We stayed at the Gingerbread for 3 nights in June, 2023. Highly recommend it for the following reasons. The owners were very accomodating when we had to change the reservation. The city location is convenient for subway, restaurants and points of interest. There is a lovely
 park a half block down the street. The house is beautiful and very well kept.  The room we stayed in, Frontenac, was large with a view of the street. There is a shared bathroom with another room, but the bathroom seemed brand new and the sharing aspect was not a problem. The brekfast served each mornnig was filling and tasty, with interesting conversation with the owners and other guests. 

A great place to stay

The location is awesome and the place itself is really organized and the cleanest we've ever seen. And the hosts are great! Where would you get a host that e-mails you during the day with more recommendations, tells you exactly where to eat - and remembers the most important part, that they only take cash? Thanks guys from David and Aylon

Great place and hosts!

My wife and I had a wonderful three nights at Gingerbread Manor. We stayed in the Frontenac, a spacious room on the second floor with a shared bath just steps away. The bath is thoughtfully equipped with drinking glasses labeled for the occupants of each room as well as a good stock of band-aids, qtips, shower caps, and so forth. The plush robe in the bedroom and motion-sensor lights in the hall made late night trips to the shared bath very comfortable.

24-hour amenities in the dining room include a fridge with three shelves for guest use, ice, and hot tea (maybe coffee too.) There's bottled water and beer available for a nominal charge, and a "library" of wine (replace the bottle with one of similar value.)

We really appreciated the simplicity of the electronic-keypad entry for both the front door and our room.

Amazing location and great comfort 

Had a wonderful stay here.  Came for the formula 1 weekend.  Great hosts and wonderful accommodation.  We had the balcony room with the shared bathroom, and was no issue at all.  Parked our car in the garage, and took the convenient metro just a short walk away.  Will be back next year! Merci!

Great weekend stay

Manoir aux Pains d’Epices is fabulous.  The structure and architecture is of late 19th, early 20th century design, and reveals a bit of quirky charm between its wooden floors and original ceiling trims and mouldings.   

This terrific Laval Street location is accessible to Vieux Montréal, museums, entertainment venues and McGill, for starters, as well as restaurants and cafés just a block or two around the corner, no matter which direction your feet and curiosity take you.

But why go to a café when delicious breakfast offerings ~ including lots of coffee and tea, of course ~ are right under your nose at Manoir aux Pains d’Epices?  Yves and Ephraim’s kitchen is set up in concert with a very capable chef (Ephraim) whose  skills and willingness accommodates  differing culinary needs.  And Yves sets a beautifully welcoming table for you to enjoy whatever is on the morning menu!

When I was ready to explore Montréal, I felt grateful both Yves and Ephraim possess the wealth of Montréal knowledge they do, along with an enthusiasm for sharing it:  they helped me maneuver an unfamiliar city.

When I made an unanticipated return visit to the city over a week later I was able to book a last-minute accommodation when they had an otherwise fully-booked house.

I will definitely return to Manoir aux Pains d’Epices if they have space for my next Montréal visit!  It is a really FUN “find”, owned and operated by two wonderful hosts!

Not your cookie cutter hotel!

Cute place with very chatty and informative hosts. Lots of stairs so if you find it difficult to climb stairs be warned :-) Beautiful 19th century townhouse with tons of original details; beds are comfortable and bathrooms clean and well kept. Great location just off Sherbrooke and Saint Denis, so it's close to public transport (buses and Metro). Highly recommended for your stay in Montreal.

Historic B&B in great location

Location was good and about 2 blocks to metro station.  Home was very nice and clean. Bedroom was very clean with a comfortable bed, fresh bedding and lots of towels.  Not good for anyone with mobility issues due to amount of stairs to be climbed to the 2nd and 3rd floors where bedrooms are.

I have stayed at many bed and breakfasts and  always received excellent food.  On this stay, breakfasts were, I will kindly say, not good.  Served a vegan breakfast one day which was a potato frittata made with tofu instead of eggs.  It was grey slime on a plate.  Awful. The best breakfast were very small pancakes.  However, we were each only given a few tablespoons of syrup to go with it. They should be more generous with their Quebec syrup as it is very good.

Bagels were not fresh and they charge $5.00 for jam.  Who does that!

Wouldn’t stay here again solely based on the food.



Not a good food experience 

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights. We were very happy to park our car in a secure and safe garage.

We could easily walk to the basilica and waterfront and the plateau neighborhood is loaded with restaurants. 

Our room had a private bath but we heard the adjacent bath being used which meant a disturbed sleep.

Having been an innkeeper myself, perhaps I am a bit critical, but I thought the breakfasts could have been better. The fruit offerings were meager at best. The fruit in the fruit basket was past its sell by date. We would have preferred if our host was bit more professionally dressed.

There are a lot of rules in this place. If you oppose to taking your shoes off or not being able to enjoy a snack in your room, perhaps another place  would suit you. The only common area is the dining room. The parlor is really for the hosts use.

But overall, I would rate this place 4 out of 5 for the value given. We don’t like to spend a fortune on hotels and you do get a lot of bang for your buck here.

Well located!

We stayed three nights at Gingerbread Manor and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had an en-suite bedroom on the second floor which was spacious and comfortable. Every morning we had a different delicious breakfast  - beautifully presented. Thank you so much. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Montreal.

Excellent hosts, excellent location, delicious breakfasts.

This was a great B&B that is central to most of the main tourist areas of Montreal. We stayed in the de Maisonneuve room on the top floor. It was comfy, clean and quiet. The home is beautiful with modern amenities, but much of the classic Victorian finishings remain. The hosts were great and made the experience seamless. Breakfast every morning was different than the last and gave us a good start to our day. We especially enjoyed the delicious omelettes made for us on our last morning! Would definitely stay here again.
