Lovely little B&B near a large park. Many different restaurants, pubs and cafés within a 5 to 10 minute walk. The owner was very quick to answer all questions and assist us with any needs. You can have a breakfast of cereal with coffee or tea, but there is also a café very close that provides a full breakfast at a reduced price, and great Guatemalan coffee. The room and bathroom was spotless with everything we needed. We will definitely stay again when in Montreal.

This is the first B&B I stayed. I have to say it met my expectation of a 3* hotel I would normally stay. Communication was great and on prompt. I felt safe accepting this location safe just how promptly my questions were answered. Luckly, other room occupants also very quiet, considerate and kept the place neat. I would stay here again.

We had a comfortable stay at Chez Francois. Our room faced the street, but was surprisingly quiet. Access to the park was lovely, and we enjoyed walking in the Plateau neighborhood nearby. This place is not convenient the Metro, however.

The smoke detector in the hall was beeping both days we were there. It was sold as an B&B. A loaf of bread next to a toaster and a bowl of apples isn’t a breakfast. The people that worked there were short - that must explain why the didn’t know there was a huge spiderweb in the entryway. No problem my head took care of it, it was in a good location.

Beautiful room with view by the park, the staff was helpful with wifi and we got switched into a bigger room that was available! Such a beautiful little apartment! Really, my only complaint of I can even call it that, was that the breakfast food was limited to one croissant per person but lots of cereal, milk and tea/coffee!

Wonderfully located across from Parc Lafontaine , several bus stops that take you downtown to place des Arts. A short 10 min walk from Ave Mont-Royal (right direction)which is car free during the summer months, full of restaurants, cafes , supermarkets, and delicious bakeries 😋 You can also grab a city bike (just walk up rue Gaultier (left / left direction) and bike down Ave de Lorimier straight to the Olympic Park or the beautiful Botanical Gardens.

Garbage spread all over the front of surrounding buildings. Back lot where you park not clearned of snow so was a sheet of ice when the snow mrlted and then frooze. Room cleanliness could have been better. Great location for walking to local cafes, restaurants and shops. Felt safe.

4 stars??

Our accommodations were fine but I would not rate this as a 4-star B&B. The rooms were located very close to one another around a sitting area that was clean but shabby. Our room was very small with a double bed that was uncomfortable. There was no cleaning service during our 3 night stay. Coffee service was good. Parking space costs extra behind the building appreciated. Must be able to climb steep stairs to access accommodations.

I never actually made it to the hotel, since Montreal did not plow streets or parking spaces at all. Literally impossible to navigate Montreal, drive, park, etc., so I had to turn back, leave the city, and stay elsewhere. Lost the entire cost of my one night prepaid stay.

A charming little hotel

A nice, comfortable bed and breakfast in truly Montreal style, just across from the park. I took the first room size upgrade for one person, based on the website photos. The kitchen offering a simple, self-serve breakfast had a home like atmosphere. Also a great location, I enjoyed an hour long walk from the City centre rather than taking a taxi. One thing I found strange about the check in - while I exchanged texts with the staff to confirm arrival time and the entrance codes, there was no mention of threre being no main entrance, or no staff iaround at any time. It seemed somewhat "cryptic" finding notes on the doors directing to the next entrance, as the only entrance turned out to be upstairs through the external stairwell. This could have been better explained by text/email prior to arrival.
