Excellent

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.

Great location, not really a b & b never met the owner and not sure what the breakfast arrangement was.
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
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.
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.
Lot’s of dining options within walking distance (0.5 miles). Off street parking behind building was $15 per day which was great. Host was very quick to respond to questions.
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.
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.
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.
