My wife and I just returned from a 3 night stay at Auberge de la Place Royale and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Converted from an old rooming house, this B&B has lots of character, very spacious rooms, and the nicest, friendliest owners we have encountered at any B&B.
Place Royale is perfectly situated in Old Montreal right on the river with many galleries, restaurants and all of the riverfront activities at your doorstep. It's also within a couple of blocks of Notre Dame and the Metro.
As far as the B&B itself, our room was enormous and spotless. We were fortunate to have a first floor room looking out toward the river. For those who don't want to climb a lot of steps, you might want to request a low floor as there is no elevator. Also, it's worth getting a river view as the alternative view is an alley and I believe the rooms are slightly smaller.
A large and satisfying breakfast was served from 8-10am for guests only. And if you leave without trying the homemade baklava you will be sorry.
The couple who run Place Royale along with their daughter, were the best! They went out of their way to help with parking, advice on travel/sightseeing, and generally made us feel like old friends.
I highly recommend this b&b when visiting Montreal.
