This is a step back in time! What an absolutely charming place to stay! Squeaky old wooden floors, narrow stairways and lovely vintage furniture! Clean and homey!

This eloquent older building has a lot of character having been one of the first boarding houses for single miners in Val d’Or in the early years.
It has everything you need. It is in a quiet area of town yet close to important transportation routes.
The owner, Nico, is very pleasant and accommodating. I would highly recommend the Auberge L’Opailleur.

Peaceful and Comfort
The stay was exactly what I'd hoped. Staff was amazing. Helped me recover items I'd forgotten very quickly. Steps shoveled at 6 am before anyone was awake. Great environment. Beautiful little mining village.

Beautiful building, probably an old family home. In a really nice part of town, and however few shops that are in the area. The room was really nice and had a sick, coffee maker (pod form) tv, and fan. For some reasons the room was really hot despite having a fan running the whole time I was there. Bathroom was big and clean.

Very nice room with independent lock, beautiful (shared) bathroom, excellent kitchen facilities. All communication was via email, no one was on site, but the instructions were very clear. Lots of parking (I parked in the back). Nice restaurant just a couple of walking minutes away, good brewpub a longer (but comfortable) walk away.

This is a unique stay in the heart of the historic mining district. It was nice to walk around and see all the original log homes that belonged to the miners.
Our room and adjoining bathroom were both immaculate. It was nice to have use of the kitchen and dining room. The Auberge has a sitting area in the enclosed porch and outdoor patio seating.
It is unusual to remove your shoes at the door but I do understand.
I did not realize immediately that I had to lock the front door behind me (thought it would lock automatically) or that I had to re-enter the code when leaving our room.
It was a lovely, quiet place to stay.

Not much shops around & I never see staff. But I love that place it’s quiet & very clean. I feel safe when I travel alone. But I would prefer a room on the ground level I got a medical problem

Overall I really like the place. I put 4 stars because it was a little bit difficult to sleep at night. An air purifier will be good in the room 302.
