No doubt about it, this is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. Located in the middle of Vieux Montreal, it's within easy walking distance to great shopping, dining, sightseeing, and the squeaky clean Montreal metro system.
The hotel is lovely, too. The room my daughter and I shared was exceptionally large, beautifully appointed, and immaculate. I'm a sucker for exposed brick walls. They add warmth and a sense of history to interiors---and this is perfectly true at Hotel Nelligan., where the retro feel of the brick walls is balanced by top of the line electronics provided in each room.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, especially the concierge Jeanne LeFebvre, who took care of us with an enthusiasm and competence that were simply outstanding.
Continental breakfast, free for guests, consists of delicious bread and pastries, yogurt, cheeses, hardboiled eggs, good coffee, a superb fruit melange, fruit juices, and more. Hot dishes may be ordered from the menu, at additional cost.
Though the hotel's two main restaurants get really good reviews,
the only other meal we had there was lunch at La Terrasse on the roof, overlooking the city. I had seared salmon salad on a bed of grilled, julienned vegetables---it was simple, fresh, and perfectly prepared. The wait staff and chef were very accommodating to our need to be served quickly so we could catch a taxi to the airport.
I'm so happy to have stayed at the Hotel Nelligan. I will certainly visit it again.
