Very well maintained!

During my recent stay at Hostel la jeunesse, I had mixed feelings about the experience. **Location**: The hostel is situated in a convenient and accessible part of town, close to restaurants, and major attractions. This made exploring the city quite easy and enjoyable. **Room**: Unfortunately, the room left much to be desired. The windows didn’t stay open properly, turning the room into a sauna, especially during warmer days. It was quite uncomfortable and made it hard to relax or get a good night's sleep. The beds, while clean, were extremely noisy, creaking with every movement. This was quite disruptive, particularly during the night. **Amenities**: Neither the kitchen nor the room had paper towels or tissues, which was inconvenient. **Cleanliness**: On a positive note, the room was clean, and the housekeeping staff seemed diligent in maintaining a good standard of hygiene. This was a relief and a definite plus amidst the other issues. **Overall**: While the hostel has a great location and clean facilities, the uncomfortable room conditions and lack of basic amenities like paper towels and tissues detracted significantly from the experience. With some improvements, particularly in room maintenance and amenities, this hostel could offer a much more comfortable and enjoyable stay.

What a treat! I laughed reading through the reviews before enthusiastically booking this terrific, centrally located hostel near the beach/bridge in Magog. Check in was easy, folks were friendly, kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to cook on site, and the rooms and hall bathrooms were tidy, adequately appointed, and super clean. Staff treat the place like home, and the rules, explicit in French and English, permit clear boundaries and good behavior. Also, the cafe on the main floor has excellent coffees and some food items, the sunny area for eating is warm and cosy with a Southeastern exposure and great light. The only disappointment was that I hoped to practice piano during my sojourn for the eclipse--and the upright looked like it was well cared for, but a note on the instrument and instructions from staff was that it was not permissible. That was the sole time I wished I had packed my guitar, but my sack was already 20 kg and I hiked all around the area finding the perfect spot to watch the heavenly planetary bodies do their dance. Thanks for having us--if you don't know what an auberge de Jeunesse is, and how it is different from a hotel......then maybe this kind of communitarian spot is not for you....but for the rest of us who travel lightly......c'est parfait!

The Magog Auberge de Jeunesse is one of the best hostels I have stayed in. It is located in a former church rectory with a well-furnished kitchen and spacious dining areas. The staff are first rate, speaking French and English. Special thanks to Anne-Sophie. Breakfast was bountiful. I highly recommend this facility designed to accommodate travelers of all ages at a reasonable rate.

It felt like home. We had everything we needed. Staff is very friendly. It is near restaurants and stores. We loved the café in the hostel and sitting on the porch!

It is a really nice and small youth hostel. Staff is helpful and understanding. Unfortunately our AC didn't work and there weren't enough parking spots available. However we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to all other visitors of Magog.

Friendly staff, helpful with information.

Very nice.

This property is central to many activities. Great if you want to explore Magog on a budget.

Awesome service

Great place to visit with kids, close to everything in town, nice staff, decent breakfast. We will come back!

First and foremost, this is an Airbnb type of property NOT a hotel. No TV no shampoo etc except beddings. Some Airbnb indeed provide TV and shampoo. This property listed as “breakfast” included but we guess what it means is kitchen is available you can buy and cook, except we saw some apple/oranges on the table. The staff was very friendly. No one available when we checked out.
