Le Chasseur - Bed & Breakfast in Montreal

Le Chasseur Bed and Breakfast is one of the first Montreal bed and breakfasts still in operation. This house has been welcoming its guests from all around the world since 1983. It also has a long history of hospitality which goes back to the end of the nineteenth century and was the property of the Diocese of Montreal for a decade. It also accommodated the students while waiting for the end of the construction of a seminary. The industrialization of the city at the beginning of the twentieth century brought lots of inhabitants in search of better income and many houses like this one were transformed into pension houses to receive them. The house has preserved its character of 'rooming house' continuously since 1895. The numerous restorations improved the comfort of this 125 years old house: floors in original pine, modern bathroom, and flat-screen televisions cabled with high-definition service, Internet access station, secured and high speed Wi-Fi Internet, and high-quality bedding. We have a beautiful 200 square foot terrace (20 square meters) with a barbecue grill.
