Cheap accommodation near Roland Garros: complete 2026 guide
Looking for cheap accommodation near Roland Garros to attend the tournament from 18 May to 7 June 2026? Good news: by choosing accommodation in the Paris north suburbs, you save 40 to 50% compared with Parisian hotels, while enjoying quick access to the Stade Roland-Garros at 2 avenue Gordon Bennett, 75016 Paris. From Épinay-sur-Seine or Villetaneuse, you reach Porte d'Auteuil in under 60 minutes via Transilien H + RER C, for an accommodation budget starting at 65€ per night instead of 150 to 200€ in central Paris during the tournament.
Why choose the north suburbs to stay during Roland Garros?
Paris hotel prices skyrocket during Roland-Garros: rates start at a minimum 200€ per night for a standard room in the 16th arrondissement or around Porte d'Auteuil. By opting for a furnished apartment in the north suburbs, you halve or even third your accommodation budget.
Roland Garros accommodation in the north suburbs offers several concrete advantages:
- Substantial savings: from 65€ per night for a full equipped apartment (kitchen, washing machine, Wi-Fi), vs 150 to 250€ for a Parisian hotel room during the tournament
- More space and independence: cook your own meals, several bedrooms for families or groups of friends
- Direct transport access: the Transilien H + RER C network reaches the stadium in 55 to 60 minutes without a car
- Free or low-cost parking: several apartments have private parking, a rare and expensive luxury in Paris
For a family of 4 staying 3 nights, total savings can reach 300 to 400€ compared with two Parisian hotel rooms.

Optimise your day at the stadium

Where to park if you come by car
