    Se magnifique! The Nelligan is the zenith of boutique hotelery- the quaint charm, location and legitimate panache of an Old Montreal inn,  with the full fledged amenities of a much larger hotel (gym, full restaurant and bar, terrace lounge, etc)

    Beautiful classic styling, immaculate cleanliness, wonderful exposed brick, open courtyard, modern baths with quirky Old City architecture, impeccable service. This offered all of the experience for a perfect hotel stay, at  a remarkable value.

    The perfect balance of old meets new, with nothing lacking. A resounding 5 star.

    We came here for their Cabane a Sucre on the rooftop terrace.

    The food was really good, considering at these things it can be really hit and miss, but they got it perfect.  The way the staff was dressed and the live music sets a really cool atmosphere for the tourist visiting Montreal looking for a little taste of a Quebec Cabane a Sucre.  Even for a local Montrealer it was nice, and it gave me a to see what the terrace looks like for the summer months, when I expect it to be overflowing with people.

    Looking forward to returning during the summer months

    I finally got to stay here because the dead zone after Christmas made this hotel finally affordable.

    The location can only be beat by the Saint Sulpice. I had heard that there is no gym in the St. Sulpice so Nelligan probably gives you the most full offering of a hotel in this class. Check-In had a surprisingly nice delight with a pair of free cocktail coupons at the bar - only that the cocktails are not for cocktails but for juice or house wine.

    The gym itself is in a small room with a TV that barely works but the equipment is in workable shape - lots of free weights and a universal machine, but the bench gets stuck easily when you're trying to adjust it. Someone should look into that...

    The room itself is great - nice and big with a nice touch from the brick. It got quite cold in the mornings even with the heat turned all the way up. The desk is big and heavy with lots of drawers -- only that I discovered that inside the drawers were minibar stuff, so if you touch it, $$$. Wifi was free but I had to unplug some of the lamps in order to find an outlet to charge my computer, not to mention all my other peripherals that needed charging.

    The bathroom was cool - the bathtub had jets, but my toilet never flushed properly. Also, there was a window right next to the toilet that faced into another building and housekeeping kept on re-raising the blinds for some unknown reason. The soaps and shampoos were from Gilbert & Soames and they were top notch - salon level shampoos, which is quite generous of them! Best smelling hotel soap ever.

    So all in all, I would say it's a nice hotel but at the same time it's a mixed bag - anything that is great came with a catch.

    If you're going to Montréal do yourself a favour and check this place out. Great location, excellent restaurant and an excellent vibe. Plus in the summer they have a kick ass roof bar.
    And yes the roof bar is open to the public, but I believe being a guest gets you priority access.

    While the hotel is a lot bigger than it seems, you'd never guess it from the personal boutique atmosphere and design. Every space has been given detail and elegance of old Montreal while making it modern and chic in a great location.

    I'd like to stay here again.

    I spent only one night at the Nelligan Hotel but I wish I could have stayed longer.
    Location wise is perfect, The decor is modern but you still feel the warm atmosphere of the surrounding old town.. I loved the 'French not too french' ambience, but what really impressed me was the outstanding care of the front desk. There was a problem with my reservation and they promptly found a solution and made up to me offering a wonderful breakfast free of charge and waived my parking fee.
    Well, this is what hospitality should be all about.

    If you stop by in Montreal, the Nelligan is definitely the place to stay!

    Stay here-We had an absolutely wonderful stay. We had a spacious room. The hotel is kept very clean; the staff is superb (front desk and doormen stand out, but others were good as well). We had a very good breakfast daily at the hotel restaurant.

    The location could not be better- right in the heart of Old Montreal. The concierge was extremely helpful and helped us find our way each day with great recommendations.  My boyfriend and I are seasoned travelers and we recommend this hotel without reservation

    The rooftop lounge was great, the perfect ambiance for a couples night out.  Service was a little slow out there but overall a great place to grab a drink and some appetizers.

    Excellent hotel in Old Montreal. We actually booked through http://Jetsetter.com and was able to get a SUPERIOR ROOM with fireplace and balcony. The fireplace was a nice touch.

    PROS:
    + Very clean.
    + Spacious
    + I love how the ice bucket looks like a bowling bowl.
    + The bed was just heaven.
    + Complimentary wireless was excellent
    + Bathroom was huge.
    + they change currency at the front desk. USD to Canadian dollars is 1 to 1.
    + if you bring your laptop to the front desk, they can print out stuff for you
    + valet parking is $25 - one time payment doesnt matter how many times you ask for your car
    + complimentary cocktails upon your arrival (vouchers can be used anytime during your visit)
    + they have an umbrella in the closet
    + around the corner from NotreDame Basilica

    CONS: (its really the bathroom)
    - the handheld shower head didn't stay on securely so when the water would get really strong the water would go all over the place
    - the shower knob was so far into the stall that when you would turn on the water you would have to go completely in the shower and wet with the cold water
    - the lighting...just poor..where were my vanity white lights?

    Beautiful, boutique hotel in the heart of Old Montreal. The staff is friendly, the rooms are beautiful, and the bathroom? I could almost live in that tub...especially using their fabulous bath products.

    Breakfast is included (delicious fresh fruit salad, a variety of breads, croissants, juices and coffee) as is a wine & cheese hour.

    My one complaint about the hotel is that there was some serious construction going on just outside our window that started every morning at 6:45 am. I wish someone had mentioned that there would be street repairs going on!

    My husband and I stayed here for our brief honeymoon this September and absolutely loved this hotel.  The guest services were great, and the room was beautiful.  We booked through Montreal's tourism website which was having a deal; if you book 2 nights, the 3rd night is half price.  Complementary wine and cheese was also included with our room each evening in the bar.  The bartender was super nice and fun, she even scored us some free concert tickets our first night there.  I will definitely stay at hotel Nelligan when I return to Montreal.  There was a nice piece written up about Nelligan in the NY Times right before our trip, so hopefully we'll still be able to afford it!

    The best parts of this hotel experience cascade out of the mind quickly:  historical and romantic section of Montreal meets soft bed and quaint privacy of a small inn.  As in most of Montreal, the staff is bilingual and "on in," ready to help with a timely resi or recommmendation.  The hotel's restaurant is a good choice for this part of Montreal too, considering that the city's stellar food options are mostly outside of old-town.

    This is a gorgeous hotel at a lovely location. The rooms are clean and very comfortable. The servers are attentive but not intrusive. I wondered what fragrance they use in their soaps and room fresheners - but the rooms smelled crispy fresh every time they were serviced. They also serviced the rooms twice a day - which was nice. The hotel is a block from the Notre Dame and a quick ~5 minute walk from the Museum of Archaeology. The hotel is not cheap, but it is totally worth the price.
