Hotel la centre ville is pretty much right across the street from it! 1 minute walk!! Nothign fancy but rooms were clean!!

Try expedia.ca, travelocity.ca or aircanada.ca , westjet

If you do a search on VJ you should find many hotel reviews.

1 can take a shuttle from the airport to any downtown hotel. Much cheaper than a cab. And cheaper if you buy a round trip ticket. Purchase the tickets just to the right of the departurtes area.

I've just sent off an email to McGill's residences to see if I can book a dorm room for a few nights. I want to explore Montréal a bit (haven't been there in ages), and I can't afford shelling out $100+ a night (or, rather, I can but would rather not as I'll be spending more time exploring than sitting in a hotel room!). If the dorms aren't available, I'm going to book something through hotwire or expedia.

I think Dave used hotwire.com and got the Delta in Montreal for under $100

I found WestJet to have the best fare when I flew from Ontario. It will depend where your flight originates. Good luck and enjoy Montreal - it is well worth visiting for a few days. Be sure to see Old Montreal - incredible.

More detailed info in regards to accommodations at McGills, in case you're interested. (I just received their emailed reply today) ... I'm going to reserve a room for a few days at their Royal Victoria College location, which is only 1km away from the Consulate. Barring that, I'll go with a friend's recommendation: http://www.auberge-alternative.qc.ca/prices.htm (their private single rooms are on par with McGill's single rooms' prices).

McGill's email reply:

when I went, I took the train from Toronto and stayed at the hostel. The train ride was nice, only about 4 hours (there are commuter trains that take longer tho, so watch which one you book yourself on!) and the hostel was clean, but a bit noisy. There's no curfew there as there are at some, so there was people coming and going at all hours. I wasn't able to sleep much anyway because I was nervous about my interview the next day anyhow, so it wasn't such a big deal. And I slept on the train home for a bit.

I stayed in a dorm room not a private, so I shared with 3 strangers. One of whom snored. And the bathroom was incredibly small, but when all you need is a place to lie your head and a shower in the morning, the hostel wasn't too bad.

The walk from the hostel to the consulate is about 20 to 30 minutes, but a taxi might not cost you too much.

If you take the train, you can put your luggage and stuff in a locker there. They only have lockers available for ticketed passengers.

**edit to add** if you stay at the hostel, take a travel alarm clock with you, or set the alarm on your cell phone if it has one. There's no clock in the dorm rooms.

Hotel Centre Ville is where I stayed. The rooms are not worth the price they are asking, however the conveniance of the location is!

I was going to book tickets with Canjet but I found Air Canada was exactly the same price, and had more flights. I was able to get in at night, get my interview, then get out that afternoon.
