10/10 Exceptional

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!
Neil, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable accommodations, nice neighborhood, easy access to public transportation, fabulous family and pet park directly across the street
Janice, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a great place to stay! Right on Parc Fontaine, which is fantastic, and a short walk to busses and metro. Charming and comfortable. We would definately stay there again.
Scott, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location. Easy check in.
Marc-Andre, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Valerie, 1-night trip

Everything was clean and ready for our stay. The host was exceptionally kind and helpful! We hope to return!

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Vaheesan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Kathleen, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Satisfied - exactly as advertized; great communication.
Christine, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.
Donald, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Seet Chee, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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

Directions to correct door could have been clearer when sending door codes to the client
Carmen, 4-night trip

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.
Paul, 2-night trip

Besoin d‘un peu de nettoyage et de rafraîchissement..
Robert, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Small B & B opposite a park and reasonably close to restaurants and cafes. Parking was available for a small fee.
Sharon, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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!
2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Nikki Lin Ju, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location, not really a b & b never met the owner and not sure what the breakfast arrangement was.
Peter, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quiet, clean and conveniently located place. We enjoyed our star there a lot. Thanks a lot! Next time we come to Montreal we will stay here again. All the basic things we need withouts unnecessary and costly extras.

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
Chantale, 2-night trip

Easy check in.
patrice, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Lisa, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Confort, calme, emplacement, tout était ok

Très agréable séjour chez François Entrée en autonomie facile Très bon emplacement pour visiter Montréal à pied Endroit calme, en bordure du parc Lafontaine. Bouilloire, cafetière à dispo en salle commune à toutes heures, c'était top.
