Our stay at Lofts Jacques-Cartier was absolutely perfect! The host was incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout our visit. Located right in the heart of Plateau Mont-Royal, it's within walking distance to countless cafes, boutiques, and local gems. We loved the vibrant atmosphere of the neighborhood—so much charm and character. The free parking was a huge plus, especially for those traveling by car. The space itself is spacious, stylish, and thoughtfully designed with modern touches. It felt like home from the moment we arrived.

Staying at Accueil Chez Francois was an absolute delight!

The check-in process was smooth and completely self-guided, giving us full independence without any hassle. The space is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped—especially loved that the shared kitchen had a kettle and coffee maker available 24/7. Whether it was early morning or late night, having coffee ready was such a treat. Overall, the comfort, quiet atmosphere, and convenient setting made this stay unforgettable.

I stayed at Liv MTL - Plateau and really enjoyed the experience. The apartment is small but well-designed and functional—every inch of space is used efficiently, with a clean, modern aesthetic and quality finishes. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable: just steps from metro stations and right in the heart of Montreal’s vibrant Plateau district. Walking to restaurants, shops, and attractions was effortless. The only thing to keep in mind is the narrow, steep staircase leading up to the unit—be prepared if you're carrying heavy luggage. Overall, this is a great option for travelers who value convenience, style, and a central spot without breaking the bank.
Staying at A la Carte Bed & Breakfast was an absolute delight! The hosts were incredibly warm and personal, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The room was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated with a charming touch that made it feel like a true retreat. Located just a short walk from the metro, it’s super convenient for exploring downtown Montreal. What really stood out was the local insight—the hosts shared fantastic tips on hidden gems: the best coffee shops, fresh markets, and off-the-beaten-path restaurants. We ended up having some of our favorite meals in the city thanks to their recommendations. This isn’t just a place to sleep—it’s a real experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking to connect with the heart of Montreal.
The check-in process was extremely frustrating, and I'd strongly advise taking the negative reviews seriously before booking. We paid a $500 security deposit upon arrival, which has not been refunded after two months of follow-up emails. Our first response acknowledged it as an oversight, but since then, all further messages have gone unanswered. The lack of communication and accountability is unacceptable—especially for such a significant amount. This experience has left us deeply disappointed, and we can't recommend staying here if you value transparency and customer service.
