The best youth hostels Canada

Following the trend of boutique hotels, BOHO has set up shop in the Dunham Brewery complex, in the heart of the village. The tone is set! There are shared rooms for three or four people with lockers and shared bathrooms, private rooms with one king or two queen beds and private bathrooms for all, as well as two fully equipped villas for groups of friends and families. Everything is hyper functional, modern and ultra well decorated in neutral tones. We recommend it!

A place for meeting, exchanging and sharing, this hostel, located just a stone's throw from the fjord, works on three fronts: youth hostel, adventure tourism and cultural platform. Accommodation includes a dormitory, two private rooms and two yurts. Other services include a kitchen for preparing meals, a cultural café-bar and a large terrace with panoramic views. The inn also offers outdoor activities in summer and winter (sea kayaking, Nordic skiing, ice fishing, etc.). A must-see!

A real favorite for this address, still little known to travellers! Just under 15 minutes from Matane, this former "village hotel" offers a friendly, authentic and relaxing stopover before the city. Run by Aurélie, Didier and Claudine (Aurélie's mother), the inn has several comfortable private rooms, decorated in a retro and flowery style and impeccable and well arranged dormitories. On the ground floor, you can enjoy the superb view of the St. Lawrence River while enjoying the delicious pancakes from the Les Gamineries café. Near the hostel are Sainte-Félicité Beach and the friendly coastal path (ask Aurélie for all the information).Several evenings a week, in summer, take a seat around the Table du chambreur, which offers a delicious low-cost meal prepared with vegetables from the vegetable garden, especially for the inn's guests. In the lobby, you will notice photos of singer Isabelle Boulay, who gave her first shows at the Manoir, as well as other curiosities about the role of this historic hotel in the small community of Sainte-Félicité, which definitely bears her name well. Be careful, the warm atmosphere of the Manor forces many to extend their stay... It's your turn to test your resistance to the power of the Manor!

The only hostel of this type in the RCM of Papineau, it is the perfect place to socialize and meet travellers from all over the world. It has beds in shared and private rooms. For those who would like to stretch their legs, it is possible to rent on-site bikes, snowshoes and cross-skis (to come: canoes and kayaks).
