The Spotlight on Alt Hostel

Historic Charm Meets Backpacker Vibes in the Heart of Old Montreal

Alt Hostel (also known as Auberge Saint Paul) is a cozy, budget-friendly hostel set in a charming historic building in Old Montreal. Just steps from the Old Port and major music venues, this laid-back spot offers simple accommodations with a social traveler atmosphere. With free Wi-Fi, air-conditioned rooms, and a 24-hour front desk, it’s a solid base for concert-goers looking to explore the city’s nightlife and culture without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hostel is less than a 10-minute walk from some of Old Montreal's top music venues, making it easy to get to and from shows on foot. The 24-hour front desk means late-night check-ins after a show are no problem, and the shared lounge is a great place to unwind with fellow music fans. While it's in a vibrant part of the city, the rooms are surprisingly quiet for a good night’s sleep after the encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a low-cost, social stay near the action
  • Solo travelers chasing down their favorite tour dates
  • Couples spending a weekend enjoying shows and local charm
  • Fans looking for a quieter, relaxed environment post-concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who'd rather spend on tickets than hotels

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the shared kitchen means you can whip up snacks post-show or prep for a full day of festival-hopping. Dozens of eateries, late-night pizzerias, and cafes are within walking distance, and many stay open late into the night. Breakfast options abound nearby, perfect for a slow start after a long night.

Nightlife Options

Old Montreal is packed with nightlife hotspots just minutes away. Whether you're into chill lounges, cocktail bars, or full-on clubs, you’ll have no trouble finding a scene that suits your post-gig mood. While the hostel itself doesn’t have a bar or live music, its central location more than makes up for it.

What People Say

Guests love the location, often calling it “perfect for exploring and getting to shows.” The hostel is also praised for its cleanliness, affordable rates, and friendly staff. Travelers love the social atmosphere and say it's a great place to meet other concert-goers and backpackers.

Areas for Improvement

The shared bathrooms may not be ideal for everyone, especially after a long night out. And while rooms are clean and functional, they’re fairly basic—don’t expect luxury extras. Some guests note that it can get a bit noisy in communal areas, but earplugs usually do the trick.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a no-frills, super-central place to crash after the concert, Alt Hostel is a smart and social choice for music fans in Montreal.

Superb

Liked: Common spaces right in front of the reception comes with kitchen, three fridges and some couches. Plenty of room to sit down. Open space generated conversations where I met lots of nice people. Bath towels were available for purchase for $2 each (August 2025). Close to station and bus stops, also walkable to lots of places.

chill place, great staff

Liked: The hostel is in a vibrant part of Montreal (the old port area), and provides basic facilities in a relaxed and friendly manner. The place is well managed and staffed by competent and friendly employees and volunteers ( the desk person Meghan was extremely helpful with using the metro and getting around the city, for which I am very grateful!). The atmosphere was relaxed and respectful, making for a pleasant and comfortable stay; I would stay at the hostel again, and would recommend it to friends.
Disliked: not sure

Good but strict yet strange

Liked: Very clean, perfect location
Disliked: Taking off shoes at the entrance was a bit strange to me. When I was coming from out, I was not comfortable.The reception was like soulless place. I wanted to eat my food but the vibe was not so positive. I just disliked the atmosphere of the lobbey.Also, the receptionists were not polite nor attentive.Overall,good.
