About

Welcome to Auberge L’Apéro!
As one of Montreal’s longest-running hostels, we’ve been welcoming guests with warmth and affordability for over 15 years. We’re not about luxury—we’re about value. Our facilities are simple and well-used, yet always clean and functional. What truly makes us special is our unbeatable downtown location—just steps from major attractions, public transit, nightlife, and festivals—saving you time, energy, and transportation costs.
Unlike party hostels, we offer a quiet, restful environment with spacious beds so you can recharge and make the most of your journey. If you’re looking for boutique-style luxury, we may not be the right fit. But if you value affordability, convenience, and a safe place to rest between adventures, Auberge L’Apéro is the perfect choice.
We welcome both short- and long-term travellers, creating a diverse community of guests from all over the world. Every stay is unique, but what unites everyone here is the same goal: enjoying Montreal without spending a fortune on accommodation. To make your stay easier, we provide large personal lockers and even offer storage rental after checkout.
There’s no curfew on how late you come back—you’re free to enjoy Montreal’s lively nightlife at your own pace. Best of all, at L’Apéro you’re more than just a guest—you’re part of our family. Many travellers return year after year for our warm hospitality and personal touch.

There is a 3.5% surcharge for Visa/Mastercard/AmericanExpress.

The Auberge L'Apero demonstrates the absolute ideal of a hostel. Located in the Golden Square Mile neighbourhood in downtown Montréal the customers will find themselves in an incredibly hospitable environment. Hosted from my experience by Lucy and Peter, two very kind characters who are very tranquil, considerate and highly intelligent. The rooms themselves are charming and rustic with light hardwood floors and a mix of drywall and brick interior. Washrooms are clean, the customers respectful.
