Affordable Montréal accommodation options for sporting events

Big team? Little budget? No problem. Montréal has options.
Montréal has many types of hotel properties. But when it comes to teams visiting the city for sporting events, the most luxurious accommodations are not necessarily the most practical. Most teams simply need a good night’s sleep at an affordable property.
At these reasonably-priced options — a selection of university residences and hostels — guests typically have access to important amenities, such as kitchens and washing machines. They also feature common spaces, which are perfect for gathering the team to plan strategies.
For big teams with small budgets, here are some low-cost options for accommodations in Montréal.

Located near Old Montréal and Montréal’s convention centre, Les Résidences de l’UQÀM Saint-Urbain offer many types of rooms: from studios equipped with kitchenettes and private bathrooms to spaces with two, three, or four bedrooms with a living room and a dining area. Linens are included.
