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

Donald

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

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.
