The property is centrally located in old Montreal. The staff treated us with a wonderful upgraded suite. Excellent Greek salad at Mechant Boeuf.
Excavation work directly in front of the hotel made accessing valet challenging. It took us 45 minutes to find the valet. It’s easier to put the restaurant called “Sea Salt” in your GPS. Construction also inside the hotel hallways.

Fabulous
We love the location of hotel being in the center of Old Montreal. Also love the old style quaintness of room and hotel. We stay here every time we visit out daughter.
Sadly was disappointed about outside construction which is no fault of the hotel.

Amazing beds (we want one), people and ambiance ... we will be back.
The people. Everything else could be perfect but if the staff and people who we meet are not what we expect then nothing else matters. We always stay at the Neligan affiliate hotels because of the amazing people who work there. From cleaning staff to restaurant managers and our individual servers, AMAZING!!!
The bathroom did not have sufficient counter space to prepare my wife's daily routine... the ladies appreciate this more than the men do... but equally as important.

Beautiful hotel in a fantastic location
Hotel experience was very good. Location was perfect and the room was clean and comfortable. Staff was very accommodating.
Construction in the area...and in the hotel...was not great.

The bed and pillows were the best! So comfortable!
All the uncoordinated construction going around the hotel

Excellent location - reputation - facility ( elevators had a fishy odor ) but yes I would certainly stay at your hotel a
Very nice facilities. VERY nice bar though many more on roof in the great weather. The staff at front desk and door helpful. Room was outstanding!
Wait staff on terrace on two different occasions were somewhat aloof and/or put-out a vibe of pretentiousness. Our sm group, two couples, were early to breakfast though not the first table. Service was SLOW non-attentive. Our waitress was polite, but as stated above… had a great self concept. Everyone following us were served before us, though we had excellent food.,. no acknowledgment of why the slow service and food arrival. Great venue !!! Thank goodness! The BEES were TERRIBLE …for lunch on the 16th and breakfast on the 17th !!

Stay in Old Montreal
The location is great although the street is under construction. The initial drive was tricky as the routes are changed due to detours.
We were on the 5th floor. The rooftop terrace is also on the 5th floor. If you want a quiet room, do not stay on the 5th floor.

A well presented large room with a comfortable bed. The staff were most obliging to fix problems. Good strong porter to help cope with numerous corridor stairs.
It was difficult to get the ideal room temperature for sleeping as the air conditioning was so noisy but if you opened the window there was street renovations occurring. Staff apologetic. Terrace a hotspot, pricey bar food.

Hotel Mulligan was exceptional. Next time I book a trip back to Montreal. I will definitely stay again!
I loved the location and the rooftop restaurant, and our room was amazing with a beautiful balcony
I really loved the property, but the only thing was all the construction going on which is totally understandable

A great welcome to the city of Montreal
Building works going on nearby prevented me from having breakfast on the hotel’s beautiful roof terrace because the noise was intolerable.

Fabulous hotel in the heart of the old town Montreal - highly recommended.
Hotel Nelligan is located in the heart of the Old Town which was perfect for a 3 night stay. The staff were so welcoming, kind and helpful and it was a truly lovey hotel. The highlight was the rooftop terrace and bar for breakfast, dinner and cocktails - we experienced them all! The king room was beautifully appointed, I would happily come again and highly recommend it.
There was nothing to dislike about Hotel Nelligan.

Old Montreal at its best
The rooms were a perfect combination of the old and new. Stones and bricks together with the most comfortable beds and pillows. But the best part was the wonderful staff who did everything to make our stay memorable

Nice hotel in Old Montreal. Changes to lobby since last visit were distracting, but rooms and restau
Breakfast on the Terrasse was very good and portions were huge!
The construction outside, though not the fault of the hotel. Made things a little difficult.

Everything was so clean and hotel staff very friendly.
Toilet did not flush well. The cap drain in sink was not operational. Otherwise very clean and well taken care of. Waiter at the restaurant was a good server but wasn’t overly friendly. That being said he did his job.

Good location
Staff were most helpful and friendly .Location was good but because of road works in the area made it difficult to get to and very noisy . Room was comfortable but room changed because of construction. Stairs to get to room were a bit of a struggle with heavy bags .Breakfast was delicious.
Hallways a bit dark - stairs a bit of a struggle with heavy bags . Problem finding hotel with all construction going on in the area. Outside noise and dust .

Gem in Montreal
We were upgraded upon check in. The room was absolutely beautiful, huge floor to ceiling windows. Beautiful jacuzzi bath. Wonderful original stone/brick wall. Beautiful touch with the le labo products. They were replenished each day, which I thought was very generous. Little chocolate with the turn down service was a cute touch
The gym was a bit too stuffy/warm. Opted for a run along the river instead

We will return every time we are in Montreal.
The Nelligan is simply a superb hotel.

Very nice
They were not able to give me a receipt for the stay, which was a first for me as a business traveler. Reception said that because I made the reservation via “Booking” the hotel could not issue an invoice, which I found a bit baffling.

Great
The vibe, room size, you could open the windows and the location was amazing. Also a very nice touch that there was complimentary coffee and water in the lobby
it was all good

Best place in the best part of Montreal!
Wonderful dinner at the hotel restaurant. Very busy as crowds gathered for the solar eclipse, but always great customer service at front desk.
The Nell cafe was closed due to renovations and the terrace had not opened for the season yet. But once the renovation s are complete the hotel and food choices will be awesome!

Very good
Great location in charming Old Montreal, close to many restaurants, cafes and main attractions, highly recommended for first time tourist visit to Montreal. Room was big and warm. Staff friendly and helpful. Love the snacks and drinks at the lobby.
Some parts of the hotel were being renovated while I stayed in Feb 2024, hope the building works to be completed soon. Parts of the common area eg corridors seemed a bit dim, suggest to adjust the lighting.

Just go and experience the place.
I keep going back to the Nelligan. I visit three times a year. It’s become my home away from home. It is in the perfect location in old Montreal. A lovely small bespoke hotel. Charming. Beautifully appointed. Restful. Cool. Spotless.
Not a thing. I stay in one of the petit suites. Perfect bed. Best pillows on earth.

Lovely, comfortable and accommodating stay.
very comfortable and attractive room. lovely scones and juice at front desk. welcoming service.
It was expensive.

It is in a great location, and is a cute and cozy hotel.
It was a cute, and cozy room. I liked the brick wall.
Our room was accessed by stairs, which was difficult to navigate with our stroller. Also, it made it a challenge to bring our luggage, with the luggage cart. The crib they provided was wobbly, so we didn't use it. I could hear the rush of water through the pipes when other people flushed their toilets.

The Restaurante that is at the moment in renovations, we missed that :)

Absolutely the best, don't look any further.
Excellent location in Vieux Montreal, short walking distance to all of the attractions and restaurants. Recently renovated modern and nicely decorated hotel. We had a very large room (501), possibly larger than most, it was across from the elevator, which was very convenient. Very comfortable US size king bed with 5 large comfortable pillows. Well-designed room features with reading lights and outlets on both sides of the bed. Large desk and sitting chair with ottoman. Large modern newly renovated bathroom with large walk-in shower. Absolutely the best shower ever with a multi-function shower head (body wash, hand-held and/or overhead rain shower with super water pressure and temperature control). Bathroom shelves to place your things on. Convenient valet parking, but pricey, 48 CAD plus 10 tip for one night. I'm not sure what other parking options there are close by; street parking in front of the hotel is by the hour. Easy designated drop off and loading zone in front of the hotel. Very nice restaurant attached to the hotel, we only had breakfast there, the food and service were very good and reasonably priced.
No luggage rack, we were afraid to put our suitcase on the glass top bench at the foot of the bed, although it may be there for that purpose?

Romantic bliss
We loved the size of the room, the quaintness of the room, brick walls. The coffee machine was one i was not familiar with and would have been nice to have the directions right with it. The hotel staff was above and beyond helpful. Everyone had a smile and was eager to help. The concierge made dinner reservations for us and im pretty sure helped with my request to have the room in the picture! I would highly recommend, its also on a darling street right in the center of where you want to be in old town.
We were disappointed that the beautiful atrium from the pictures was under renovation and the little restaurant was also being done over, We did have a night cap in the adjoining restaurant which was very convenient.
