Best Neighborhoods to Stay in Saskatoon

Downtown and Riversdale

Saskatoon's urban core spans both river banks. Downtown on the east has business hotels and the Remai Modern museum. Riversdale on the west bank is the revitalized food and arts quarter, with farm-to-table restaurants and independent shops on 20th Street. Hotels average $100-180 per night. This is the best base for first-time visitors.

Broadway

Broadway Avenue south of downtown is Saskatoon's most walkable neighborhood strip. Restaurants, vintage shops, and live music venues line the avenue. Hotels average $90-150 per night. The area connects to the river trails and Kinsmen Park, making it popular with couples and visitors who want a local neighborhood experience.

Stonebridge

This newer suburban development on the south end has chain hotels starting at $55 per night. Big-box shopping and family restaurants sit nearby. Stonebridge works for budget travelers and families who want lower rates with highway access for day trips to Prince Albert National Park (2.5-hour drive).

University Area

The University of Saskatchewan campus occupies a scenic river bend east of downtown. Hotels here average $85-140 and serve academic visitors, conference attendees, and families. The Meewasin Valley Trail runs directly through the campus grounds.

Seasonal Hotel Prices in Saskatoon

Summer (June-August) is peak season, with rates averaging $110-200 per night during festival weeks.

Winter (November-March) brings the lowest prices, with budget rooms at $55-70, though temperatures regularly drop below -25C. Spring (April-May) sees rates start to climb as the weather warms.

Getting Around Saskatoon

Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport (YXE) is 10-15 minutes from downtown. Taxis cost CAD $15-22 ($11-16 USD) to central hotels. Uber operates in the city with pickups at the airport. A car rental (CAD $45-80/day) is recommended, as Saskatoon is spread out and public transit coverage is limited. Downtown and Broadway are walkable, but getting between neighborhoods requires driving.

Travel Tips for Saskatoon

Saskatchewan does not observe daylight saving time, staying on CST year-round. This can cause confusion for visitors from provinces or states that do change clocks. Winter travel requires serious cold-weather preparation: plug-in block heaters for rental cars are standard. Summer days are extremely long, with sunlight until 10 PM in June and July. Tipping at restaurants is expected (15-20%). The GST (5%) applies to hotel stays. No provincial sales tax on most prepared foods.
