Montreal East Airport Hotels, Rivière-des-Prairies Area
No hotel on this page is beside Montréal-Trudeau Airport. The listings under Rivière-des-Prairies-Pointe-aux-Trembles mostly sit in east Montreal and across the river in Longueuil, Boucherville and Terrebonne, with a few in Laval and Varennes, and they quote taxi rides of roughly 23 to 47 minutes to the airport. That makes them a fit for travellers who start or end a trip on the east side of the island and prefer a pool, free parking or a quieter street to a terminal-side room. Hotel Universel Montreal, Hôtel Mortagne and Fairfield by Marriott Montreal Downtown are the main picks.
Rivière-des-Prairies-Pointe-aux-Trembles sits at the eastern edge of Montreal Island, quiet and residential, with the airport itself on the opposite, western side of the city. Because the borough carries little hotel stock, most travellers heading toward Montréal-Trudeau actually stay downtown, on the South Shore around Boucherville and Longueuil, or on the North Shore in Terrebonne and Laval, then route toward the airport from there rather than from this end of the island. Traffic on the bridges and highways connecting these areas can add real time during rush hour, especially heading west in the morning.
Where to stay
East Montreal and South Shore Hotels for Flights
Airport stays on the east side of Montreal are about distance from the terminal and what you get for it: indoor pools, free breakfast, shuttle service and free parking. The listed taxi rides run from 23 to 47 minutes, so I would use these hotels when your trip is tied to east Montreal or the South Shore, not for a tight connection.
Fairfield by Marriott Montreal Downtown lists one of the shortest airport rides here, around 25 minutes by taxi, and it is two minutes from Berri / René-Lévesque. It has warm rooms, some with kitchenettes, a restaurant and a free breakfast, and it is a nine-minute taxi ride from the Montreal Museum of Archaeology and History. With a rating of 8.4 from more than 770 guests, it is the choice when you want the quickest ride from a downtown property. I would book it for a flight tied to a few days in the city, not for a quiet suburban night.
Hotel Universel Montreal is the strongest pick for a stay that includes the airport trip. It is a four-star hotel with two pools, casual dining, a bar, free parking, shuttle service and Wi-Fi, and pet-friendly rooms are confirmed. The listed taxi ride to the airport is about 35 minutes, and the Sherbrooke / Viau bus stop is four minutes on foot. More than 2,800 guests have rated it, at 8.0. I would choose it when you want a full-service hotel with a pool and a shuttle on the east side of the island and can accept a ride of about half an hour.
On the South Shore, Hôtel Mortagne in Boucherville has a dedicated spa floor, an indoor pool, a gym, a lounge and a seasonal grill restaurant, rated 8.6 by nearly 2,500 guests. Its taxi ride to the airport is listed at about 38 minutes. Hôtel WelcomInns in Boucherville adds a free breakfast buffet, a pool, a hot tub and a sauna at about 34 minutes. In Longueuil, the Holiday Inn Montréal-Longueuil has an indoor pool and whirlpool at about 32 minutes. I would pick Mortagne for a spa night before a flight and WelcomInns for breakfast.
For other needs, Hôtel Le Dauphin in Longueuil lists an electric car charging station and a ride of about 30 minutes, while Super 8 by Wyndham Lachenaie/Terrebonne has an indoor pool with a two-storey waterslide and pet-friendly rooms at about 37 minutes. M Montreal offers hostel-style dorms and private rooms with a hot tub and a bar at about 26 minutes. The Varennes self-check-in property is the farthest, at about 47 minutes. Check the taxi time with the hotel before relying on it for a tight morning departure, and ask about parking.
A traveler's takeFor an airport night when I am staying on Montreal's east side, I would choose Hotel Universel Montreal: the shuttle service, two pools and free parking make a late arrival easy, and the listed taxi ride to Montréal-Trudeau is about 35 minutes. If the priority is the shortest ride, I would pick Fairfield by Marriott Montreal Downtown at about 25 minutes. I would not expect to walk to the terminal from any hotel on this page, and I would skip the Varennes property for an early flight.
5.0Unique Stays - 4113/4119 St-Denis
Airport · 55 reviewsSt-Denis apartment steps from La Fontaine Park
Why guests love itFamilies 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.
5.0Palms Little Italy Studio
Airport · 2 reviewsA studio steps from Jean Talon Market in Little Italy
Why guests love itAn 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.
4.6M Montreal
Airport · 3342 reviewsA hot tub and live music at a hostel-level rate
Why guests love itM 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.
4.6Hotel le Coach
Airport · 270 reviewsA well-reviewed base nine minutes from Vieux Montréal
Why guests love itI 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.

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.
4.5Hôtel Le Dauphin Montréal-Longueuil
Airport · 1209 reviewsAn EV charging station and a nine-rated stay in Longueuil
Why guests love itI 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.
4.5Accueil Chez Francois
Airport · 77 reviewsHomemade jam and park views a minute from La Fontaine
Why guests love itA 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.
4.3Hôtel Mortagne
Airport · 2485 reviewsA full spa floor and seasonal grill in Boucherville
Why guests love itHôtel 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.
4.2Fairfield by Marriott Montreal Downtown
Airport · 774 reviewsKitchenette rooms downtown, twenty-five minutes to the airport
Why guests love itFairfield 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.
4.1Olympia Hotel By Lodgo
Airport · 193 reviewsA short taxi from Vieux-Port, near Café Saigon
Why guests love itOlympia 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.
4.1Auberge Chez Jean
Airport · 167 reviewsRaw vegan breakfast, a kitchen and instruments in the Plateau
Why guests love itAuberge 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.
4.0Super 8 by Wyndham Lachenaie/Terrebonne
Airport · 970 reviewsA two-storey waterslide and free breakfast in Terrebonne
Why guests love itSuper 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.
4.0Hotel Universel Montreal
Airport · 2815 reviewsTwo pools and a shuttle near the Botanical Garden
Why guests love itHotel 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.
4.0Hôtel WelcomInns - Montréal/Boucherville
Airport · 1100 reviewsA free breakfast buffet, hot tub and sauna in Boucherville
Why guests love itI 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.
4.0Imperia Hotel & Suites Terrebonne
Airport · 873 reviewsSuites, a pool and a martini bar in Terrebonne
Why guests love itImperia 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.
3.9HÔTEL SPA CARRÉ ST-LOUIS
Airport · 371 reviewsA rooftop Jacuzzi and two cuisines in the Plateau
Why guests love itHÔTEL 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.
3.9Holiday Inn Montréal-Longueuil
Airport · 1361 reviewsAn atrium pool and whirlpool nine minutes from La Ronde
Why guests love itHoliday 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 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.
3.8Hébergement Grand Montreal Varennes - Accès Autonome

Why guests love itSelf-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.
3.7Comfort Inn South Shore
Airport · 532 reviewsA free breakfast buffet and pet-friendly rooms on the South Shore
Why guests love itComfort 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.

The 7.4 score from 534 reviews is middling, so I would book it as a practical South Shore base.
3.6Hôtel Chablis Cadillac
Airport · 667 reviewsBold rooms and a late-night bar near the Botanical Garden
Why guests love itI 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.
