisir de vous l'offrir, et des milliers de dollars, il faut le mentioner.� Peut-�tre va-t-on le remettre cet �t� mais il faudra que les clients r�servent quand�m�me � un prix plus �lev�.

Trop de neige cette ann�e! Just too much snow this year!

Portez donc des bottes imperm�ables, parce que lorsque tout cela va fondre, on a beau faire de notre mieux pour faire �couler tout �a, ce sera quand m�me difficile!

So wear waterproof shoes, because when it will all melt, we cannot guarantee your feet won't get wet.

Bring comfortable warm slippers

You should also bring a bag to put your dirty stuff because we don't appreciate seeing it!� We like when you help us keeping the place clean just by keeping in mind that we see your stuff.� Also, don't bring your pillow or sleeping bag.� That is for your safety because there is always a risk something alive and harmful will get into it and invade your house!

Naima is having another baby!

2008-02-13T16:21:56Z

This montreal hostel is a project started by a courageous couple with children.� It is not owned by a big company or a big organization.� Every solution is creative and it shows in the ambiance.� There are some values behind all that that needs to be shared and told, like to never have a curfew (what a rude thing to do), to provide good security and a hygienic place.� Also, we would never close the reception at night just in case someone's flight is late.� We would never attract the customer with low prices and charge extra for blankets, internet, laundry and earplugs.� But back to the baby: it is a boy and we all look forward to meet with him.

No more bed bugs!

2008-02-13T16:13:55Z

In 2007, we had to face big challenges with these manifestations of a creative Nature.�� We spent many thousands on facing the problem.� The product we were using at first was the permethrine, but the bugs are resistant. We hired another exterminator with a variety of products. We haven't had a case in a while now.� But to be honest, we can never take anything for granted.� In fact, they travel in the luggage so they could colonize the place again.� Because of that, we need you to be careful for us.� The whole experience has been very painful for us and we appreciate your understanding.

New: smoking allowed on the terrasse.

2008-02-13T15:28:01Z

For the last three years, smoking was not allowed on our superb terrasse.� But this year you could smoke but please use the ash trays.� An extinguished cigarette on the�ground is disgusting.� Many thanks!
