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.

Centrally located comfy hotel.
Super comfy bed and pillows. Nice rainhead shower and sprayer. Friendly front desk staff and terrasse bar staff. Great rooftop bar!
The rooms are super dark with old dark furniture. The bathroom lighing is pretty bad. The hotel itself is in need of and I believe starting a renovation.

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.

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.

Best Location, Great room Highly recommended
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?

Comfort and luxury in the heart of Old Montréal.

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.

Loved your hotel!
We did not have breakfast onsite. We were disappointed that notice of the onsite restaurant being closed for renovations was not posted on the website when we booked. We had been there before for brunch and also in the evening and loved the vibe, which was part of why we booked there. The adjacent venue was lovely, it just would have been nice to know that in advance.
The only thing that was a concern was the gym. The facility itself was great, especially for a hotel gym- clean, well- equipped and at stocked with cold water. As a woman, though, it was unnerving to be in a potentially isolated part of the hotel, in a room with only 1 door, no window and no connection to others if help was needed. Even if a window was cut out, to allow an alternate exit and visibility, it may help. A camera was present I think but notice of a call bell or emergency link would offer a more secure experience.

I stay three times a year. Enough said.
The Nelligan is my home away from home. Perfect location. Friendly, professional and attentive staff. Wonderful inviting room. Great place to hang out next to the fire with a book and martini. World class pillows. Good gym.
Not a single thing.

Beautiful and well worth the cost but wish policies for paying for chauffer ($100) and deposit for mini bar (200) were m
Simple clean design but fit in the area aesthetically
Tub and shower not clean initially. No biggie we wiped it all down :)

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
