The house was very cozy and comfortable. Definitely a home away from home. We loved the king size bed and the en-suite bathroom was perfect. The towels and toiletries were very nice quality. Frederick was an amazing host. He was very knowledgeable about the area and always available to help make your stay perfect. He really went above and beyond.

Nice and cozy house
We stayed three nights in Lou & Francis Guesthouse. The house is nicely decorated, warm and clean, and our room is very cozy. There is even a private cloak room which is very convenient for us in this cold weather when we have a lot of jackets and stuffs. Francis was very helpful and friendly, he also cooked good breakfast, too. We will definitely recommend this to all tourists who come to Yellowknife.

Wonderful stay and experience! 10/10!
It was an amazing experience to stay with Lou & Francis Guesthouse. I was a little bit worried as I normally stay in the hotel when I travel, however I was attracted by the photos from L&F posted at Hotels.com so I decided to give a try. We rent the car at airport and the drive to the guesthouse was easy enough (10 mins). The house is very cozy, clean and almost brand new. Service is very personal and thoughtful. I will definitely stay here again if I come back to Yellowknife and I highly recommend this guesthouse to everyone with any trip purpose!

Nice room off the beaten path
My son and I enjoyed a two night stay. Room and en suite bath were clean and comfortable. Staff were accommodating. Transportation (small fee) was available and more cost effective than taxi.

Excellent hotel alternative!
Round this place on Expedia by chance on a week where ALL yellowknife hotels were booked solid. Price was great, room was clean, comfy, not to mention a soaker tub after sitting on airplanes for 9 hours enroute to Yellowknife. Had a little trouble reaching the staff via phone before getting there, however there was a note left on the door for me and keys waiting. The house is very nice, kept very tidy. Breakfast is also available, however did not have time to stay due to an early morning flight. Quiet residential area, however only a 5 minute drive to downtown and maybe 10 minutes from the airport. Will definitely be back next time I'm flying through Yellowknife.

優雅整潔，物超所值！
雖然地點偏僻，但可安排接送，房東亞Fred好客氣，亦好幫手，值得信賴！ 房間闊落，優雅整潔，還有衣帽間！唯近馬路較嘈！ 客廳、飯廳和開放式厨房共用，好大好舒服。 我建議家庭客或五、六個親友可包住就更開心！
