10/10 Exceptional

This was a lovely set up with a common room available for all the units. I also appreciated the laundry facilities. The room was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom was refurbished and very clean. I enjoyed sitting on the deck for a bit in the evening. The location of the B & B was also great!

This was a good spot for walking and enjoying the residential neighbourhoods of Montreal. Despite being on a street that is busy during the day, it was totally quiet at night. We both got a good night's sleep. The room was clean and met our basic needs without breaking the bank

It was nice to have parking, although there was a $15 dollar charge. The room was clean and so was bathroom. We never met any staff but they were helpful on the phone. Just across the street from the park.

The location was perfect. Easy access to everything by foot or Metro. Also right across the street from a stunning, huge park. The place was very quiet! Not much to look at on the outside, but perfect fine on the inside. Would stay 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.

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.

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.

Chez Francois is kept clean and quiet. Bed and pillows were clean and comfy. Bathroom was clean. The main public room was ok. Could definitely use a refresh and an update. Free tea, coffee and cereal available

It is very beautiful townhouse and room is clean. The host is very helpful and kind. I had real green tea leaves from her kitchen this Fall when I am visiting Montreal. Merci, Xiexie

4/10 Fair

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.

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.

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.

8/10 Very good

The location was great in a more residential/park area with grocery stores and restaurants nearby and much cheaper in price than old/downtown Montreal lodging. This property is more Air B&B with no front desk so check-in was via different 6 digit code locks on front and room doors. Checkin would be difficult without guest having cell phone coverage in Canada as check-in instructions were sent just 2 days before check-in. Parking was CAD 15 per night and just behind property and they wanted a sent photo of your parked car. We dropped luggage at front entrance then drove car around the block to alley and parking location. Reverse this when leaving. The common area had kitchen and TV viewing area for about 5 rooms but never crowded during our autumn weekday stay. The staff are only on phone but were very nice answering questions in English. Property could be a problem for guests with mobility issues or heavy luggage as there are about 15+ steps and no elevator. The laundry dryer was stuffed with sheets our entire stay so not used. As our room was next to laundry, this was good as no noise issue. We walked to old/downtown and back and got 20000+ steps that day but public transit is nearby.
