Bed & Breakfast du Village
A Bed & Breakfast in the heart of the Village
Welcome
The Bed and Breakfast du Village, a story of love and friendship.
The BBV, nestled in the heart of Montréal’s vibrant gay village, offers its clientele a warm welcome in a charming central location that is only steps away from many of Montréal’s most interesting neighbourhoods. Our guesthouse is equipped with a variety of comfortably furnished rooms – each equipped with an individual air-conditioner, a friendly communal breakfast area, two spacious outdoor patios and secure indoor parking.
Our aim is to offer the perfect compromise between a stay in a hotel and guest accommodation in a private residence. We want you to feel at home while staying with us, and not feel as though you are guests. We run our establishment with utmost professionalism while striving to maintain a relaxed environment. With heart and soul, we do everything we can to ensure that our guests’ stay in Montreal is unforgettable and, whenever possible, we strive to meet their every need. Our establishment is in constant evolution with several improvement projects currently underway.
Come visit us and share in our charming piece of Montréal!
The BBV, a friendly and hospitable Bed & Breakfast situated in the heart of the Village offering you all the comforts of home away from home.
