Part of the worldwide Hostelling International chain, the two-pearl HI-Montreal is well located in a residential neighborhood downtown near attractions and public transportation. Spartan shared rooms are clean and no-frills, but they're reasonably priced for travelers who need little more than a place to bunk. A few private rooms have the added bonus of a flat-screen TV and in-room bathrooms, though their atmosphere is equally stark. But free breakfast, hostel-organized activities, and the hip bar/lounge make this hostel a friendly communal place. Rates at nearby hotels such as the Hotel Espresso aren’t much higher on certain dates, so shop around before assuming this is the best deal in the city for private accommodations downtown.

The contemporary, three-and-a-half-pearl Courtyard by Marriott Montreal Downtown is a good choice for leisure and business travelers alike, situated only a block from the convention center and an easy walk to the subway station and Old Montreal. Its 210 rooms are spacious and clean with large, modern bathrooms. The rooftop indoor pool and fitness center are a big plus. But rates can be pricey on certain dates, and downtown Montreal has many comparable hotels from which to choose in equally convenient locations. Some, like the Embassy Suites by Hilton Montreal, could offer better rates so it might pay to compare before booking.

The Hilton Garden Inn has a convenient location near McGill University in Downtown Montreal, and spacious, clean (if generic) rooms with mini-fridges and microwaves. The indoor saltwater lap pool is attractive, with excellent city views and a connected outdoor terrace, and the fitness center is large and bright. But the property lacks distinctive charm.

Situated across from Le Vieux-Port, this 45-room hotel reflects the charm of Old Montreal. Its beautiful, airy rooms -- some with water views -- feature details like wood-beam ceilings, exposed stone and brick walls, wrought-iron beds, and pine or bamboo floors, plus lovely bathrooms with big glass showers. The larger, apartment-style "lofts" are in a separate building, and designed for long-term stays. The hotel's seasonal rooftop terrace restaurant offers phenomenal water views, and the full free breakfast served at Taverne Gaspar each morning is a perk. But because of the location near restaurants and bars, noise in the rooms may be a problem, especially during the summer months. Travelers may want to compare rates with LHotel Montreal, another Old Montreal property housed in a 19th-century structure, but with a hip lobby bar, small gym, and a collection of contemporary art, including works by Botero and Warhol.

The 39-room Abri Du Voyageur Hotel is a value property with rustic character in the Quartier des Spectacles, Montreal's entertainment district. Air-conditioned rooms have hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi, but some share bathrooms and have outdated elements, though Studio Apartments with kitchenettes are available. In a lively area filled with bars, restaurants, and summer festivals, the hotel sits atop an adult entertainment store, which might rattle some travelers, and guests have complained about noise -- the building dates from 1876, and there is little soundproofing. Guests can arrange for on-site massages, and there's a computer and printer in the lobby. For more stylish budget-friendly rooms, try LikeAHotel - Le Prince Arthur, just off Boulevard St. Laurent, a 10-minute walk from the arts district.

This mid-range seven-room boutique hotel in Montreal's Latin Quarter is housed in a stone-front refurbished home dating to the late 1800s, close to tons of eateries and boutiques. The rooms have wood floors, dark plantation shutters, and in some, brick accent walls. Those facing the street tend to experience noise from the lively bar/restaurant scene nearby. Suites are much larger, with living rooms closed off by French doors; suite bedrooms are also more spacious and have private balconies overlooking the Rue St. Denis. Bathrooms are basic and clean with contemporary walk-in showers, though no tubs. Free breakfast and Wi-Fi are additional perks, as is the little cafe La Brioche Lyonnaise, which stays open nightly until midnight.

The upscale Le Saint-Sulpice Montreal is one of the more modern options in the heart of Old Montreal. All 108 units are suite-style and have kitchenettes and Nespresso machines; some also have fireplaces or balconies. There aren't many additional features at this fashionably cozy hotel other than the beautiful restaurant with garden terrace, but guests get free access to an off-site gym and discounts at a nearby Scandinavian spa. Travelers looking for more amenities may want to check out the InterContinental Montreal at the edge of Old Montreal, which is a bit less expensive and has a saltwater pool and a sauna on-site.

The 27-room Auberge Le Pomerol is a cozy, mid-range budget-friendly property that’s centrally located within walking distance of downtown Montreal and the Old Port. Adjacent to the hotel is the Berri QUAM metro station, where three lines convene. Rooms are well-maintained and come with flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi, and a free continental breakfast is delivered to rooms every morning. Most rooms, though, are small -- especially bathrooms -- and size and layout can vary widely in this converted apartment building. While attractively priced, there are several similar properties in central Montreal that may offer even better rates, such as Hotel St-Denis.
