Accommodations

There is, with the exception of the first option below, no hotel in walking distance of the University and unfortunately no on-campus option. Three possible choices of hotels are listed below.

You are, however, welcome to look for any other option, e. g. downtown, for a hotel. Please make sure that you are in reasonable walking distance from a metro stop. Downtown to campus will take you 25-35 min by Metro.

The D. Z. recommendations

Two recommendations from a well-traveled member of the organizing committee, both with a limited number of rooms.

ALACOQUE BED & BREAKFAST REVOLUTION

Bed and Breakfast right in the middle of downtown.

Pensione Popolo

Charming Bed, no Breakfast directly above Montreal's best Tapas place and close to the famous Plateau area. Probably a bit noisy on the weekends.
