4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Montreal

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Montreal is between January and March, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For those on a budget, staying for at least 2 to 3 days is recommended to fully appreciate the city’s key landmarks, historical sites, and cultural experiences. During your visit, you can explore stunning architecture, intriguing museums, vibrant art scenes, and impressive cathedrals. Don't miss out on the urban atmosphere, lively music venues, captivating theatre performances, and charming cafes that add to the city’s appeal. Festivals during this period also provide great value for money, ensuring a memorable trip without breaking the bank.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To explore last-minute deals to Montreal, start by visiting the Deals or Last-Minute Deals section on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates on accommodations as your travel date approaches. Enable email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, increasing your chances of saving on your stay. The Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you find the best hotel deal. With these strategies, you could be among the first to know about price drops or room availability for your last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you potentially save on your stay in a Montreal hotel. If you're seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised touch and sometimes a better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we’ll suggest more cost-effective dates to enhance your chances of securing a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated close to the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Montreal's outstanding public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel further afield that remains well-connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
