About

An auberge translates as an inn and ours is situated in a 1875 warehouse, which we restored and rejuvenated. The basic attributes and rich textures of the old city building: the rock walls, the old hardwood floors, the arched windows and high ceilings.

The Auberge Alternative is an budget boutique hostel. The art of travelling moves us through internal as well as external landscapes and often a creative urge demands to link the two. The Auberge Alternative is an eco-friendly and artsy hostel providing accommodation and resources to travellers and artists alike to join us in redefining bohemia. Welcome to the Alternative.

Please note that we are on three levels, with no elevator.

Summary of traveller reviews

The Alternative Hostel of Old Montreal is praised for its excellent, central location in the historic district, making it easy to explore the city. Guests frequently highlight the friendly and helpful staff, the well-equipped and cozy common areas, and the cleanliness of the property. The kitchen facilities are also a strong point, noted for being well-stocked. Some recent feedback mentions that rooms can be warm and that there are occasional issues with limited bathroom facilities and wobbly beds.

I had a good experience here overall, the staff wereways friendly and very helpful. The beds and bathrooms were pretty mediocre but not uncomfortable. The location was a huge plus for us, right in the Old Town of Montréal
