Practical information : Accomodation Canada
Budget & Tips
Of course, prices vary greatly depending on the type of accommodation chosen. For example, a dormitory bed in a youth hostel will not cost the same as a suite in a 5-star hotel. In the low season, a nice room in a hostel or hotel can be found in a price range of $80 to $150 CAN, a price that increases - and can even double or more in major cities - in high season or during major events. It is also important to note that accommodation in Vancouver and Toronto is generally expensive compared to other major Canadian cities. And this applies to all types of accommodation.
Remember that the prices quoted are always exclusive of taxes. Not only must you add sales tax (between 5 and 15% depending on the province or territory), but also the hotel tax (or tourist tax), which differs from one city or province to another (for example, 5% of the nightly rate for Winnipeg, 4% for Calgary, Ottawa and Toronto, 3.5% for Montreal, etc.). All forms of payment are accepted, but smaller hotels may limit themselves to cash, traveler's cheques and/or debit cards.
To be booked
As a popular destination, it is advisable to make reservations in Canada, especially during the peak summer and winter seasons. Don't wait until the last minute to make a reservation if you are planning to attend the Calgary Stampede, the Toronto International Film Festival or the Quebec City Summer Festival, as the hotels are sold out during these events. Of course, it is easier to get a last-minute reservation in the regions than in the city, except for major tourist destinations where reservations are not a luxury.
What's very local
The cottage is a true Canadian way of life, and it's everywhere, whether it's in a national park, on an island or in a private wilderness complex. And Canadians are just as enchanted by log cabins as visitors who dream of their "cabin in Canada". There are also outfitters, hunting, fishing and resort camps that number in the hundreds across the country. Authentic "all-inclusive" experiences in the great outdoors, they offer camping, inns, cottages and even unusual accommodations (houseboats, Amerindian teepees, yurts, etc.).
For food lovers
Breakfast is often included in the price (or at a small extra charge) and regional products are plentiful in the city and the region. Many hotels and hostels also have renowned restaurants featuring local cuisine, both traditional and contemporary. And with many Aboriginal communities across the country, you can even treat yourself to a Native American or Inuit-flavored gourmet experience.
Smokers
Smoking is generally prohibited in hotels, including on the balconies of rooms and on the terraces of hotel bars and restaurants. Smoking must also be kept at a distance from the door of the establishment and its terraces (generally 9 meters). Of course, depending on the type of accommodation, there may be some exceptions: it is often possible to smoke on the balcony or in the courtyard of a Bed & Breakfast and some hotels even allow smoking in the room, but this is very, very rare.
