Daniel Soucy and Michael Banks, two of the friendliest and most urbane hosts you're likely to run into, will go out of their way to make you feel like a house guest rather than a customer—if you're lucky enough to snag one of their 10 rooms, that is. Some regulars would rather delay their vacation than stay anywhere else. And no wonder: the hotel lobby doubles as an art gallery and the rooms have brass beds, stone walls, exposed beams, whirlpool baths, and lots of fresh-cut flowers. For breakfast there are selections such as salmon omelets and French toast, all served in front of a fireplace that's full of flowers in summer and crackling logs in winter. Pros : exquisitely personal service and easy access to Vieux-Montréal`s best museums. Cons : rooms need to be booked far in advance and parking is a hassle.

What's not to love? Really I can say that...Between Miguel and Martin they were just wonderful. I felt in love with the city of Montreal, but what was the deal breaker was that hotel.Talk about a treasure. The old fashion charm building with the modern day art is very impressing plus too hear the church bells ring from my window was a treat. Waking up to the smell of fresh croissants and the best cup of Joe aka coffee and girl could ever have. And even though I don't like eggs I finish the world best omelettes. The staff is just so pleasant and very helpful with where to go and what to see I'm so grateful. Plus if you ever have the chance to meet the cutest host of them all Elliot [the dog] then your trip was all worth wild. It almost makes this city girl willing to give up her life here in NYC and rent a room at this hotel.

We stayed here in March for 3 nights and had a wonderful time. The rooms are large but cosy with lovely comfortable beds. Daniel, Mikael and Martin were wonderful hosts and we felt like part of a family. The breakfasts were incredible - we travel a lot and they were probably the best we've encountered. The location was terrific and everything about the place was perfect. We would recommend it to anyone and would certainly go back
