Latest Review for Le Sous-bois
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
The cabana is a nice idea. But the washrooms were stinking. The location is good. I am not the fussy kind when it comes to travelling but they can do a lot more to clean up the place

Summer is coming with many entertainments. Look out the Festival de Jazz, the Just for laught Festival, Osheaga, Vans Warped Tour and severals others events nearby us. This summer we do have surprises for you guys with BBQ parties and lives bands playing on the terrace! Be a fan on Facebook and get additionals discounts.
We have been of the world's top ten on hostels.com four times! SOO-BWA means undergrowth and we are very artsy and cool. There is no curfew, smoking and drinking is allowed on the terasse. But be careful: if we see you crunch your cigarette on the ground or not cleaning after yourselves we will kick you out! The quiet time has been delayed to 11pm for 2008. Before that, please make some noise, laugh and play your music on the iPod station, play on our guitar and bongo drums. We have many surprises for you. This winter you can also go ice skating in the amazing rink in the old port 5 min walk from here (yes, you can rent skates and the music is good). We are near by many festivals as Picnic electronique, Montreal en Lumières,

LOCATION: In the heart of Old Montréal,within 5 minute walking distance to the Metro and bus routes leading to anywhere else you might want to go, and a 15 minute walk to fantastic bars and cafés and nightlife.
We expect you to help keep the place clean and pleasant.
We have a mezzanine for you with double beds and curtains around each spot, which are quite nice! So if you would like to reserve a bed in the mezzanine, write a C before your name so we know we can put you there, and you'll be all set! These are also great for 1 person as well, if you want a bit more space and privacy. Just be sure to book BOTH beds, even if you're just one person.

431, SAINT-VINCENT, yes, ring at Le Guilleret hotel, it is the same reception. Le Sous-bois is the building in the back.
We are on the very southern part of the island, please locate the port and Old Montreal on the map, it will help you.
St. Vincent Street is one street West of Place Jacques-Cartier. The property is between Notre-Dame and St-Paul Street.
From the bus terminal, you walk south on Berri street until Notre-Dame (pay attention that Notre-Dame is the little bridge crossing Berri) and turn right, walk until St-Vincent.
From the train station, walk East until St-Laurent and South until Notre-Dame and then East again until St-Vincent. You can also take the metro (direction Henri-Bourassa) to Champ-de-Mars station.
From the airport, a taxi is a 35$ flat rate. You can take the aerobus for 15$ per person. City bus is $2.75but it will take forever (about an hour and a half).
-From Aut. Bonaventure (10), take the exit Vieux-Port, drive underneath the highway. On Mills st. turn right, cross the bridge, take De La Commune st. until St-Laurent. Turn left. On Notre-Dame, turn right and on St-Vincent, turn right.
-From 720, take exit number 6. From other streets, just follow the signs for Vieux-Port, Vieux-Montréal or something. De La Commune street follows the seaway, we are near that. You have to go on Notre-Dame, wich is parallel and take St-Vincent down. It is near the town hall and the Pallais de Justice.
And from now, do not forget to bring your passeport if you come from the US !! the custom will ask it to you.
Hope you will enjoy your stay!
Don't hesitate to call for any question!
