How do I get from Montreal airport to these guest houses?
From Montréal–Trudeau airport, take the 747 bus to the city center, then connect by metro. Several guest houses are near metro stations: Gite Du Survenant is close to the metro to the Botanical Gardens, Homa Homestay is right by Pie-IX metro, and Harmony Room is steps from Monk Station.
Which district is best for first-time visitors to Montreal?

Guest Houses in Montreal
Montreal's guest houses are scattered through neighborhoods that each have their own rhythm: the Plateau's café-lined streets around Saint-Laurent, Ahuntsic's leafy residential calm, and downtown's proximity to Old Montreal. They tend to be smaller than hotels, often a handful of rooms in a converted home, with shared spaces that make them feel more like staying with a local than at a chain.
Prices here range from CAD 33 for a basic downtown single to CAD 160 for a spacious family-friendly house in Ahuntsic with a seasonal pool. Most guest houses offer free Wi-Fi and kitchen access, and several are within walking distance of metro stations, making it easy to explore the city without a car.
The bottom line
These guest houses suit travellers who want a more personal, home-like stay with easy access to Montreal's neighborhoods. If you prefer standard hotel amenities or need specific facilities like parking, consider browsing the related pages for hotels with parking or family-friendly options. For a central location with more services, the central hotels list might be more fitting.
