Breakfast both tasty, ample and convivial. Our suite’s terrasse was very spacious and comfortable. I cannot imagine having anything but a satisfying experience here regardless of the season.

Great place to stay in the epicenter of the Gay Village. One block from the train station. The room was perfect. Comfortable bed, pillows and very clean. The delicious breakfast every morning was a nice plus. Philip and his partner were very nice. Would definitely stay there again.

Great stay at a fantastic B&B.
Fantastic stay. The hosts were extremely nice, informative, and accommodating. The B&B was beautiful. I could not find anything in the building that needed to be fixed or improved. The neighborhood was nice. I highly recommend staying at the B&B du Village and my wife and I would stay there if we visit Montreal again.

This space had everything we needed for a two-day stay in Montreal. The cottage was clean and modern, with a full kitchen in case we wanted to cook or heat leftovers. There was onsite parking hidden from the street for a small fee. Staff was very helpful in explaining local amenities and attractions. The location was excellent-on a quiet street one block away from a main walking strip with many options for eating, drinking, shopping, and entertainment. The Metro was a couple blocks away. We did not drive at all during our stay! Everything we wanted to do was within walking distance or near a Metro station. We would definitely stay here again!

After many years of visiting Montreal, this was by far our favorite stay. Sylvain and Darren are such wonderful and helpful hosts - excellent communication from the start and throughout our stay. The breakfast was superb (we cancelled our Sunday brunch rez in order to have one more breakfast here!). Our room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Many great restaurants and shops right around the corner and walking distance to festivals - including Old Montreal and the Old Port area. The metro is also close by and very easy to use. We can't say enough - BBV is truly a gem!

This was an amazing stay, with some great hosts who made stay even better. Their breakfasts were fantastic with several homemade items like croissants, yoghurt and granola. They also brought to the table incredible foods from local suppliers. Location was fantastic and you could walk to any of the key areas of Montreal. I would definitely go again and stay with them as their hospitality is amongst the best I’ve seen

The B&B du Village is located in a great neighborhood for restaurants, parks, and the Metro. I can't wait to come back to B&B du Village.

We had a very comfortable stay in the cottage, and we appreciated the excellent communication and friendly welcome from our hosts. We slept well in a our clean, quiet "home" with a comfy bed. We didn't cook (food & drink being such a part of the Montreal experience) but the cottage seemed well equipped for it. Ste. Catherine area is downtown and feels like it (not so much a neighbourhood and not our favourite of the city) but we were close to 2 of the metro lines and minutes to the venue for a concert we were attending. We definitely recommend the B&B, and during the months when Ste. C becomes a pedestrian street, no doubt the Village shines!

Excellent stay!
My stay at B&B du Village was perfect. The room was so clean with many thoughtful details through out. The breakfast was so delicious, homemade yogurt was a star and of course croissants every day! Phillipe and Nicholas went out of their way to be helpful about everything from recommendations to sending me on my way to the airport with breakfast to go and even calling me a taxi. And the location was perfect.

While eating breakfast in the kitchen area, I had a sizable amount of money stolen from my purse which was locked in my "Cottage" room. Six people had the door code to my room (all 4 owners and 2 maids). The B&B had no camera for the back entrance which was the main entrance to my room. Owners responded to my loss by emailing me a useless form to fill out to report this incident to the police. The internet form said to call the police in response to checking "entered room without permission"). When I finally was able to talk with police, they asked for a camera.

Response from The BBV Team on 14 Oct 2022
Dear Kathryn,We are so sorry about the negative incident that you experienced while in Montreal, QC. The safety and comfort of our guests is our top priority. We are deeply concerned about the issue and as previously discussed with you in our telephone and email conversations, have followed Montreal Police recommendations and will gladly cooperate with authorities on a thorough investigation. As a small independent B&B of four property owners and two very trustworthy staff who have worked with us for many years, we take your concerns very seriously. As we were informed of the incident four days after departure, our internal investigation did not yield a definitive result. We are nonetheless discussing ways to enhance security on property. We want to reassure all of our travelling guests that Montreal, QC (and The BBV) are two of the safest and most welcoming locations to visit in Canada. Thank you again for taking the time to write to us.

Wonderful B&B in the heart of the Gay Village. The guest room was spacious, beautifully designed, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The hosts provide a very ample homemade breakfast and there are several lovely common areas. The hosts are friendly and welcoming. One of the nicest B&Bs we stayed at.

Awesome host! Phillippe was very gracious. Very clean and we were provided a great introduction on sites to see. The section of town is not the closest to Old Montreal but well within a reasonable walking distance. The demographic in the Village is friendly and distinct. Since we were staying in the cottage, not the B&B proper, we had inadvertently failed to opt for breakfast, but Phillippe fed us nonetheless. Merci Beaucoup!!

An above average to outstanding stay.
A very nice stay. Breakfast is highly enjoyable. Very fresh and they provide a quality homemade breakfast. The breakfast items were not full of sugar and they were not store bought. Excellent homemade yogurt. The rooms are very nice and extremely quiet. You are able to come and go without feeling like you are being watched. I enjoyed chatting with the international guests. This located conveniently to the metro stop and easily walkable to the old port city. The advanced email was very helpful. They provide an outstanding balance between hotel and private home. Well done and I would highly recommend staying here.
