This place is poppin'. With 2 connecting restaurants, a reception area, a lobby bar and a rooftop bar, there were always people in the area and something going on. This is a popular area of the city in Old Town. This was in my Top 3 nicest of hotels that I've ever stayed. You can see that the entire building was recently renovated and updated. I even took a bath in the clawfoot tub (I haven't taken a bath in a tub since around 2011). When I return to Montreal, I'll be staying here again.

Am I going off-kilter compared to all the other glowing reviews here? I hate to say it- but I will: this hotel has lost its luster for us. We actually stayed here on our last Dec '19 trip before the pandemic and I had to come to terms recently with some of our room's idiosyncrasies. Hôtel Nelligan thrives on excellent front-desk assistance as well as valet service- and I can't take that away from them. Can I also mention that our bed was crisp and comfortable and that even when breakfast began at 7am downstairs, we never had any food smells creeping up our room- which clearly tells me they must have a great ventilation system. Unfortunately, this bigger room we stayed in had a (1) smaller bathroom and only equipped with an outdated bathtub (same like our '19 visit) with a wall that was almost 3' high. 2) The outdated shower curtain was visibly wrinkled, (3)the bathroom sink had poor drainage (same issue from last visit) and took forever for the water to go down- so every time I washed my makeup off, I'd see unclear water clinging to the sink's inside wall. Just no. (4) Handheld shower head only. When I'm vacationing, I like my old school shower head mounted on the wall- not detachable. (5) Lighting was horrible- with almost a fluorescent tinge. And besides those 2 small ceiling lights, putting on my makeup was even more horrendous. (6) the tall wooden caddy used for towels and toiletries was retrofitted to have one leg on the floor and the other to fit strategically on the heater baseboard. Come on. And (7), I know Nelligan is going for that raw brick style- but the thick, almost 2" corner cement patched-up job is unappealing. I'll happily say, their Le Labo guest soaps/ shampoo/conditioner are very nice touches. But, sadly, I'll branch out to other stays.

Before I took this trip to Montreal, I researched many hotels in the Old Montreal area and from the pics and reviews- this one stood out then all the rest. I loved how the hotel kept its a mix of old Montreal charm and its updated a new structure. I think it was the brick walls that really caught my attention. The staff was really friendly and let me know I was early and my room wasn't ready yet until 4pm so, they put my luggage in storage and I decided to go wandering around town. This hotel is so centrally located. The Notre-Dame Basillica is right up the street. Place D'Arms is in front of it. The old port is one block from the hotel. From there you can take a walk along the st.lawrence river, take the Ferris wheel, or zip line. There are so many restaurants for different tastes. I finally checked in and loved the room but when I looked out the window, I saw. View of the alley way and construction. Not what I was hoping for. The desk clerk and the manager of concierge switched up my room to another more modern room as an upgrade with no extra charges. Very kind of them, I wasn't mad that I didn't have the nostalgic brick wall features. In the lobby waiting area, they provide different beverages and some light snack while waiting in the area. Another great feature with this hotel is the terrace on the top floor. It's a great vibe with good music, good food, and great drinks. The staff at the rooftop bar are very attentive and friendly. I spent 4 days at this hotel and I would definitely want to come back again. Thank you Nelligan team for creating a good experience for me! A Bien Tot!

Superior room, king bed

Staying with Hotel Nelligan was a relaxing and amazing experience. The Superior Room with a king bed was so spacious and charming with its brick walls. The staff turned over the rooms twice daily, ensuring we always had a made bed, clean towels, and new soap/shampoo. The location was perfect- right by amazing restaurants and the port, and a couple-minute walk away from bars, close enough for convenience but far enough to not be noisy. The rooftop terrace overlooks the Notre Dame Basilica and always has catchy ambient music playing. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to anyone!

The company I work for had their sales conference the last two days in Montreal. I spent the last two nights at the Hôtel Nelligan in old Montreal. My room was huge! The bed was big and comfy! My room had a mini fridge, a safe in the closet, bathrobes and slippers, and a coffee maker. WIFI was complimentary and was speedy at times and barely existent at other times. I couldn't figure out how to turn the fireplace off so left it on the first night when I went to sleep. My room was cold so I turned the thermostat up to 85F and it didn't make a difference. The bathroom was especially cold. I was talking to some of my colleagues last night about how cold my room was and they said the fireplace also threw heat if you turned that part on. I mentioned it to someone at the front desk about my room being cold and the thermostat not working and she offered to send someone up to check it out. But I told her I would try to get the heat going in fireplace so should be fine. I figured out how to turn the fireplace off but not how to turn the heat on ... the blankets kept me warm. This morning it was chilly and I was determined to figure it out ... and I did. It didn't throw a lot of heat but it helped. The water pressure in the shower was strong. The bath tub was awesome and I did take advantage of it. My room faced the street and it was noisy early in the morning with garbage trucks stopping and picking things up. The hotel is in Old Montreal with lots of restaurants, attractions, etc.

Amazing stay! Simon was so helpful and kind! We loved the location and feel of the hotel. We will absolutely be back for another stay! Beds were so comfortable.

After a lot of research by hubby (yes, I made him do all the homework - it can be pretty exhausting checking on all the online reviews), we ended up selecting Hotel Nelligan for our first visit to Montreal. This was our stop for one night enroute to Quebec and then one night on return. It's a very quaint property, right in the old town and close to a lot of the historic "must see's". We were able to walk down to the waterfront one our first day and then spent a good 3-4 hours walking from the hotel to the art district, the little Chinatown area and then through the newer downtown shopping district areas pretty much discovering a lot of what Montreal town has to offer. There are a lot of great restaurants and shops close by. The room was beautiful, we upgraded to get a few of the St. Lawrence River and liked the ambiance and cozy setting. Upon our return, our room wasn't ready so they "upgraded" us to a suite which was bigger and had a fireplace but the view was right at the street in front of the hotel. I can see why some of my fellow yelpers said it was noisy. I preferred the orientation of our first room and would recommend paying for the upgrade to get the view with less noise. The bar/restaurant on the upper floor where we were is extremely popular and there were a lot of people up and down the elevators and in the hallway when it was open. Not a plus if want a more quiet atmosphere. We loved our stay and the staff was friendly and helpful.

I loved loved loved staying at the Nelligan! Came here to celebrate my anniversary with my fiance over this past weekend; arrived Friday night from NYC and left today, Monday noon. We like to consider ourselves low maintenance so our only true interactions with staff outside "bonjour"/"au revoir" when coming and going were checking in and checking out. And that's fine, dandy, and enough with us. Arriving on Friday night around midnight, our concierge greeter was very warm and welcoming and asked us what we had planned, if we needed help on what to do if we had nothing, and offered us assistance if anything! He asked if we had dinner and even apologized that it was so late as the only thing available for us to eat was pizza lol. Checking out at noon, a female assisted us and offered to hold our bags since our flight was for 5 pm and we still wanted to do some gallivanting. When we came back, they offered us their taxi services to the airport and tipped us off that it was rush hour and it might be more expensive to uber. But all is good, uber was still cheap. Still! 10/10 kind people. Only thing that was kind of weird was that our toiletries were only restocked 2/3 of the nights by housekeeping, and the second night we didn't get a new body gel, but it was alright, we used the bar soap lol. Also, I see that some people really love that brand of lotion/shampoo/conditioner.. I loved the smell but I'm dry everywhere! Haha hotel things. Word of advice: please be prepared to bring your own bottled water and your own toothpaste because we did not have any of our own on night 1. We're low maintenance and I'm just shy so we waited until Saturday morning to purchase our own lmao. When we came back from exploring around the evening time, I saw that there were two pieces of chocolate and two bottled waters on the desk but too late and we didn't want to be charged so we left those untouched. Now our room. It was lovely, pictures actually really don't do it justice. I was confused before; is the brick/stone the old Montreal aesthetic or are they trying to modernize or what? It has both feels. Even when I booked via expedia, I was only thinking of location and hot tub. I wasn't super in love with the look, but I was pleasantly surprised. Room 304, petite suite. Another yelper actually uploaded pictures of it, if it's the same room, but here are mine too. It was clean, the bed is spacious, and the TV has chromecast. Downside.. the wifi is probably straight trash. It works well, then it doesn't (noticed the mornings are a better time to browse social media and do anything internet related), the local channel on the TV is also lagging, and ugh! That I wish they could do better on. Anyway.. only thing wrong with our hotel room visually was the crack on the floor by the toilet but who cares! If you want quiet, this hotel might not be it, because nightlife over the weekend was pretty poppin' and you can hear the chatter below you. But fiance and I loved it, because we're younger and all and looking for that! The location was perfect for us. So much to do a few feet away. Please expect us again!

I wish I could give this hotel 10 stars! My friend and I were on a girls trip and stayed a few nights here. It was the perfect location, great shopping and places to eat all around! The staff were so nice, the hotel was quaint yet updated where it should be updated. Our room wasn't ready when we got there so we went to the rooftop bar and honestly forgot that we were just wasting time until our room was ready- we had fabulous wine and snacks and was the perfect sunny day! The room itself was amazing too- I always have to sleep with a noise machine or earplugs with sound being a light sleeper, but the fans in the bathroom were sufficient and I didn't hear a peep from the busy streets right outside the windows. We even slept with them open one night, the weather was amazing! The bed was perfect - I wish I would have looked to see what brand it was. I will always stay there when I go to Montreal in the future!

Very nice! Strategically located in the heart of Montreal!

Very nice boutique hotel. The entire ambiance is comfy and "aconchegante". Perfect located in downtown Montreal. The food at the restaurant is also worth it. The terrace is to take your breath way. You can enjoy an evening watching the city light outside while having good food. Will absolutely retune to this place!

Relax by the lobby.

See all

We had a mixed experience working with this company to plan our wedding at their Salon Richmond,…read moreand felt it was important to share. On the positive side, the space is stunning and the food was excellent - both were highlights for us. However, our experience on the planning side raised several concerns. Communication and expectations were unclear from the outset. We initially believed we would be working with one team member, but later learned that a different person would be managing our wedding, which was not clearly communicated and created confusion early on. Throughout the process, we found the planner's approach to be rigid and not particularly collaborative. We were open to guidance, but often felt that our preferences were dismissed in favor of doing things a specific way. During our tasting, for example, some of our menu selections (chosen directly from the venue's own offerings) were criticized as not being "classy" or "elegant," which felt inappropriate and unnecessarily condescending. There were also multiple instances that felt unprofessional, including meetings starting late and recurring interruptions during scheduled time together. We also encountered a significant issue regarding payment transparency for a vendor booked through the venue. A deposit we paid was invoiced as a payment toward the band, but was not fully applied as such, and this was not disclosed at the time of payment. The matter was only resolved after escalation. While it is clear that the team is capable of executing events, our experience did not reflect the level of professionalism, transparency, or care that is essential when planning a wedding. A wedding is not just another event, and the planning process requires a level of respect, communication, and client focus that we did not consistently experience here. Due to these concerns, we ultimately chose to move forward with a different venue, as we did not feel confident continuing with the planning process. Based on our experience, we would not recommend this venue for weddings. Couples should proceed with caution and ensure they have a clear, documented understanding of vendor payments, responsibilities, and expectations before committing!

Housed under the vaunted ceiling of the grand, neo-classical former Royal Bank of Canada building, the cafe, we agreed, was most impressive when we looked upward at the marble and historic detail. It was just when our gazes gravitated toward ground level that we became less entranced. It was a zoo, a triggering tourist vacuum with an endless queue. There was nothing wrong with the attentive staff. What got on our nerves was the complete indifference of entitled customers in front of us, especially families that require constant attention and selfishly barricade every open table. It took us quite a while to find a space for us as we waited for our C$6.47 12-ounce Iced Lattes (Photo 9). It was the first time I saw a surcharge for ice, C$0.22. Anyway, despite the crowds and the middling coffee, it was worth the stop for the architecture. I wondered if the common workspace on the opposite side of the counter was worthwhile for locals. Obviously it meant little to us as tourists. COFFEE - 3.5 stars...rather middling considering the setting...what's with the surcharge for ice? AMBIANCE - 3 stars... historic architecture compromised by the crowds SERVICE - 3.5 stars...pretty efficient considering TOTAL - 3 stars...worth the stop but probably just once CORRESPONDING REVIEWS Dandy: https://yelp.to/91vXGUrXOo Centre de Commerce Mondial: https://yelp.to/ECo5MJJgGa RELATED - Exploring Montreal?
