Where to Stay in Montreal on a Budget

 

 

Choosing a Neighbourhood Based on Your Travel Style

 

• Short tourist stay: Old Montreal and downtown, within walking distance of major attractions.
• Local atmosphere: Plateau-Mont-Royal.
• Nightlife and culture: the Latin Quarter and Quartier des spectacles.
• Travelling by car: East Montreal, particularly Saint-Léonard, is more convenient and affordable, with easy highway access and free parking.

 

 

What Type of Accommodation?

 

Boutique hotels in Old Montreal offer plenty of atmosphere, but rates and parking costs are high. Downtown hotels are convenient for business travellers. Hotels with kitchenettes offer real savings for extended stays, while apartment hotels are well suited to medium-length stays.

Practical Tips

 

Factor parking into your budget, as it can cost $30 to $50 per night downtown. For stays of one week or longer, prioritize value for money and a kitchenette. Book directly for the best rate.
