“3rd Visit A+ as usual”

Petite Auberge Les Bons Matins

3/3 found this review helpful

Having stayed at Les Bons Matin on our last 3 visits to Montreal, the most recent being this past New Years for 3 nights, I can attest to the accuracy of their website photos and also to the warmth and charm. It is not run like a traditional B&B but like a small inn. The breakfasts are amazing, served in a cozy, casual bistro-like atmosphere with the morning sun streaming in. The minute you sit down you are served freshly squeezed orange juice in a stemmed glass and a choice of coffees/hot chocolate/tea. Your order for hot entree is taken which includes bacon, ham and/or sausage and eggs any style from omelets to eggs benedict. While you wait, you serve yourself from a charming sideboard and antique table from a choice of croissants, bagels, muffins, breads, cheese, fresh fruit salad, mini quiches, jams, yoghurt, cereal etc. in addition to being offered freshly made waffles and 2 kinds of french toast by staff circulating from table to table. It is true that Argyle Street itself is nothing special, (translates into quiet) but it is certainly not isolated. There is a Metro Stop (Lucien-L'Allier) steps away (less than half a short block)at the end of the street. This is the main subway stop for the Bell Centre. One of the nights we stayed was a game night and we didn't hear a thing. People exiting the Metro head north or south but not west along Argyle. And while you may not be able to walk to Vieux Montreal in 15 minutes you can surely get there in 15-20 minutes via the Metro. You can literally walk from the B&B to the Metro, travel 3 stops on the orange line, exit at Place-D'Armes, walk a couple of blocks south and you are there. I know this because we did it. We go to Vieux Montreal every visit. The Metro in Montreal is very clean and efficient and easy to figure out. And the best part...when you come back after a day of walking/shopping/whatever, the Metro is so close that you feel like you have been dropped off at your door. Another bonus is you are two short blocks south of Ste-Catherine at Crescent. If you have done any research you will know this is a great area for shopping and restaurants. If you want to shop some other areas travel a little further along the same Metro line to Berri-UQAM (University of Quebec at Montreal). Walking east will take you into the Village (got a great set of cheese knives at a tiny appliance shop) or walk north along St-Denis where there are lots of restaurants, small stores/boutiques for blocks.

My partner and two friends stayed here on our first visit to Montreal. I'll echo what others have said: lovely place, incredible breakfasts, and 1/2 block away from a metro stop. The neighborhood was quiet. Now for the quibbles: you don't get help bringing up your bags to your rooms, and this can include three flights of stairs. It is not accessible, so if you have mobility issues, this is not a good place. The staff, while friendly, weren't that helpful in giving suggestions for places to go; we had better luck relying on our guidebooks. Also, during the last night they let the guy who shovels their walks stay in the suite above us. He brought a friend to stay, and they were incredibly loud. I had to get up at 4:00 a.m. to tell them to be quiet. I later found out the friend had "personal problems" per the front desk. I hope this was a rare event, but wanted to alert others. I want to emphasize that these are quibbles, but for some travellers, important. We would go back!

“Great Little Gem”

Petite Auberge Les Bons Matins

2/2 found this review helpful

I have lived in Montreal for 2 years so I would consider myself as someone who knows Montreal quite well. The location is great - right downtown on Rene Levesque and Guy, which is close to St Catherine for shopping and Crescent for nightlife. The breakfast is phenomenal! The
rooms are incredibly cute and the home-made cookies is a nice touch. The budget rooms' bathrooms are fairly tiny but go for the deluxe rooms or suite as it is still cheaper than a regular $200/night hotel. I can't wait to go there with a big group of people and renting
the apartments! It is absolutely great for the value. Montreal is a fairly safe city to walk around, even in the wee hours in the morning so there is no problem getting back to the hotel at night. I recommend
this to all of my friends when they ask me where they should stay in Montreal.

“Wonderful Montreal stay”

Petite Auberge Les Bons Matins

2 Dec 2007
4/4 found this review helpful

The last time we were in Montreal, my husband proposed. We were looking to rekindle that magic by finding a lodging that would greatly add to our vacation. Les Bons Matins was exactly what we were looking for! Located on a charming street only a few blocks away from the heart of the city, we stayed in room 703, which was beautifully decorated; exposed brick wall, charming decorations, and plenty of privacy, we were thrilled with the entire experience. The minute we arrived, we were greeted by a charming man named Alex who was quick to offer suggestions for our time in the city. Free beverages and cookies were on hand, and we were free to use their Internet services. Each morning we were treated to a wonderful breakfast, which not only included gourmet cheeses, pastries, and fresh fruits, but made to order eggs and coffee bar. We truly felt like royalty throughout our stay, and highly recommend Les Bon Matins.

My wife and I stayed over the September 14th weekend in suite 601. The room was very nice, exactly what was shown on the website. The cookie jar (filled with home made cookies) was outside our room.

The staff (all of them we spoke with) were great, with plenty of information about how to get to various places. The location of the hotel is fantastic, you can literally throw a rock out the front door and hit the subway station it is so close. Easily the best way to get around Montreal.

The breakfasts were simply awesome as was the wait staff. The second day we were there there was a table of very ill mannered guests who were berating the staff. The girls handled the situation with grace and poise.

This will be our new home when visiting Montreal.
