I've never had bed bugs before but i stayed at sous bois before we returned home after a 7 month global trip, bug free. I read the reviews here after i'd booked the room so we went. For the first 2 nights we stayed in the hostel gypsy caravan and it was ok, i figured bugs couldn't live on an... more

Le Sous Bois (hostel) and Le Guilleret (bed and breakfast) are owned by the same family. I called Le Guilleret to book a room and found that there was no availability. They steered me toward a private room in the hostel, which is adjacent. The room cost $60 + tax per night. I think this is expensive for what I... more

Stayed at Le Sous-bois as part of a school trip of 12 students to Montreal for one night/two days. The hostel is behind a bed-and-breakfast and made of a large room with wooden bunk beds. We slept on air mattresses; sheets and pillows were provided. I didn't personally observe bed bugs but another traveller in our group found a single... more

Yes, this place has bedbugs. Even if it didn't, I would not recommend this hostel. The inside is basically a big room with bunks, kitchen, and common areas all grouped together. It is very noisy, and you can't just close a door because there aren't any. If you like to sleep before 3 A.M., this is not the place for... more

Ive been to three doctors and several pharmacists for a bacterial infection contracted at this hostel, whether it was the bed bugs or something else. Its been a week and a half of pure hell and the hostel has been useless with dealing with this situation and will not return my phone calls. They know they have had a problem... more

I woke up in this hostel with about 100 swollen bedbug bites. The staff seems to know about the infestation, but isn't warning people before they stay. These bugs can transmit disease (though it is rare) and can spread back to your home and be terribly difficult to get rid of. I will never return to this hostel. more

The hostel is nice, the people are friendly, but it is noisy (I was in a cabin) and I left with over 30 bed bug bites on my hands alone. The doctor said they'll last a week. The itching is unbearable. I used to love Le Sous Bois but I will never stay there again. more

We had been really excited about staying in one of the cabins during our trip to Canada, and whilst it was quite expensive for a hostel-type accommodation we thought that it would be worth it. Sadly the hostel was a disappointment, mainly due to the fact that the communal area is right next to the cabins and we were unable... more

We stayed here in one of the cabins that are reserved for couples. They are by the courtyard and the hostel's webpage said there would be enforced quiet time and no alcohol in the hostel, so we figured it would be quiet in the cabins. It actually turned out that the staff turned a blind eye to both smoking and... more
