“A home away from home!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The heart and soul of this very charming and beautiful bed and breakfast is Pam, the free spirit who runs the place. She is a feisty soul who has explored and lived in much of Canada, including the arctic, and will be glad to regale you with stories of her colorful life and inform you what the real Canada is all about (which is full of characters like Pam). It's the feistiness that turned-off the people who wrote the bad reviews, but they didn't look under the surface. Underneath the bluster is a warm-hearted person who got up at 4am (really!!!) to bake us fresh english muffins (with quinoi and whole wheat!) for a gourmet Egg Mcmuffin and fresh fruit salad with yogurt and served it to us at 5am because she guessed correctly that we wouldn't have time to get breakfast at the airport. Breakfast is normally scheduled between 8:30 and 10am.

All her rules make sense, like taking off shoes- the owner put in beautiful but very soft birch floors throughout.

The rooms are very interesting and each one is unique. The beds are extremely comfortable. And the breakfasts are amazing and are all Pam's unique creations and made from scratch- in her itinerant life she was also a chef! She kindly gave me the recipe for a breakfast veggie burger (with quinoi and walnuts-wow!) after I begged for it.

In addition, the location is extremely convenient for walking or if you have a car or if you take the metro- it's located downtown next to a metro station and a freeway which connects to the airport, and nearby sights.

We definitely will be back and hope Pam will be there to greet us with her tough love!

“Decide for Yourself!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2010

people found this review helpful

After reading all the reviews, we decided to check this place out. We did not book it in advance, but decided to see for ourselves and decide on a spot (mainly because the manager of this place sounded a bit inadequate, she would burst into laughter after she made some foolish remarks.) Not to book it in advance was one of the best decisions of my life. When we came, we saw that the location sucked!!!! Completely and undeniably, sucked!!! We came in, the manager asked us to take off our shoes, it was cold, raining outside, and the place had no carpeting, I was bare foot. So, we told her we called and came down to see if we could spend a weekend there. She was right into our faces (it was inappropriate), I had to literally ask her for some privacy, to give us a minute, because I wanted to ask my husband if he likes it or not. Bottom line is, the location is the worst, it is extremely overpriced for the value, it is not romantic, and the old lady will ruin one good feeling about the place, if there is any; the feeling is you'll be staying with this lunatic and she'll be doing you a big favor by letting you stay for over $ 260 a night. Do yourself a big favor, stay in Old Montreal, it is amazing. We ended up staying in Le Place D'Armes with the view of the Notre Dame, candles, champagne, that was romantic. Great place, stylish, cozy, not your regular hotel, the location was great, close to everything to see in Montreal, the service was amazing, they gave us coupons for free drinks in their really cool stylish bar/restaurant, etc. Check out for yourself, and do not believe great reviews you read about Le Petit Prince, the place is significantly overpriced. It is hard to make my husband uncomfortable, but he was begging whispering, let's just get out of here, that's how creepy that lady was and that's how uncomfortable it felt to be there. Best of luck!!!

“Fantastically eclectic and chic”

If not for the sharp and critical wit of director Pam, or the incredible breakfasts... you must come for the sheer pleasure and relaxation of Le Petit Prince B&B. It was an exhale much needed after so many stressors in our lives. ...Oh and the location is great too.
Thank you so much.
We'll be back!

“A rather dreadful experience!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2010

people found this review helpful

We recently stayed for one night at Le Petit Prince B&B in Montreal: the place looked lovely on the website so we decided to 'treat ourselves', regardless of the high price compared to any other B&B in Montreal.
Firstly we weren't impressed with the location: definitely not the best part of town: it felt run down and certainly not as charming as the French quarter in the East.
On arrival we were utterly taken aback by the irritable manager, Pam, who made no attempt to make us feel welcome: prior to our arrival I had explained via email that we would arrive in the morning to drop off our bags but would return later to check into our room, to which she had agreed; however on arrival she bellowed ‘What are you doing? Check-in is at 3pm darling!’. She then snapped 'take your shoes off or join the cleaning team' (!!!).
After that, with us completely caught by surprise, she enthusiastically took our map to tell us where we should visit in the city. When I mentioned some of the great places we had already seen she told me 'you've wasted your time' and to 'shut up and listen to me'. Gulp! We had some time on that day and were curious, so we followed her suggested itinerary finding out that it included walking along a highway in the north part of town - nice! [advice: if you want a classic, touristy tour of Montreal don't listen to her ramblings about going to the market]
The final touch came the following morning when we came down to breakfast and were told 'the sooner you eat, the sooner you get the hell out of here!' in front of another guest. And when we asked how to get to the airport with public transport, she answered that her clients use taxis, so she didn't know (she only looked for info on the internet after we asked her again).
In conclusion, the room was gorgeous with lovely furnishings (apart from the toilet being in the room itself, so not very private!). The Jacuzzi was also wonderful and the bed very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious but -guess what- Pam made no attempt to explain what we were eating, rather she plonked the food in front of us and then loudly 'ranted' about her negative opinions and her life while we ate.
It was a weird and surreal experience. It's funny how sometimes people completely unsuited for a hospitality job end up working in the sector and mess their clients around.
Of course if you don't mind paying and being treated with zero respect by a loony, then go ahead and book: just stay out of her way and enjoy the nice room!

“Absolutely without question the finest B&B in all of Montreal”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2010

My wife and I spent this past weekend at Le Petit Prince, we could not have asked or received better service from the manager Pam, who is the most real - down to Earth - charming manager we have ever met. The location is perfect, the room was extremely well keep and unbelievably charming and cozy. We will be return each and everytime we need a break and will never look elsewhere as long as Le Petit Prince is up and running.
Thank you!!!!!!!
