So much more than a place to spend the night

A collective of youth hostels to host you as you explore a territory with a thousand and one adventures with people from all over. Our playground follows the Saint Lawrence River. That’s why we’re called Saintlo.

Hostels with truly authentic local character and a great price

With our super-affordable accommodations, you’ll feel like a real local while your travel budget won’t take a hit. That’s right! Each hostel has its own local vibe, and they’re all ultra-clean and (obviously) safe and secure.

Meet-ups with wonderful people

Meet-ups with wonderful people

We call this sociable accommodation. A hostel supported by a warm and welcoming team who are excited to share their part of the country with you. You’ll get to hang out with travelers from all over and make new discoveries with them.

 

An inclusive space that embraces the planet

An inclusive space that embraces the planet

Of course, composting and recycling are integral to our hostel lifestyle. Yet we think even bigger. We’re all about diversity and openness to the world and every human in it. We put positive actions into practice. For example, the woodworking space created by our Saintlo Montréal team offers a little corner where anything on-site can be repaired.

Because we’d like to offer you tons of different adventures, we think differently

We have three hostels located in the three big city centres – Montréal, Ottawa and Toronto.

And we’ve got an extended family.

Also part of our family are other independent hostels in Québec and Ontario. One thing is sure: with any hostel you choose, you’ll get to hang out with people from everywhere.

This is the Saintlo collective.

Saintlo foundation

We want to facilitate access to travel for young people experiencing difficulties and allow them to flourish. We listen to their projects and we open the door of our youth hostels to them. Thanks to our programs, we can help them realize their dreams.
