Nice clean and tidy property, good location,didn’t see any staff was given access codes for front door and then room which was fine. Nice communal area for tea and breakfast cereal / milk / coffee supplied. Aircon in room was a lifesaver as it was a heatwave!

It is not quite a bed and breakfast place, but we enjoyed coming in and going out unannounced. There was no front reception or a lobby per se. We liked our seamless stay with keypad entry and Irish goodbye. We would highly likely to stay here again. The room was tidy with everything we needed.

If you are looking for a bed and breakfast, keep looking. There is no breakfast included just a shared kitchen. Coffee tea and dried cereal were provided. The balcony could use some tlc. The room itself was good but definitely could have been cleaner. There was layer of dust on the bathroom fan so thick i was scared to turn it on.

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.

This is not a hotel, fyi. Feels like an airbnb in someone's walk up apartment. There was a terrible smell in my room from the bathroom- moldy. The listing said breakfast was included but it wasn't. As I was driving out of town I was getting messages about not leaving cash in my room for the parking, which was never requested while I was there. Beautiful park across the street, and a good location, though!

Gerry

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
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.

The lobby and our room smelled terrible. The steps going up to the entrance, which was on the 2nd floor, had pealing paint and cracks. Certainly made your worry they were sturdy. There was trash on the sidewalk in front of the building, and the area parking area behind the building was littered with trash that had obviously been there for a while.

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.
