Review from Becky S.

Here's the deal. You park in the garage under the hotel, which costs $7. You drag and carry your luggage up to the lobby, only to find that check-in isn't until laaaaaaater. So you drag your luggage back down. We did get a sweet deal, though. The guy behind the front desk gave us a map of the area as well, which we used the whole time we were there.
The beds? Average. The shower? VERY comfortable. The shampoos & lotions? Below Average. Left my hair greasy. The wireless internet took forever to connect to, and then was spotty. It wasn't worth it to stay on for longer than ten minutes. You'd spend that much time trying to re-connect. The sheets? Average.
I'd say this place was pretty average. It had a great location, though, walking distance from everything.
The spa? A little confusing. I went with a bachelorette party - seven of us. They staffed extra for us that day because we had made reservations about two months in advance. The pedicure was veeery sub-par. Good thing I went with the manicure option. They don't do tips, just paint changes. Their hot tubs are nice, but be careful because the floor gets REALLY slippery. I fell twice just walking around. The massage was of the gods and I wish I had done the 90 minute instead of 60. Acutally if they had a 240 minute I could have done that. It was awesome. Pricing wasn't toooo bad, all their packages are listed on their website. It was a nice, private place with no windows so it was really dark and decorated nicely. A great escape from the pre-wedding stress of being a bridesmaid! -

I think their rates run for around $70-80 a night. If you find a better deal, this hotel might be worth a look.
If you're visiting Montreal for entertainment, I don't recommend it. It's on Rene-Levesque, which means it's far away from everything (except for the Bell centre) and there's no metro line. I costs about $20 to cab from St. Denis or St. Laurent, where all the entertainment and good restaurants are. McGill, St. Catherine, and Crescent St. are walking distance though (15-20min).
The bed sheets were old and stained and there was a damp odor in our room. The beds are awful, so be warned those with back problems.
The restaurant and bar in the hotel isn't that good either. There is a breakfast buffet that is poor quality and over priced. They charge $15 a night for parking. They don't charge you for WiFi, which is good.
If you're in Montreal for business or watching a Habs game, you should consider this Hotel, as it's in close proximity to business district and Bell Centre, otherwise I wouldn't try to impress anyone with it. -

We booked our hotel on hotwire and ended up with Nouvel Hotel. The location is very good. It's just about two blocks from Rue Saint Catherine which is great beacause you're close to all the action without having to walk far but far enough away not to be disturbed by the noise of a busy street. It is also just about two blocks from the Alpenhaus restaurant which features delicious Swiss food and traditional fondue. We arrived at the hotel late in the evening then walked over to Alpenhaus for dinner. It's also about 2 blocks from the Guy Concordia Metro stop so it's very easy to get around. You can also easily walk from the hotel to the Musee des Beaux Arts, McGill and the Centre Eaton shopping mall. We had no problems parking for the duration of our stay in the below ground parking garage and had in and out privileges for about $10 a day. The lobby is stylish and clean. Our room was a bit small but it was clean and quiet. Even though while we were in the hallway we could hear some rowdy college girls in the room next to us, once we were inside our room it was nice and quiet. Our main gripe with the hotel was the lack of wireless in the hotel room. We even tried using an antenna that the front desk provided but still could not get wireless in our room. This proved rather inconvenient as we had to go down to the lobby and use the business center computers to access the internet. This was especially inconvenient for simple things that could be done so easily with in-room wireless, like checking the phone number for a restaurant or accessing a menu on line. So, despite the overall niceness of the hotel itself, I am deducting what could have been four stars for the sadness of the wireless internet situation.
