Local knowledge for Montreal
Where to stay
Most budget travelers end up in the Plateau-Mont-Royal, within walking distance of St-Laurent Blvd and Mont-Royal Ave, where the hostel density is highest and the metro is nearby. Mile End, just north on St-Laurent past Laurier, runs a bit quieter and has a few cheaper beds if you book early.
Getting around
- Get an STM day pass (a modest flat fare) on arrival. The Orange Line connects Plateau to downtown in under 10 minutes and runs until around 1am on weekdays.
- Eat at BYOB restaurants on Mont-Royal Ave or St-Denis. Pick up a bottle at any SAQ first and skip the 300% restaurant wine markup entirely.
- Do not book the last week of June without checking the Jazz Festival dates. That overlap with the Canadian Grand Prix is when hostel rates spike the most, sometimes doubling overnight.
When to go
Beds are cheapest November through March, and fill up fastest late June through July when festivals stack back to back.
