Les Bons Matins Bed & Breakfast in Montreal

September 15, 2009

Do you have plans for any overnight stays in Montreal? Of course you can always book a chain hotel but if you would like something that’s just a little bit different, with considerable charm in the best sense of the word, then give serious thought to booking at Les Bons Matins.

Les Bons Matins is more like an upscale inn than a B&B. Five 19th century homes (all attached) offer 21 rooms and suites and one luxurious townhouse ranging in price from $119 to $399.  For that you’ll get a wonderful room that feels more like home than a hotel ever does. It comes with a queen bed, original antique pine pieces, exposed bricks, beautiful rugs, old pine floors that smell a bit like beeswax and artwork that you might just want to take home with you.

Not all the bathrooms are large but they all come with nice toiletries. Also, they have thoughfully included enough counter space that the contents of your cosmetic bag won’t end up in the toilet. There are big hooks and the furniture makes a perfect surface for your travel bag.

Internet, phones, TV and alarm clocks are in every room. Fortunately there is  air conditioning for the summer months!

Breakfast must be reserved and is served between 7am and 10am. It’s a gourmet one that should keep the hunger pangs at bay till lunch. Port, bottled water and soft drinks are provided free of charge.

Les Bons Matins occupies a prime location. You’ll most likely be able to see the hockey arena from your front bedroom window and Saint Catherines, the main shopping street is only 2 blocks away. You can hop on the Metro at the  Lucien-L’Allier stop, only seconds away.

The one downside might be some noise but heh, it’s a big city and at least you can open your windows.

I might sound like I’m being paid to say all this but I’m not. I am however, in favour of supporting and helping out the little guy whenever possible, especially when the job is so well done.
