Auberge Marquis de Montcalm

Couple in their late twenties One night stay Booked a room on June 17th 2018 and this auberge is a class act through and through. The B&B is family owned and the service is exemplary and always offered with a smile. Fifteen minutes after booking, we received a phone call asking us our ETA and wishing us a safe trip and that they wish that we have a pleasant stay in Sherbrooke. The family has owned this place for 17 years and you can tell they have put a lot of love into renovating it from its early days as a student housing building. The rooms are decorated country/Victorian style with lovely had painted frescos and paintings with ornate frames and lots of fragrant wood. Each room seems to have its own mini theme which gives the lodging plenty of character. With regards to cleanliness, the rooms were sparkling clean and the only qualm I had was that the shower was supplied with shampoo, conditioner but no body wash. However I never bothered asking the front desk for some but I’m sure if I did she would have been more than happy to track some down for us. The dining room is quite possibly our favourite part of the hotel as the room is furnished with miniature tables and chairs that have travel guides placed into them as well as a photo album of the hotel through the years. The breakfast was a perfect blend of Canadiana: french toast, bacon, eggs, fresh fruit, maple syrup, yogurt and coffee/orange juice. The dish was well presented and perfectly cooked, they even made my bacon crispy without burning it, which a surprising number of restaurants seem to struggle with. This hotel may not be the most luxurious I’ve been to but it knocks the socks off any Ritz Carlton or Fairmont I’ve been to with regards to personality and warmth. I would say this place makes you feel like family rather than like royalty. The owners also maintain a beautiful exterior garden, which is there to welcome guests and to send them off on their departure with one last hourrah. In sum, if you are ever in Sherbrooke, this is the place to be, you won’t regret it!

Fun decor, furnished with everything you need, comfortable bed, quiet and conveniently located. What more could you want? Delicious breakfast and considerate and helpful hosts -- yes! This B&B has it all.

Hosts are very helpfull and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious and the bed was very comfortable.

Very friendly owner, realized we didn't speak French well and did his best to accommodate and make us feel welcome. Very helpful in pointing out attractions in the area. The Marquis de Montcalm is about a 10 minute walk to wellington street and very close to many bars and restaurants. Great location! The rooms are definitely unique, there are interesting murals on the walls and the furniture is straight out of another era. I don't normally stay at B&Bs, but it has been a very pleasant experience so far. Haven't tried the breakfast yet, but with how everything else has been so far, I'm sure it will be great. Definitely two thumbs up!

Got the top-floor suite. Amazing and spacious room. Great decoration. Not 5-star because : (1) king-size bed is actually two mattresses... so there is a "crack" in the centre. (2) water temperature takes very long to stabilize in the shower (a few minutes). But than stays stable. Nothing major. (3) breakfast was delicious, although portion was a tad small. I was still hungry after breakfast. That said, the espresso was a welcomed bonus.
