Just returned from a four day trip to Montreal where we stayed at Accueil Chez Francois B&B…read more While there are many reviews on Trip-advisor - there are few on here so it's time to sing the praises of this excellent B&B. The location is next to a nice park on a residential street but within easy walking distance to many restaurants. While the Metro is a 15 minute walk, there is a bus that leaves right out front every 10 minutes that goes to the Metro. It was an easy walk downhill to the Metro in the morning and a quick bus ride up the hill after a long day of walking around. We knew we would be arriving in Montreal earlier than the 4pm check-in time and we had prearranged to park in their parking area upon arrival planning to take a walk and check-in later. When we stopped in at that time to let Laurence (who works on the weekend) know that we were there, she told us to bring our things in then as the room was ready!! The room was great - spotless - quiet - with a comfortable bed. The room has it own bathroom - it was small but immaculate and had everything we needed. We were in room 5 at the back of the house - we even had a little outside balcony to enjoy. The room is close to the kitchen so you can hear breakfast being made (around 7:15) but we are up by then so it was not problem. The other rooms are further from the kitchen so I suspect quieter in the morning. Breakfast was made to order each morning by Francois, the owner. The coffee was good - the food was better. Eggs, waffles and french toast with some fruit as well as muffins each day. Francois was very helpful each morning providing tips and information as we made plans for the day. During the stay, there is always tea and coffee available as well as use of the refrigerator, etc. Since the kitchen is only for the B&B (and not the owner's personal kitchen), you don't feel like you are intruding or invading anyone's space. We were so tired the last night and didn't feel like going out so we went to Jean-Talon marche and grabbed a baguette, some local cheeses and a bottle of wine and sat on the little balcony. Overall, this is a great B&B - it is spotless, comfortable, friendly, and low-key - all the things I look for!

My husband and I came to Montreal for along weekend away. After some trouble getting in touch with…read moreanother bed and breakfast, I read the excellent reviews for the Gingerbread Manor and contacted them. The hosts immediately got back to me and were polite and professional. Upon arrival, the hosts ushered us to our gorgeous room and gave me instructions on how to park my car in the optimal garage. I HIGHLY recommend booking the garage; so much is walkable from the Gingerbread Manor that we didn't use the car again until we returned home. The room was huge, with vaulted ceilings, crown mounding, and it's own bay window with sitting area. The available Roku with the tv provided music and entertainment and we enjoyed playing cards in the room one afternoon. Breakfast was more than ample and quite delicious. My husband is a celiac and the hosts prepared gluten-free options for him that were delectable. Over all, breakfast was one of the best meals of the day. I cannot recommend the Gingerbread Manor enough. The hosts were professional, kind, and very helpful.

The breakfasts and other offerings were plentiful, interesting, and filling. The owners are quite entertaining, with unique stories. Toilet and shower rooms were very clean, with amenities. A few cons: lots of old stairs for suitcases, power outage in the neighborhood meant no lights for a bit (we used our phone flashlights, but a large flashlight in the room would have been welcomed/used), be ready to converse with a few breakfast guests on time (expected at a b and b, so not really a con but you need to be awake), and we had a room without a bathroom, and that's a little difficult for older guests like us.

My husband and I stayed at Le Gîte Dézéry B & B last weekend while visiting Montreal. We enjoyed…read moreour stay so much we'd like to stay again. We were hosted by Gilles who has been running this place for over 20 years. He'll definitely make you laugh and make you feel welcome. He cooks amazing breakfasts every morning between 8-10AM. Our room was great. The bed was comfortable and the place was quiet. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of our room. There's a nice brunch spot as well as a large grocery store within a few minutes walk. It had been quite some time since I stayed in an old school bed and breakfast. This experience made me want to stay in more of them again! The personal touch and care we received can't be matched in a hotel or an air bnb. I highly recommend staying at Gilles' place.

Outstanding micro hotel that really did remind me of the French auberges I've stayed at. It's not…read morequite so homey -- the proprietors aren't living on-site -- so it has more in common with boutique hotels than true auberge or B&Bs, but the service was exquisite and incredibly attentive, albeit only there for a limited window in the afternoon, and that was true to the name. The 1860's building is a bit of a warren, but that added to its charm in our opinion; you'll never stay in a place quite like this one. The rooms themselves are quite up to date, and other than a few eccentricities (the toilet lid kept sliding off, and one of the wall outlets without a lamp on it turned out to be on a wall switch, so our phones didn't charge overnight!) quite comfortable. We did have a short problem with somebody blasting music so loudly it came in through our interior-room window around 11 PM, so the sound proofing could use a little help, but we otherwise didn't hear any city sounds at all. The air was not controllable; part and parcel of being in an old place. Fortunately we were visiting when the weather outside was comfortable and the air circulation was good enough that despite our inability to control the temperature, it was fine and relatively fresh. We heard not a peep from other guests at night. As noted, there are no elevators, and if Canada had a Canadians-with-Disabilities Act like the US ADA, this place would probably have to shut down; there's just no way to make a lot of the rooms here accessible and you have to go up and down the short stairs yourself with your gear (although plenty of help was offered by the staff). Parking is also, well, city parking. We found street parking on the side but the instructions about how to get a billet at the parking kiosk needed some improvement. The only fault I have with the location is it's quite a haul to the nearest metro station; otherwise it's fantastic, in the heart of Plateau Mont Royal, across from the park of the same name as the Inn, easy to get to a lot of things if you're car or bike mobile. I neglected to ask if they had a place to put bikes; if you can bring a bike, this would be a great spot for a bike-based visit to our favorite city. The breakfast is extra (included with some packages) and was a lovely classic continental, with fantastic Montréal bagels and pastries. There was also what looked like a nice selection of smoked meats / cold cuts that looked very tempting, but we keep vegetarian these days; sigh. So tasty looking. We had a fab little time in the small lobby/breakfast area, and honestly, that was the part that really was reminiscent of our younger days staying in country auberges. One small quibble idiosyncratic to us: at the management's request, we downgraded from a room with two beds to one with one to accommodate a family with younger children who needed the extra space, in exchange for one with a King bed and a rollaway for our teen. Unfortunately the rollaway was terrible and he had a terrible night's sleep, while we snoozed away blissfully on our incredibly comfortable big bed. But note I'm still posting five stars: it was that pleasant.

I booked a room here but the window in the room would not open plus there were bars on the window…read more I didn't like that. It was a first floor room but still. They have me another room that was smaller but still need on the window but the window opened. The fridge was in the closet and it was hard to get to i t without disconnecting the tv. and the door opened in the reverse side. So I had to use the main kitchen fridge. Very disappointing. I paid over $170for the room so it was ovErpriced. Typo the iteration also had bars on the window but it opened. It was not a good stay. It was awful.Typo the other room(not iteration) also had bars on the window but it opened. Excuse my disgusting Amazon tablet. Amazon does not make decent tablets. Manager was not friendly. There's central air conditioning. They control it. It was a bit too cool. It doesn't sound like much thought given to the comfort of guests. The shower had insufficient water pressure so it was a light spray plus the maid forgot to unblock the drain so the water was up around my ankles. It was gross. I had to rewash my feet and unblock the drain so the water would drain. After the manager showed me the rooms she said that's all they had. She sounded like a drill sargeant. She said that they have my card number and will take the money out to pay for the room. So she barked out take this room or the other one. As the room was booked through atravel site it would be hard to cancel for free.

While most of my experience in Montreal was absolutely awful (not necessarily because the city…read moreitself was awful, but for a variety of reasons), our stay at this motel was excellent. The price was reasonable, and the service was very friendly. Our room was absolutely adorable, as was the neighborhood. The location was great, as it was close to a lot of restaurants (although our experiences with those were not as great) and within walking distance of a Metro stop. Also, for breakfast I was expecting your typical rolls and orange juice, and maybe some cereal, but there was a great selection of different breakfast foods and the dining room was very cute. I would definitely stay here again if I was going to Montreal, and I would recommend it to anyone visiting!

Breakfast is included, and is an informal, made to order, affair. The kitchen is vegetarian, so don't expect bacon. But the scrambled eggs are better than I can make at home and the company is delightful. You can bring take away here and eat at the big dining table, or cook dinner, just be respectful of their no-meat kitchen. While mont royal is my favourite room I've had the chance to sneak a look at almost all of the other rooms and each has its own unique charm. It's an old house, so expect creaks, and walk lightly. See you again soon!

Stayed here for our honeymoon - we definitely chose the right place for us! A beautiful old home…read morewith gorgeous (if very squeaky) wood floors and great architectural detail, but with lots of white paint and minimalist furnishings to keep the feel modern. It reminded us of home since we live in New Orleans, yet felt just more luxurious. The Marie-Anne suite downstairs is particularly wonderful. We were lucky to receive an upgrade for our first 2 nights and stayed there before moving into the small upstairs room that we had booked (the St. Laurent) for the remainder of our stay. The claw foot tubs in both rooms were great for relaxing after long days exploring the city on foot!! Breakfast was a delight: fresh fruit & croissants, yogurt & granola, delicious juices, even eggs cooked perfectly to order. That definitely exceeded our expectations for what would be available in the mornings.. The location is another of Casa Bianca's best aspects. It faces the park of course, and then it's surrounded by streets full of interesting shops & restaurants, which makes for days full of fun walks and great shopping. We ended up having to buy a duffel bag for everything we picked up along the way, and we didn't come here to shop much! Public transit is pretty easy to deal with too, although it's on the high end at $3 a person (at least that includes a transfer or two). Sophie, the manager, is a great hostess and her assistants are very friendly as well. We got some great recommendations for nearby restaurants, jazz bars, etc. Check in here and let them take care of you!

This is one of those places that has some great points, but definitely isn't for everyone. If you…read morehave mobility issues or a large vehicle and need parking, this is not the place for you. It is an old set of residences that have been converted into a B & B. I have a Jetta, so I could get in and out fairly easily, but I wouldn't be sure of anything much larger than that. Also, whether from the street side or the parking lot side, you're going to have a hard time getting around with a large suitcase. And if you yourself are larger than average (even if you are simply tall), the bathroom may also be a struggle, as it is really smushed into a small space. All that being said, it is a beautiful building and you can't beat the location. It is right by a subway station and in easy walking distance to Bell Centre. I felt perfectly safe walking back after the Hab's game. And leaving was pretty convenient too, as it is really close to a highway ramp.

He is especially rude to women and he acts like he knows me well. But I don't even know him. The location is good being close to a nice part of downtown all within walking distance.

Its a condo style place and you rent out the rooms and share the "communal place" which you dont really need anyway. There is a kitchen and a living room and a balcony but we rarely used it unless we were eating Patryck's fantastic 3 course breakfast! So, if you stay here, every morning he prepares a gourmet 3 course breakfast, hence the name bed&breakfast. You can request anything, and he will make it. The first morning we had a bowl of fruits in the shape of a happy face! It had oranges, pinapples, canteloupe, and kiwis! I'll update photos (I think they will be the first on yelp?). the second course was caramalized cinnimon apple crepes with sweet syrup, and the last course was chilled yogurt with bluberry topping. The second morning for first course we had fresh figs, grapes, canteloupe and grapefruit. the second course was spinach ommelette with balsamic tomatoes and wheat toast. The third course I forget because I didnt take a photo and I forgot. Sorry patryck, but I am sure it was delicious! The rooms are spacious with a window, ac/heater, huge bed, tv and closet. the complex has wifi and a very nice and clean bathroom. The beds are comfy and Patryck is such a sweetheart and so nice! He can guide you anywhere to music festivals, kinky adventures, bar hopping or clubbing. He's from France but his English is cute. A+! I'll be coming back again :)

When we arrived Patryck explained shoes must be removed when going into your room. I don't have a problem with that since I take my shoes off when I walk in the front door of my home. I was amazed how CLEAN my feet stayed while I was there. (I wish I could say the same for my own home lol). I stayed in the Inspiration room which is the smallest room. I originally planned to travel solo but ended up traveling with a friend. The room was still big enough for both of us. I was a bit concerned about not having a private bathroom, but never had a problem...well once...but I didn't have to wait long :) otherwise the bathroom was always available. This was my first experience sharing a bathroom...but it was all good. Everyone raves about the breakfast and I understand why. THREE COURSES! Who can eat that much food? The breakfast was amazing and I felt bad because I could never finish everything! Patryk asks you what time you would like to have breakfast and BAM it's done. He cook everything himself with some help from a young man. The location was phenomenal. You're walking distance from Beaudry station (approx. 10 minutes of walking) so it's super convenient. We were so close to The Village - I liked they have the street blocked off for pedestrians only in the summer time. It was always crowded with different types of people. The Latin Quarter is an easy walk as well. There's also a bike rack/rental right in front of the B&B if you're so inclined. I didn't try the bikes but would love to next time I visit. It's a very bike friendly city. I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else in Montreal!!! Thank you Patryck for a wonderful stay in Montreal!!!
