Gingerbread Manor

My partner and I stayed for one evening at the Gingerbread Manor though would of stayed for longer should our travel plans have allowed. The Gingerbread Manor's hosts are a delight - and have thought of EVERYTHING. The bathroom well kitted out with anything you could imagine needing, superior linens used with the bedding, stunning room presentations and a delightful breakfast to round it all off catering for most dietary needs. The Manor itself is very well placed with short walks to parks, shopping streets and eating treasures. Thank you Gingerbread Manor - you do Montreal proud!

Ephraim and Yves are always warm and gracious hosts.

I stayed at the Gingerbread Manor for 2 nigths. Enjoyed Montreal and B&B very much. Very nice and friendly staff. Excellent breakfast.

My boyfriend and I spent two nights at this wonderful little bed and breakfast. Everything was perfect, from the arrangements that were made in advance of our arrival to the warm hospitality we received while there, and even the follow up notes after we had left. We knew that we would be getting in late, around midnight, and the owners were kind enough to set us up with access to our reserved garage parking space and entrance into our private room all in advance. As we walked up the stoop to the front door there was even a welcome note in the window for us! We got upgraded to the Frontenac Room, a spacious abode on the second floor. The decor was beautiful with a deep red and gold theme, and we had little gingerbread cookies and mints waiting for us. The bed sheets and comforter were both soft and cozy, and I loved wrapping myself up in them each night. The house is on a quiet street right in the heart of Montreal. We were also quite close to the metro station, as well as the main road, Sherbrooke, for driving around to Mount Royal and the Botanical Gardens. Our hosts, Ephraim and Yves, always sent us off at the beginning of the day with a huge homemade breakfast topped off with some amazing coffee. When asked their advice for a place to have dinner, they not only recommended their own personal favorite in the city, but even made the reservations for us and confirmed upon our return that we were treated well and got the insider’s discount. Quite the personal service. They also gave excellent directions to nearby local points of interests. When we checked out, they also wrote down on a map for us turn-by-turn directions back to the highway. I would definitely go back, and really, truly enjoyed my stay. We were both impressed and delighted by the time we spent at both the Gingerbread Manor and in the city of Montreal itself, and miss them both so much already.

This is a terrific B&B - conveniently located near downtown with clean, comfortable rooms and delicious breakfasts. Ephraim and Yves are great hosts. And they have secure garage parking!! Brilliant value!!

we spent four nights at the Gingerbread Manor and had a really great time. It has a nice location, it is very clean and well kept, the breakfast was homemade and unique each day, and ephraim and yeve were very knowledgable anf helpful about montreal. overall, a very nice stay!

The best b&b me and my sister stayed in! Absolutly clean, cosy room and tasty breakfast. The b&b is well located, it's easy to walk everywhere in Montreal. Not to forget the two hosts are helpful with informations, they offer to do the laundry for less money, can rent bikes. Loved this b&b!!!

I spent three nights at the Gingerbread Manor. Everything there met and exceeded my expectations. The facility is located close to all of the functions that I needed in Montreal. The room that I stayed in was delightful, the food very good and the conversations were always lively. I have no reservations recommending this place to anybody looking for a very pleasant bed and breakfast in Montreal.

We enjoyed our stay at Gingerbread Manor, and it will definitely be added to our list of places to stay in Montreal. The room and shared bath were comfortable and clean. Yves and Ephraim were fantastic hosts - providing lively and intelligent conversation over breakfast and offering a local's perspective on what to see and do and where to eat!

A very pleasant experience in downtown Montreal. This will be on the list of places to stay, without question. Only issue is that the bathroom is shared, but it is what it is, as they say.

Nice B & B in excellent location for reasonable rates. Breakfast was plentiful and varied. Hosts are helpful and friendly. Easy access to metro, walking distance to many restaurants and in warmer weather, walk to old Montreal.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Gingerbread Manor. The house itself is stunning, on a gorgeous street, and our room was cozy and tastefully appointed, with a comfortable bed. The shared bathroom was airy and immaculate, and included a separate shower and large bathtub. Every morning we looked forward to a delicious breakfast prepared by Ephraim, who's also an engaging conversationalist. In addition to being warm and welcoming, he was also very helpful as a guide to the city, making great restaurant recommendations and aiding us with dinner reservations. The location on rue Laval in the Plateau neighborhood simply can't be beat! We were only a few blocks away from the Sherbrooke metro station, not to mention the fact that our favorite eateries were all within walking distance of the house. In addition to all of the above, their special offer for a 3+ night stay and the availability of a parking space in a secure garage behind the house makes this an outstanding value. We highly recommend the Gingerbread Manor and are already scheming to find ways to return again soon.

This is my second time staying at the Gingerbread Manor and my wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and comfortable and our hosts were helpful and very accommodating. I was also very happy that they could offer gluten free options for breakfast (I have a gluten allegy). The food was delicious. We will be back. Thanks.

We just returned from a 3 night stay at Gingerbread Manor. We can not say enough how wonderful the owners, Ephraim & Yves are. They made us feel so comfortable, they gave us excellent recommendations for restaurants, sightseeing and transportation. The house is very warm and cozy; the owners take personal pride in the cleanliness of it. Our room was perfect - the bed, towels, amenities were great. Our breakfast each morning was fantastic - it was totally different every day and unlimited (one morning was quiche, one morning was lemon poppy seed pancakes with homemade raspberry sauce and we were sorry to miss the last morning, but we had a very early train to catch). They offer bike rental to all guests at a minimum fee; free computer use and free wifi; cable TV & DVDs in your room; they even offer for their guests who stay longer than 7 days, free laundry service. The location is perfect; centrally located for getting around. It's within walking distance to the Old City, the Metro, the bus and many, many restaurants. Being highly seasoned travellers we would highly recommend this B & B and without a doubt, stay here again.

Yves and Ephraim are very good hosts. The location, the house, the rooms and breakfast are outstandind. I go there each time I'm in Montreal.

I stayed in this B and B in August on my own, while I was doing a French course in Montreal. The B and B was 5 min from a metro station and also with walking distance of many local amenities as well ad Vieux Montreal. My room was compact, but very very comfortable and the bathroom was well stocked with anything you might need. However, the outstanding feature of this b and b are the hosts, they were incredibly welcoming and helpful with every aspect of my stay, which was particularly important as a single woman travelling alone. The breakfast was amazing, something new prepared fresh every day. Probably the best b and b I've ever stayed in!

Gingerbread Manor is a very clean, perfectly located B and B in the Mount Royal section of Montreal. The neighborhood is very clean and safe. I walked all over the place in the early morning and found coffee shops, etc... You are very close to many things including the Latin Quarter which is about a five minute walk, Prince Arthur Street, 2-3 minute walk, and Duluth Street. If you want to sample a range of foods you can check out Duluth Street which was recommended to me by Ephraim. There is food from Algeria, Greece, Italy, Afghanistan, Venezuela, etc... All restaurants are BYOW and you can sit down and walk across the street to purchase what you want (which is what I did, so the beer would still be cold when I sat down). Old Port, Chinatown, are about a 20-25 minute walk but you won't even notice because there are so many shops and places to go in and out of. The hosts at Gingerbread Manor are very knowledgeable and take great pride in making your stay comfortable. In any event, Yves and Ephraim have bikes on the premises you can rent for 20.00. I wish I took advantage of this. If you go to Gingerbread Manor, I would rent it on day one, tour the neighborhoods, and get to know the metro system so you can tour the whole city. We pretty much walked everywhere and loved it, but having their bikes to rent will really make your trip more fun. The rooms are very clean. We stayed in the only room with a bathroom and it was perfect. The bed was very comfortable, there is a television, and it is really quiet. I saw the rooms with shared bathroom, and for a lower price, I think this option is perfect as well. The room prices are excellent, and if you have any problems Yves and Ephraim will work with you.

We just stayed at Gingerbread Manor for three nights. The location is the most perfect that a person could want in Montreal. I wouldn't have wanted to move ten yards in any direction. Very walkable to Old Montreal and Downtown, and it's in The Plateau -- yet the place itself is on a very quiet and peaceful street. Walking around the lovely old buildings on the tree-lined streets of The Plateau was my favorite part of our visit to Montreal. The breakfasts were different each morning, and prepared and presented with great skill and care. Delicious!! The two hosts were friendly, and very helpful with tips for tourists. A lovely building in a lovely area, with delicious food --- we couldn't have asked for a better place!

Pasamos 4 noches en abril 2011: La mejor elección para nuestra primera visita a Montreal, la acogida de Ephraim e Yves fue excelente y nos ayudó a disfrutar del viaje. El desayuno, distinto cada dia y preparado al momento; la habitación, espaciosa y limpia. Éstá bien comunicado y la ubicación es buena, tanto por el vecindario como para ir a pie hasta las zonas más comerciales o museos del centro.

Stayed for six nights in room with balcony overlooking the street. Different breakfast every morning and each one was delicious. Ephraim and Yves are gracious hosts, knowledgable and helpful. B&B is conveniently located near restaurants, shops, Metro station. Staying at Gingerbread Manor turned a fun visit into a fabulous one.

We really enjoyed our comfortable room, generous hospitality and the wonderful culinary expertise of our hosts. The room was lovely with great character and a most comfortable bed and bedding. The breakfast was certainly one of the very the best I've ever had. They went above and beyond expectations and even accommodated our special needs diet, in a most gracious and delicious way :-)

We stayed for three nights. Our room was very comfortable with many amenities and each morning we had a tasty, freshly cooked, gourmet breakfast. The location was convenient to many sites and public transportation. We really enjoyed our stay.

We had a very enjoyable stay at Gingerbread Manor. We loved the location which was walking distance to everything we wanted to do. Our room, the Champlain was so spacious and comfortable and although there was a shared bath, it was never a problem. The breakfasts were terrific and we met some wonderful fellow travelers. Yves and Ephraim were such helpful hosts and directed us to an amazing Tapas restaurant that we would have never found on our own

I would highly recommend Gingerbread Manor B&B! This was our first vacation in Montreal, and we immediately felt comfortable and at home. Our two wonderful hosts were very accomodating in every way, as we arrived early, they were there to greet us and store our luggage until our room was ready. Ephraim and Yves are very welcoming and have a wealth of knowledge about the area, providing us with all the information we needed to enjoy our stay. The location of the B&B is perfect, easy walking distance to some of the highlights of the city, and very close to the Metro. Many restaurants and small shops are nearby. We were very pleased with the room (Champlain), very roomy and comfortable with a wonderful view of Mont Royal. Daily breakfast is a real delight, always a new surprise! The time spent enjoying the breakfast was filled with stimulating conversation, and a highlight of each of our 3 days. I have recommended this place to friends and family and we will most certainly stay here again when we return to Montreal! Thanks so much guys!

I've stayed in many b&bs all over the world and this one rates up there with the best. Robin Cleland

The only thing better than the breakfast is the hosts. Yves and Ephraim are hosts extraordinaire who spoil their guests with omelettes and a barrage of jokes and laughter. The Montcalm Room on the top floor has a beautiful view of Mont Royal. We will definitely be staying there again!

I had a one-night stay at GGM and what an experience it was. I had a lovely little room and a fabulous breakfast of lemon-poppyseed blinis and some tasty keylime yogurt. Ephraim and Yves are wonderful hosts-full of intelligent conversation. I referred a friend there and he was quite taken by GGM and its hosts. My spouse and I are going there for one night and I am so very looking forward to it.

Can't imagine a better B&B experience or a better way to see Montreal...Ephraim & Yves have a beautiful B&B in the perfect location and are fabulous hosts! We'd made last-minute plans for a Spring Break visit (traveling w/college-age daughters) and reserved the Champlain Room for the four of us. On check-in, however, Ephraim insisted on making another room available for the girls and I began to realize we were in for a treat. Recent snow had complicated on-street parking a bit but he encouraged us to see if we could squeeze our car into one of the garage spots and it worked (just barely!) as there's no need for a car otherwise. This was our first visit to Montreal but I can't imagine a better location...all the attractions of the Plateau right next door, walking distance to Old Montreal, McGill, & downtown, and close to the Metro (Sherbrooke). We had wonderful recommendations for dinner, shopping, & sightseeing. And - oh yeah - the breakfasts...they're just as fabulous as they sound in other reviews & pretty much over-the-top. The rooms were spotless and beautifully decorated...all the charm of an 1885 vintage home, add flat screen TV & wifi, and top off with baths that are totally modern and large (as others have noted, not much to worry if you're sharing a bath). I really can't imagine a better place to stay in Montreal...the only downside is the word is clearly out and advance bookings will make short-notice stays tough...you'll want to plan ahead if coming in the warm weather! Would be great for a romantic get-away but a perfect fit for our family as well...5 stars++!

We stayed at the Gingerbread Manor for 7 nights and had a wonderful time. You couldn't ask for better hosts in Ephraim and Yves, who were full of good advice for getting the most of out Montreal, a city they clearly love. Ephraim's breakfast were so delicious that given the name, Emma and I were worried we would suffer the same fate as Hansel and Gretal! A great B&B. Highly recommended.

Everything was wonderful! Ephriam & Yves, you have a great location, a beautiful product and are reasonably priced. Our only feedback would be for Ephraim! What you must see in your presentation as witty and wordly comes across as sarcastic, sardonic and a bit pretentious!

Everything kept taking our breathe away, from the spectacular breakfast, comedy hour by our hosts to the majestic room and perfect location. Do not even consider a different bed and breakfast!

Nous avons passé 7 nuits en 3 fois (3+2+2) en janvier/février 2011: c'est dire si nous avons apprécié le Manoir aux pains d'épices. Tout a été agréable, style de l'établissement, qualité du couchage, recherche dans le petit déjeuner - très savoureux et diversifié, bravo à Ephraim!- emplacement du B&B très pratique, et par dessus tout accueil très chaleureux. Notre souhait: y revenir!

We enjoyed a wonderful 3 night stay at Gingerbread Manor and had a wonderful time, even during a frigid January in Montreal. Beautiful Victorian style construction with lots of character, that has been well-kept and modernized inside. The Champlain room definitely seems like the best in the house - enormous, elegant, and full of character with ceiling ornamentation and huge bay windows with a great view. Everything was spotlessly clean with unobtrusive and efficient housekeeping. Bathroom was large, clean, and fully stocked with a variety of amenities. The location is fantastic, with close proximity to a long stretch of unique independent shops and restaurants/cafes on Rue St. Denis. Downtown is easily walkable in better weather, but for our winter stay, two metro stations are within 2-4 blocks and can quickly take you anywhere in Montreal. We easily visited areas in downtown, Old Montreal, at McGill/Mount Royal, and others. Breakfasts were delicious and each individually-prepared. It was a great time to relax, chat, and plan the day with expert input. Ephraim and Yves were fantastic hosts from the moment we arrived. Both are warm/engaging and extremely helpful. Ephraim is a wealth of knowledge about almost any subject, and has a great sense of humor. He was full of ideas and recommendations for things to do/see or places to eat, with instructions that made us feel immediately comfortable in our new surroundings. Both were excellent cultural teachers. You could not hope to find better hosts. Yves even helped jump our rental car when it decided not to start on our last day! Montreal is a wonderful city and this is without a doubt THE place to stay. We hope to be back soon in the summer and wouldn't think of staying anywhere else!

Great B & B in a great neighborhood and city. We would definitely choose Gingerbread Manor should we return to Montreal.

the gingerbread manor was one of the best bed and breakfasts my husband and i have ever stayed in. rooms were clean and comfortable, breakfast was delicious, and the location is great. but i think the best part were the owners themselves. they were very friendly and extremely helpful. all in all, extraordinary. we would definitely stay here again and have already recommended the gingerbread manor to our family and friends.

Wij hebben zeer genoten van de gastvrijheid van de eigenaars zowel als de lekkere ontbijten. Onze kamer was gezellig en schoon met een mooie badkamer. Montreal is een mooie stad met veel te zien en down, en Ephraim en Yves waren zeer hulpzaam als wij advies vroegen. Zij zijn zoals veel Montrealers, twee talig en erg vriendelijk. Wij geven het 6 sterren!!! ;)

We could not have chosen a nicer place to stay for our first Christmas away from home! 5 days in Montreal over Christmas, and this place made our stay VERY special. A warm greeting, a comfortable, clean, modern room (Maisonneuve) with a healthy dose of Victorian charm, helpful assistance with negotiating beautiful Montreal, and a breakfast that was delicious and accommodating (we both have dairy issues) really bolt down the important issues. Beyond that, we found Ephraim to be a WEALTH of knowledge about ANY subject, and Yves to be especially sensitive to our distance from home in a different culture. (We had traveled 16 hours from Maryland, USA by train!) As a team, these two gentlemen were OVER THE TOP! Help with where to eat, where to shop, local customs, Metro guidance, show tickets (we went to see Circ du Soleil perform at the Bell Center), cab calls as well as wonderful and insightful discussions on Canadian politics, health care, government and more made for a comfortable, stimulating and memorable vacation that we will treasure always! If you want a special, clean, friendly hideaway in a beautiful, world class city (Paris without the jet-lag) then you cannot go wrong with the Gingerbread Boys at the Gingerbread Manor!

There were 3 of us staying in one room, yet the room felt very spacious. The innkeepers were very helpful with suggestions, directions, calling cabs, etc. Breakfast was great with a variety of items to suit everyone. Would definitely stay here again.

great, clean & quit rooms, good breakfast, central location. great place to stay. I can recommend.

We picked this B&B for our first trip to Montreal and fell in love with the city in no small measure due to our delightful hosts, Ephraim and Yves, whose spirit and humor added imensely to the success of our visit. Their guidance concerning a vistor's do's and don'ts proved right on and led to several unexpectedly pleasant intereactions with locals. Our room was small but comfortable, clean and quiet. Breakfast was a super treat, varied, tasty and filling - great coffee! The Gingerbread Manor's location is ideal and though we had a car, we never used it - walking and public transit got us to wherever we wanted to go. Our stay set an unbeatable standard for a B&B - we'll be back!

This B&B is really comfortable and we liked our stay very much. Nice and comfortable beds, huge rooms, little noise, clean bathrooms, delicious breakfast, friendly and helpful people, well situated near Rus St. Denis for nightlife. We would definitely choose this B&B again. Eva

This 125 year old brownstone is nestled in a charming neighborhood within easy walking distance of the metro and a pedestrian street loaded with restaurants. Our huge room had a table set with glasses and an inviting pair of wing back chairs by the bay window; a perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine after sightseeing! The king bed was mist comfortable, and the splendid modern shared bath was fabulous! Best of all, though, were the breakfasts! Home made yumminess to delight anyone! Waffles topped with fresh berries, omlets brimming with asparagus and fresh tomatoes, fresh spiced applesauce, yogurt topped with granola--and of course any cold cereal or pastry you fancied! Ephraim and Yves were most cordial hosts, offering suggestions for our exploring and also giving us lots of chuckles!

My stay here was nothing short of superb. This trip would not have been a tenth as enjoyable or rewarding without Ephraim and Yves's invaluable input and wonderful hospitality. They were always warm and welcoming and had excellent advice on both where to go and where to avoid in the city. Both are excellent cooks and their breakfasts were uniformly fantastic throughout my stay. And I don't think I've ever stayed at a B&B before with a host quite as funny as Ephraim. My room (the Champlain) was spacious, with much more room than I needed, but that's hardly a criticism. Perhaps my favorite feature was the large bay window, which provided the perfect setting for sitting in the morning with my laptop, Googling various local establishments and planning my day as the morning sun shone in. I shared a bathroom with another room, but there were never any issues with being unable to use the facilities. I also appreciated E&Y's green sensibilities, with water-saving shower heads and a recycling bin within easy reach at the foot of the stairs. I'm not sure I could imagine the house being more perfectly located. It's just a couple blocks from the Sherbrooke Metro station for easy public transit access, yet more often than not I would forego the Metro since they are just a 15-25 minute walk from downtown, Old Montreal, McGill, Parc La Fontaine, the shops and restaurants on Avenue du Mont-Royal, and numerous other places of interest. Gingerbread Manor is easily my first choice for lodging on any return trips and I will be recommending it to any friends or coworkers who might be planning a trip to Montreal.

My daughter and I had a lovely stay at Gingerbread Manor. Beautifully kept manor in a terrific location for subways, bus and eating to all parts of Montreal. I was especially please with a lovely park located nearby which I could do my daily running around ... from Manor and once around the park is 2 miles. Breakfast was excellent with homemade breads, jams and individually tailored breakfast hot out of the skillet. Enough to make an 11 year old happy. We had wonderful guests each morning and a wide variety of teas and coffee's to drink from ... gingerbread espresso was especially nice. Would highly recommend a stay here.

I'm so glad I chose to stay at Gingerbread Manor while visiting Montreal. The owners are bilingual, and were helpful and courteous. The room was large and comfortable with many lovely architectural details. Breakfast was always tasty and plentiful. It was the perfect home base for a trip to Montreal! I would definitely stay here again!

Zeer gastvrije B&B, bestierd door twee zeer vriendelijke, wandelende stadsgidsen van Montreal. Vraag het, en zij weten het. De kamers zijn barok en stijlvol ingericht en brandschoon. Een walhalla voor wie van lummelen op bed met een heleboel kussens houdt. Het ontbijt is elke dag anders, vers à la minute gemaakt en zeer uitgebreid. De ligging is helemaal goed: in een rustige straat, in een levendige wijk met veel uitgaans- en eetgelegenheden op loopafstand. Heerlijk dat de gastheren Engels en Frans spreken.

Un séjour de 2 semaines exceptionnel. Nous avons été reçu magnifiquement bien. La chambre ravissante d'une propreté exemplaire, les petits déjeuners tous les jours le changement, l'acceuil d'Ephraim et Yves toujours présent pour nous parler de cette belle ville de Montréal et nous donner de bons conseils pour la journée. La situation de ce Gingerbread manor est très bien car nous étions à proximité de tout. Merci pour tout et à très bientôt

Clean, comfortable accommodation. Our host Ephraim made us feel welcome as soon as we arrived. It was in a great location and in walking distance to the Metro subway station, banks, restaurants and shopping. We would definitely stay here again.

From the minute we walked in, we knew that we were going to like this place! My sister and myself are reasonably well travelled and have stayed in all types of accommodation from excellent to abysmal and have become quite fussy but The Gingerbread Manor was a delight! Ephraim made us feel very welcome and was cracking jokes the entire length of our stay. The B&B itself, what can i say. Ephraim and Yves have thought of everything. The bathrooms are equipped with any toiletries a girl may need; the rooms are full of character, clean and roomy. They have a TV with cable and a hard drive with all manner of films and TV shows including one starring your hosts!!! The house itself is typically Victorian with beautiful high ceilings and original old wooden flooring-spectacular. The breakfasts-wow. They were the reason we chose this place rather than others based on other guests' reviews and they did not disappoint. Lemon and poppyseed pancakes-to die for! The location was also ideal-really close to a great park for days of chilling and reading, within about 10-15 mins walk of the harbour front, Basillica and Old Montréal. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be returning on our next trip to Montréal! Thanks Ephraim and Yves for such a enjoyable stay

Out of all B&Bs in a 3 weeks' stay in Montréal, Québec and in between (quite a few!), this has been hands down the best B&B of all! Beautiful house an rooms, lovely hosts, best breakfast, great location. And we did not even read the reviews before (we stumbled over it by chance), but I can confirm that every single positive statement made here is true. Cheers to Ephraim & Yves from the japanese-german family!

I stayed in this great period home for 4 very enjoyable nights. The house has been immaculately upgraded in period style, corniced ceilings abound, original wood panelling throughout, wonderful staircases gleaming with all original trim. The house satisfies aesthetically but has every convenience imaginable. My ensuite bathroom contained shampoo, hair conditioner, makeup remover, cotton balls, many sumptuous towels etc. My room and bed were huge , the bed with beautiful soft bedspread and mounds of downy pillows. There was a huge TV and VCR and the room came supplied with spring water, wine glasses and bottle opener. Ephraim's great talent as chef was evident each morning-simply wonderful freshly made omelettes to order, his own freshly baked muffins and breads', as well as mounds of fruit and unlimited freshly ground coffee. Ephraim and Yves were perfect hosts-these cultured gentlemen had a host of interesting tales of their world travels. Most of all, it was clear that they enjoy their guests and love having their company. I would highly recommend this B&B.

We stayed there for 2 nights, coming from Paris. We arrived at night and were nicely welcome. The room was just great, huge bed and windows! The place is very quiet to sleep there, and very clean. If you wanna start the day with a night breakfast... you are in the right place! Breakfast is home made and a real surprise ! We really enjoyed staying there.

My wife and I spent four nites with Ephraim and Yves. They are wonderful hosts. Their knowledge of Montreal is incredible. The location of the B+B is very central to everything. For breakfast, we had something new everyday, Pancakes, French toast, all homemade. The bedrooms are very large and comfortable.

It is as though you came to visit your old friends and they put their best foot forward to make your stay memorable and comfortable. Only the hosts of the Gingerbread Manor have to do that every day for every guest and their hospitality has no signs of running out!!!!!Everything we could think of to accommodate our comfort was there: from a delightful abundance of choices for breakfast to an even more delightful insights on every topic that interests you it was a place to come back to again!!!!Don't even need to mention about location: close to everything, quaint neighbourhood, will exceed your expectations, as it did for us!!!Don't think twice - book it!!! Kindly, L&A.

What a fantastic place to stay! This was my first time to Montreal, and I was looking for something with a lot of character in a great neighbourhood; Gingerbread Manor has both in spades. I stayed in the Frontenac room with a friend, and the room was more than large enough to accommodate us comfortably (even after multiple shopping trips). I particularly liked the bay window with the two wing chairs; it was a great place to share a bottle of wine before heading out on the town. I loved the high ceilings with the amazing plaster medallion and the gleaming parquet floors. If you're a sucker for period charm like I am, you'll love this place. Breakfast each day was fabulous; I think my favourite thing was the French toast with yogurt, berries and granola as the appetizer-- yum! The hosts are always eager to chat with you and will offer suggestions on what to see, where to eat, and what to avoid. It's really quite helpful if you aren't familiar with the city. For me, it was the details that really made the stay. In our scrupulously clean bathroom they had make up wipes, nail files, hair dryer-- all the things that women need when they're away, but often forget. They have a whole pile of movies on a hard drive that they'll set up in your room, which is perfect for a lazy evening in. Everything about the place makes you feel comfortable and at home. Don't even think about it; just book this one!

Charming place just off of a little park (a bit chilly in December, but it would be lovely in spring or summer) and around the corner from Rue St. Dennis. Great location, great value, and an amazing breakfast. Staff were very flexible with our travel schedule and made us feel at home. I will definitely be recommending this place to my friends and family.

My two day stay at the Gingerbread Manor capped off a perfect visit to Montreal. The warm hospitality, spacious accommodations and culinary treats made for a very memorable experience. I couldn't recommend this establishment more strongly. Without question, any future visits to Montreal will include a return visit to the Gingerbread Manor.

If you're a first time visitor to Montreal as I was, this is the place to stay. The location is great -- very near lots of great restaurants and walking distance from Vieux Montreal. The place itself is clean, cute and offers a great breakfast (and a very comfortable bed). I would definitely recommend it.

I highly recommend this B & B for your stay in Montreal! Very comfortable and clean, every detail was above our expectations. Free Wi-Fi, Judy Garland in the DVD player, and above standard bathroom supplies (shampoo, cond., mouthwash, make-up remover, everything you could need!) were some of the things we enjoyed about this B & B. The breakfasts were great and the hosts very friendly (thought slight eccentric). We would stay here again for sure!

This was a delightful place to stay -- so lovely I am thinking up reasons to go back to Montreal to stay there again. The room was beautiful and clean, the bed very comfortable, and the location convenient to everything I needed to do in Montreal. My breakfasts were abovfe and beyond anythign I have ever experienced in a B&B. I have specific heatlh and allergy-related needs, and Ephraim produced special breakfasts for me that met my needs, were utterly deliciious, and beautiful on the plate. He and Yves also gave excellent advice about getting around, and seeing some of the sights when my schedule allowed. They seemed to truly enjoy extending their hospitality. After the first meeting, I felt as if I was staying with good friends whom I had known for years.

The Gingerbread Manor made us feel like we were ensconced in a cocoon of warm spicy Montreal hospitality. Yves and Ephraim were friendly, knowledgeable and a welcoming presence during our stay. The freshly made breakfasts were a delight every morning. The aroma wafting up the stairs was a wonderful way to start the day. I would recommend this oasis in the city to anyone.

The Gingerbread Manor is a fabulous find for a wonderful stay in Montreal. I loved the architecture of the homes in the neighborhood as well as the quaint walking street just around the corner. The area was very accommodating with plenty of delicious eateries close by. The metro station was just a couple blocks away--no need for a carm and the historic part of the city was just a short walk down the road. The house itself is very charming. Any of the rooms we saw would make for a very comfortable stay. We had plenty of room for storage of clothes and for stowing suitcases out of sight. The bathrooms were fastidious and we had no qualms sharing the bathroom with the other guests on our floor. Actually, we never once had an issue where anyone had to wait for entry. Ephraim makes for a wonderful host. His breakfasts were delicious and he was very helpful in guiding us to the right shopping markets or anywhere else we wanted to go. If you are there in the fall, do not miss the Chinese Lantern display at the botanical gardens. They were the favorite part of our trip, an unexpected stop off that Ephraim suggested. Do vist the Gingerbread Manor in Montreal. You will not be disappointed. I would not hesitate to stay there again, in fact, it would be my favorite location and place to stay. Best--Lizzie

We had a wonderful stay. The room was amazing and very comfortable, the hosts were great company, and breakfast delicious. Would definitely return and recommend to others!

Would definitely recommend staying here. Safe neighbourhood, close to everything including metro. Awesome breakfast, and the best hosts you can imagine. Thanks guys for everything.

Our hosts were fantastically hospitable and knowledgeable about the city, restaurants, attractions etc. Our room was spacious, modern and bright, the bathrooms were spotless and well supplied. We awoke to the smell of a breakfast that was truly beyond words delicious! The location is easy to everything you would want to see in Montreal. Parking was easy, though we walked everywhere. Generally one of the best weekend getaway experiences we've had. Thanks for making our trip to Canada thoroughly enjoyable!

What a bed and breakfast should be like. Clean, welcoming and comfortable. What a beautiful place in a great area. Definitely a place we would come back to.

My girlfriend and I just returned from a long weekend at the Gingerbread Manor and have nothing but good things to say. An amazing value for such beautiful rooms and central location. Efran and Even are gracious hosts and excellent cooks. Their tips on attractions and restaurants helped us get the most out of our three days and nights in Montreal. They have set the bar for all our future B+B experiences.

This is definitely the place if you want to stay in a good location. Its near all! I was totally satisfied with my stay at Gingerbread Manor.

It is as though you came to visit your old friends and they put their best foot forward to make your stay memorable and comfortable. Only the hosts of the Gingerbread Manor have to do that every day for every guest and their hospitality has no signs of running out!!!!!Everything we could think of to accomodate our comfort was there: from a delightful abundance of choices for breakfast to an even more delightful insights on every topic that interests you it was a place to come back to again!!!!Don't even need to mention about location: close to everything, quaint neighbourhood, will exceed your expectations, as it did for us!!!Don't think twice - book it!!! Kindly, L&A.

Had a great time at the B&B! The room was very nice, the bed just great :) ..and breakfast beyond anything you would expect!! The owner is extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. The B&B itself is close to numerous places you don't want to miss when visiting Montreal. The street it is on is very quiet.
