If you are arriving from the airport, there is a flat rate for all taxi cabs going anywhere in the city core of about $35. There is also a very useful shuttle bus that goes directly downtown. Its website is: http://www.admtl.com/passenger_services.aspx?LangType=1033&id=48

A few of our conference participants from last year stayed at the Montreal Hostel (514-843-3317) which is downtown. Another hostel is Globetrotter Hostel (514-521-9628) in the Plateau, which is one of Montreal's most well known neighbourhoods. You can get to the university on public transit from each of these spots.
There are several good and affordable hotels in the city. The one closest to the Universit� de Montr�al is Hotel Terrasse Royale (514-739-6391) on C�te-des-neiges Street. If you're interested in staying at a bed-and-breakfast place, there are some nice ones on Laval avenue. If you're Google-ing Montreal accomodations, you'll probably want something that's in the downtown core, in the Plateau Mont-Royal district, or in the C�tes-des-neiges neighbourhood. But there are lots of other cool neighbourhoods too. Don't hesitate to check back with us to verify location.
