“Fabulous place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011

person found this review helpful

This is the best B&B I've ever stayed in. I was so sorry to hear that they were closing the day I left. From the moment I arrived and had a very warm welcome from Guy I was impressed with the standard of service and the quality of the accommodation. The breakfast alone was worth the money - never I have I eaten so well for breakfast. Kent and Hector provided impeccable service.
Kent, Guy, Stephane and Hector - had the place not closed I would have recommended you to everyone!!
Many thanks

“Amazing breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights in August as tourists, exploring Montreal for the first time together. The location, though not ideal, worked for us because we didn't mind walking 5 or 6 miles a day, even in the heat. There are a few unpleasant blocks (around the UQAM metro station) between the b&b and Old Montreal, and we did not walk there at night. However, walking to the restaurants on St Denis was not a problem at night.
The room (Cinecitta) was attractive and spacious with a nice balcony; however, the shower is tiny and the tile on the bathroom floor was loose and unpleasant to walk on (and impossible to keep clean). Service was good, but often there were no staff on the premises, so we missed having time to chat and get tips about local attractions. Service for breakfast was excellent, and the four course meal is amazing. We ate from 9:30 - 10:30 each morning, then used the afternoon to sight-see and try several restaurants for dinner. Montreal is a great place for food and dining. We also enjoyed the Contemporary Art Museum, the Fine Arts Museum and the Musée du Château Ramezay. Although we flew into Montreal, we were going to Vermont afterward so took the Greyhound bus from Montreal to Burlington, which was a surprisingly easy and pleasant experience.

Room Tip: This room (Cinecitta) had tiny shower; not suitable for large person.

Stéphane and I thank our previous guests for their kind compliments and comments, all of which helped us to build a successful business. After five memorable years, we have decided to sell our home to pursue another passion in life, real estate. Absolument Montreal B&B will be closing on October 6, 2011.

Carpe Diem,
Kent Sanderson and Stéphane Costa

This is my second home away from home; I love the service,friendlienes and the great ambiance this B & B has to offer. Have stayed in a few other B & B in Montreal but this is the best and greatest I have encountered.
Ken , Stephane and their Team will pamper and look after you so well that you hate to leave this place .
Everything is in walking distance and I like to explore other part of this Great City Montreal is in my view a City with a strong European flair.

“Fabulous, pampering, great service, friendly staff -- stay here!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2011

My partner and I took our first trip to Montreal and stayed at Absolument. Guy and Kent greeted us when we pulled up and they were very friendly and welcoming. We unloaded our luggage and then parked our car in the reserved lot just around the corner. During our brief tour of the grounds, we were immediately impressed by the room (we stayed in the Tennessee room) and all the books, DVDs, and magazines lying around for anyone wanting a diversion. There were also loads of tourist information as well as gay-specific guides for the Montreal/Quebec area.

We stayed two nights (Friday and Saturday), and loved it all. Hector served us an amazing breakfast on our garden terrace--the food went on and on and all of it was delicious (so was Hector!). We also spent a good deal of time in the hot tub, surrounded by the many different trees and bushes, flowers, and enjoying the variety of birds that stopped by (our favorites were the cardinal couple nesting in the nearby tree).

The bed was very comfortable, and we had all the amenities we could ask for. The fridge was even stocked with complimentary sodas and water, and we had a nice pair of chocolates waiting for us on our bed pillows.

We loved it there very much and only wish we could have stayed another day. We will definitely stay there again when we next visit Montreal, and we've already recommended it to other travelers we met along the way. It was a highlight of our wonderful trip to Montreal.

Room Tip: I only saw the Tennessee room we stayed in, which faces the garden. There seem to be four rooms that...

“Best Breakfast in Canada”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 July 2011

We felt very welcome and get really helpful Infos, what to do in Montreal.
But first of all, we had the best breakfast ever in Canada. We will always remember that.
Of course we will be back, if we visit Montreal again.
