Stays in Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles

Families who want to explore Montréal on foot get a strong address here: this apartment-style stay on rue Saint-Denis in the Plateau is a nine-minute walk from La Fontaine Park, where children have room to run, and a minute from La Binerie Mont-Royal, a classic diner. Its perfect 10 comes from 55 reviews. I would choose it for a city break built around walks rather than facilities, since no pool, gym or restaurant is listed.

An eight-minute walk to Jean-Talon Market is the best family argument for Palms Little Italy Studio: fruit, bread and snacks for children are easy to pick up, and Restaurant Corneli Montréal is a minute from the door. It is a single studio, so space is limited and I would suggest it for a parent travelling with one child or a couple with a toddler. Montréal-Trudeau airport is about 23 minutes away by taxi. The perfect 10 rests on just two reviews.

M Montreal is a two-star, budget-tier stay with dorms and private rooms, and for a family I would book a private room rather than a dorm bed. Some rooms have a kitchen, which helps with meals, and the hot tub is a draw after a day out. A bar with live entertainment makes evenings lively, so light sleepers should ask for a quiet room. Vieux-Port de Montréal is nine minutes away by taxi.

I would book Hotel le Coach for a short, no-frills stay in Montreal. Its 9.2 rating rests on about 270 reviews, a sample I trust more than a perfect score from a handful of guests. Wi-Fi and parking are free, Le Vieux Montréal is about nine minutes away by taxi, and the Atateken / De Maisonneuve corner is a two-minute walk. A sushi restaurant is a minute from the door. The airport is around 27 minutes by taxi.

A full kitchen in every unit is what makes Complexe La Voûte work for families: breakfasts and dinners can follow children's routines instead of restaurant hours. The condo-style space gives more room than a standard hotel room, there is a fitness centre, and Wi-Fi and parking are free. Rated 9.2 from 36 reviews, it suits a stay of several nights by car; Montréal-Trudeau airport is about 31 minutes away by taxi.

I would pick Hôtel Le Dauphin if I were driving an electric car. It has an EV charging station on site, which is rare among the hotels I compared here, and a 9.0 rating across about 1,200 reviews. Rooms are simple, with free Wi-Fi and parking, free breakfast and a small exercise room. La Ronde is a six-minute taxi ride away, and the St-Laurent O. / Cartier corner is two minutes on foot. The airport is about 30 minutes by taxi.

A communal kitchen and homemade jam at breakfast give Accueil Chez Francois a homely feel, and some rooms look onto the park. La Fontaine Park is a one-minute walk, a ready-made playground and picnic spot for children, and Papineau / Gauthier is just as close. Rooms are unfussy rather than polished. Montréal-Trudeau airport is around twenty-seven minutes away by taxi.

Hôtel Mortagne is a four-star convention hotel in Boucherville with a dedicated spa floor, and I would recommend it to families who want an indoor pool and some space. The pool and hot tub are joined by a gym and a lounge, and a seasonal grill restaurant handles dinner. The Nobel / Volta bus stop is a two-minute walk and Restaurant Sens three minutes. Montréal-Trudeau airport is about thirty-eight minutes away by taxi.

Fairfield by Marriott Montreal Downtown is a 3-star hotel two minutes' walk from Berri / René-Lévesque station, rated 8.4 across 774 reviews. For families, the useful details are the free breakfast and the kitchenettes in some rooms, which make it easier to feed children on their own schedule. The Montreal Museum of Archaeology and History is nine minutes away by taxi, and the airport around twenty-five. I would book it for a short city break with kids where a metro stop at the door matters most.

Olympia Hotel by Lodgo sits two minutes on foot from the René-Lévesque and Saint-André intersection, near Old Montreal, and the Vieux-Port is a nine-minute taxi ride away. It is a no-frills stay with WiFi and parking, so I would see it as a place to sleep between days out with children rather than a hotel with family facilities. Café Saigon is a minute from the door for a simple meal.

Auberge Chez Jean is a classic one-star hostel three minutes on foot from the corner of Rachel and De l'Hôtel-de-Ville, so I would only suggest it to families comfortable with hostel living and shared spaces. Guests can use a kitchen, handy for preparing simple meals for children, and there are musical instruments to play. Breakfast is raw vegan, which may not suit every young eater. Wi-Fi is free, and the airport is about thirty-three minutes by taxi.

Super 8 Lachenaie/Terrebonne is built around an indoor pool with a two-storey waterslide and a hot tub, so the children have something to look forward to whatever the weather in Terrebonne. Free continental breakfast and free parking keep the morning simple when you are travelling by car. Rooms are plain two-star rooms, and the pet-friendly policy means the dog can come too. I would book it for a short, pool-centred weekend.

Hotel Universel Montreal is a four-star hotel where two pools make life easier for a family or a group, since children and adults need not share one deck. Pet-friendly rooms are confirmed, parking and WiFi are free, and a shuttle service runs from the hotel. There is a fitness centre, a bar and casual dining on site. The Montreal Botanical Garden is a six-minute taxi ride away. Ask the hotel which shuttle routes it covers.

I would choose Hôtel WelcomInns in Boucherville when I want a hot tub and sauna without paying for a dedicated spa floor. It has an indoor pool, a gym and a free breakfast buffet, and its 8.0 rating comes from about 1,100 reviews. Full-service laundry helps on longer stays. The rooms are straightforward, 1195 Ampère is a one-minute walk, and the airport is around 34 minutes by taxi, so I would not pick it for a late arrival.

Imperia Hotel & Suites in Terrebonne works for families who want more room than a standard motel: upgraded suites, kitchenettes in some rooms, an indoor pool and a hot tub. Parents get a restaurant on site and a martini bar for the evening, which is rare at this level. The Groupe Plein Air Terrebonne outdoor area is about eight minutes away by taxi. My advice is to ask for a room with a kitchenette when you book.

HÔTEL SPA CARRÉ ST-LOUIS is a better fit for couples than for young families, though it can work with older children. The draws are a rooftop Jacuzzi, an indoor pool and a restaurant serving Indian and Italian dishes. Sherbrooke metro station is a minute away and La Fontaine Park a ten-minute walk, so getting around the Plateau without a car is easy. Breakfast is served, and the 7.8 score comes from 371 reviews.

Holiday Inn Montréal-Longueuil is a three-star chain hotel by the highway in Longueuil, built around an indoor pool and whirlpool, and I would recommend it to families who want a pool near La Ronde. The amusement park is nine minutes away by taxi. An atrium restaurant and bar are on site, and there is a fitness centre. The St-Charles E. / Geoffrion bus stop is a two-minute walk.

Best Western Plus Montreal East, on the city's east side, mixes standard rooms with whirlpool suites, so parents can choose between space and a soak. Breakfast and Wi-Fi are free and there is a pool on site to keep children busy. The Sherbrooke bus stop is a one-minute walk away for trips into central Montreal, and a Cora breakfast restaurant is two minutes on foot. My advice is to treat it as a calm, practical base.

Hôtel Ô Suites Laval is a straightforward three-star motel in Laval, useful for families who want a simple night with a suite option. Free continental breakfast and free Wi-Fi cover the basics, and parking is free, which matters on a road trip. Do not expect a pool or extra facilities. The Des Laurentides / Normont bus stop is a minute's walk, and the airport is about 26 minutes by taxi. A 7.6/10 from over 700 reviews is fair.

Self-check-in makes late arrivals with tired children easier at this three-star stay in Varennes, on the South Shore of Montréal. Breakfast is included, Wi-Fi and parking are free, and pets are accepted, which helps families travelling with a dog. I would choose it for a calm, car-based trip: Montréal-Trudeau airport is around 47 minutes away by taxi, so it suits families with flexible flight times rather than an early departure.

Comfort Inn South Shore is a plain two-star hotel in Boucherville with modern rooms, a free breakfast buffet, free Wi-Fi and free parking, which keeps a family trip simple and predictable. Pets are accepted and there is a full-service laundry for longer stays. Petinos Boucherville is five minutes on foot. There is no pool listed and the 7.4 score is middling, so I would treat it as a functional base for a car-based visit to Montreal.

Auberge Royal Versailles is a modern budget hotel in east Montreal that works for families watching costs. Suites are available alongside standard rooms, breakfast is served, and the outdoor pool is a welcome break for children in summer. A full-service laundry helps on longer trips. Radisson metro station is a two-minute walk, so getting into the city without a car is easy. The airport is about 30 minutes by taxi. A 7.4/10 from over 1,000 reviews is fair.

Impéria Hotel & Suites Boucherville has the basics a family looks for: an indoor pool, a gym and a sauna, plus a restaurant and bar with a terrace for an easy dinner. Some rooms have a kitchenette, useful for snacks and simple breakfasts, and a full-service laundry helps on longer trips. Bistro Martini Grill is a minute away on foot. The 7.4 score from 534 reviews is middling, so I would book it as a practical South Shore base.

I would book Hôtel Chablis Cadillac only if the nightlife is the point of the stay. Its late-night bar and bold room touches, including dancing poles, are the identity here, and the 7.2 rating across about 670 reviews suggests it divides guests. Breakfast and parking are free, the Montreal Botanical Garden is eight minutes away by taxi, and the airport is around 34 minutes by taxi. For a quiet night, I would choose elsewhere.
