Map & live prices by our partner
The cheapest hotels in Montreal start at 39 CAD per night, with most budget options ranging from 39 to 117 CAD. For that price, you're getting clean, no-frills rooms, often with kitchenettes or free parking, and always within walking distance of public transit. Look to the east end or the Village for the best deals, where you can find rooms for under 100 CAD that still put you minutes from downtown.
Downtown Montreal is surprisingly affordable for budget travelers. You can find rooms for as low as 53 CAD at places like Hotel Saint-Andre, which is near the Gay Village and Rue St-Denis. Slightly more, at 89 CAD, gets you a spot at Travelodge By Wyndham Montreal Centre, which is walking distance to Old Montreal. The trade-off is smaller rooms and fewer amenities, but the location can save you on transport costs.
For the price of a standard hotel room, you can often get an apartment-style suite with a kitchenette or full kitchen in Montreal. This is a great option for longer stays or families who want to save on eating out. Properties like Hotel Le Roberval and Hotel Les Suites Labelle offer this setup, with rates starting around 101 CAD. You'll have the space to cook your own meals, making your stay even more budget-friendly.
Old Montreal is one of the city's most charming neighborhoods, and while it's known for luxury, you can still find budget stays. Look for hotels like Hygie Boutique Hotel, which is a short stroll from the Old Port and offers rooms from 71 CAD – a steal for the location. Other options like Hotel Le Roberval put you equally close, with rates from 103 CAD. Expect older buildings and smaller rooms, but you'll be steps from the cobblestone streets and historic sites.
Staying near the Bell Centre doesn't have to cost a fortune. The hotel Le Sand & Stone is a short walk from the arena and offers central access to the Underground City, with rooms from 153 CAD. For something cheaper, consider the Travelodge By Wyndham Montreal Centre at 89 CAD, which is about a 20-minute walk away. You'll be close enough to catch a game or concert and still save on your stay.
The Lasalle area offers some of the most budget-friendly options in Montreal. Recently renovated properties like the Hotel-Motel & Suites Ideal provide a straightforward, affordable stay starting at 99 CAD. These out-of-the-way locations often include free parking, making them a smart choice for road-trippers. While you're a bit away from the downtown core, the metro and bus routes can get you there in under 30 minutes.
McGill University is in the heart of downtown, and you don't have to pay a premium to stay nearby. The Hampton Inn Montreal Downtown offers rates from 154 CAD and is just steps from Chinatown and a short walk to the Old Port. For a more budget-friendly option, Hotel Espresso Montreal Centre-Ville is around 119 CAD and is close to public transit, getting you to the campus in minutes. These hotels give you easy access to the university and the city's attractions.
While Montreal city limits are filled with budget hotels, those looking for a chalet-style stay will need to look just outside the city. Within the city, the closest you'll find are the apartment-style suites like those at Hotel Les Suites Labelle, which offer more space and a home-away-from-home feel. For a true chalet experience, you'd typically head to the Laurentians, a short drive away, but expect to pay more than you would within the city.
While specific monthly rates aren't listed, you'll generally find the lowest prices during the winter months (January to March) and in November. For example, you can find rooms for as low as 39 CAD at places like Hotel Abri Du Voyageur, which tends to stay cheap year-round, but even mid-range options like Hotel Zero 1 may drop below their typical 117 CAD rate during off-peak times.
For a first visit, the downtown core or the Latin Quarter are your best bets. You'll be within walking distance of major sights like the Old Port and the Underground City. Cheap stays like Hotel Saint-Andre (from 53 CAD) keep you central, while slightly pricier options like the Travelodge By Wyndham Montreal Centre (from 89 CAD) offer even more convenience without breaking the bank.
The easiest way is the 747 express bus, which runs 24/7 from the airport to downtown and stops near many of the budget hotels. A single fare is around 11 CAD, and it drops you off near Berri-UQAM, a hub close to several affordable options like Hotel Le Roberval and Hotel Les Suites Labelle. Alternatively, a taxi or rideshare will cost around 40-50 CAD, depending on traffic.
Yes, the areas where most budget hotels are concentrated – downtown, the Village, and around the Latin Quarter – are generally safe and well-lit at night. You'll find plenty of restaurants and bars open late. Just be mindful, as with any city, to stick to well-trafficked streets. The Village and downtown are particularly lively, offering a vibrant nightlife right outside your door.
For major festivals like Just for Laughs or the Grand Prix, book months ahead. Outside of those peak times, you can find last-minute deals, especially on weekend stays. However, for the best selection of budget rooms under 100 CAD, it's wise to book at least 2-4 weeks in advance to secure the lowest rates at places like Travelodge or Days Inn.
Montreal's budget hotel scene is as diverse as the city itself. You'll find everything from no-frills rooms near the metro for under 50 CAD to stylish 3-star properties in the downtown core that still come in under 150 CAD a night. The cheapest options cluster around the central districts like the Village and Latin Quarter, while slightly higher prices buy you access to the Old Port or the convention center.
What makes budget hotels in Montreal special is the combination of location and amenities. Many offer free parking, kitchenettes, or even complimentary breakfast – perks often missing from more expensive hotels in other cities. The key is knowing where to look: the lower-priced stays are often just steps from the metro, making exploring the whole island easy without breaking the bank.
This set is perfect for travelers who want a clean, comfortable base in Montreal without paying a premium. It suits backpackers, students, and anyone who'd rather spend their money on poutine and museum tickets than on a fancy lobby.
