Le Nouvel Hotel - Montreal

You need to tell guests to park first as we had a run in with parking police over being in front of the hotel while checking in. If the hotel manager had not come out to the rescue our car would have been towed away in spite of the sign that said we had 15 minutes to free park to register.

Great room for the money. convenient location. Very nice staff.

Le Nouvel Hotel's location is only a couple blocks from the Guy-Concordia Métro subway station. This gives quick access to all of Montréal. Also, this line connects directly to the Underground City, which provides a multitude of activities when the weather is not nice. Internet was included in my package. Many public places in Montréal also have free internet. If you bring a laptop for business or recreation, it is helpful for seeing all the attractions. One attraction not listed in the hotel's information that I thought worthwhile was O Noir. This restaurant is only a couple of blocks from the hotel. It is run by an institute for the blind. All service is provided in a dark environment by blind servers. My only complaint was the parking. The hotel lists that it has parking. When I arrived, I found that parking was available, but this was an additional expense per day. Since I used the Métro so frequently, I may have pursued alternate transportation instead of parking my car there.

The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The hallways were a little rundown. The hotel's restaurant was below-average and over-priced relative to food quality. The location of the hotel was sub-optimal relative to the downtown central but was in a quiet neighborhood. I doubt that I will return because I've stayed at comparably-priced hotels in Montreal that are better overall.

I stayed at the Nouvel for 2 nights and it was amazing. The staff are knowledgable and always there - 4 staff behind a small desk and english speaking. I stayed in the Admiral lofts and it was 10/10. It's on the first floor with a private entrance. The room was huge - pull out couch, kitchenette, bathroom with a hot tub and standup shower. The spa services are downstairs and were very good.

A good hotel--well matintained and friendly staff--but we oculd not find the pool. Also, for Montreal, it was a bit away from central locations though Metro stop was nearby.

Excellent Hotel located downtown area, for the Money you pay. Rooms were very cleean and comfortable. The bathroom was little small. Only drawback was that they dont have parking, you land up paying 20% additional for parking. They should provide free parking.

The hotel was in a good location and was very cheap for a king sized bed with a pull-out sofa.

I thought the hotel would be a little nicer. In the middle of winter, the walk to the metro took about 15 min. Close to St. Catharine but not close to the plateau. I would probably look for a place closer to the plateau next time. We had to pay extra for 4 people in one room yet they never gave us enough towels and soap every night. The pluses are that there is free internet and it is on a main street where cabs come all of the time.

Have stayed in a number of hotels in Montreal over the past 8+ years. First time in this hotel. Location was great for this trip as my son is at University and his dorm was across the street. However for shopping a bit out of the way. Parking was great. Have a SUV and being able to park it myself was a plus and charge was only $15. compared to $25 at other hotels. Will stay here again however will depend on reason of visit and what I would like close by.

My wife and I arrived with our 5-month old in tow amid a torrential downpour. The front desk said they couldn't loan us an umbrella, and would not help us take our bags out of the taxi. The rooms on the seventh floor ("Executive floor") were reasonably comfortable but not exactly what I'd call "luxurious." Really, the best part about this hotel is its proximity to subways and other stuff that is downtown. If you're not planning on spending a lot of time in the room, and just need a place to sleep between your jaunts around the city, this hotel will fit the bill. The good: Free WiFi, comfortable bed, good location close to subway and restaurants The bad: WiFi reception was poor in our room, in-hotel restaurant / room service is bad and overpriced

Hotel parking problem. We did not feel safe in the parking garage. Parking spaces were very narrow and limited. The hotel receptionist was not helpful. Hotel decor needs to be updated. Hotel rugs were smelly in the room and hallways.

Very close to subway stop. Helpful staff, overall good place to stop by for a few days.

Great hotel, amazing room for the price. Very convenient to St. Catherine's Street and all the shops and restaurants. Would consider booking this one again for a Canadien's hockey game! No appearance of "funny smell" people keep referring to either.

This hotel is in a great location. A block away from St. Catherine street, 4 blocks away from Crescent Blvd. and 3 miles away from Old Montreal, which didn't feel that far away because we were shopping while going to the Old Town. Clean and comfortable room, friendly staff.

THE HOTEL IS CENTRALLY LOCATED, WALKING DISTANCE TO METRO. A VEW YARDS FROM THE SHERATON. TAXIS ACROSS THE STREET. THE ROOMS WERE CLEAN AND VERY ROOMY.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

I got an upgrade so the room was outstanding. Breakfast was ok. Some parts of the hotel were rentals.

For those of you interested in being in downtown Montreal without necessarily being concerned about being directly on the main drag this is a great spot. 5 minute walk from Crescent St/St. Catherine bars, restaurants, and shopping which was great. Easy cab ride/subway to Old Montreal and everything else you'll want. For an extra $20 a night we were able to upgrade to a suite which was well worth it and one of the nicest rooms I've ever stayed in. Good 24hr gym, and very friendly helpful staff. Just don't order food at the hotel bar not worth it.

The hotel is tired and needs work. The rooms have not been upgraded including bedding. Their was a strong odor throughout the property. The staff did not go out of their way to offer assistance or information. They were not rude they were just not helpful.

Needs renovaton and updating. Have to have some amenities like coffee in the lobby in the morning and a better restaurant

The hotel is at a nice setting,far away enough from the main downtown area to be pleasantly peaceful, but close enough to be convenient. The reception area, the lobby and the general interior are charmingly comfortable.

This is hotel is a great value for the money. The location is close to Old Montreal and shopping. The room was spacious, very clean and comfortable.

very quiet location, no noise what so ever room was clean and comfordable... location was alittle out of the way, but 4-5 blocks you were at crescent st for all the restaurants.. good indoor parking!

We absolutely loved our stay at Le Nouvel Hotel, and the spacious room allowed a rollaway bed comfortably. For those willing to walk or take the subway, this hotel's location is ideal. Great attractions are only several blocks away, and some uphill climbs make for great exercise. The hotel's decor and cleanliness were great. We recommend it!

Location is right downtown. Concordia is right across the road. Parking wasnt free and neither was the breakfast. No prices or any indication was given that the breakfast cost money. Maybe I'm too german but I dont like finding out after the fact that my breakfast cost 15$. The design and feel of the place was very nice though. The heater/ac was kinda noisy.

The room was very nice, roomy, comfortable, no complaints. The TV was on the small side, and they absolutely need more English channels. My only real complaint however was what they charged for the phone. I made a one minute call to the US and they charged me 20x what the call could have possibly cost them. I'd stay here again, but I'd plan on not touching the phone.

Good location to Bell Center and social areas.

My wife and I had an excellent experience staying in this hotel. The hotel is very well located, close to Metro station (connects to old city), St. Catherine St. (shops, restaurants, etc.) and Bell Centre (sports). Additionally, when doing the check-in, the attendant upgraded our room, since there was a noisy group of teenagers in the same floor. We would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

I truly appreciated the fact that when we checked in, the clerk informed us that the room which had been reserved for us was on the same floor as very large group of teenagers. She asked us if we would like her to see if another room was available. We were told that the hotel was unusually busy that evening with many tour groups. The clerk had difficulty finding us another room so she asked the manager to assist her. We were given a wonderful suite in the rear building which appears to be more condo and suite type units. The front building, which borders Rene Levesque Blvd. seems older and much more like a standard hotel. We initally went into the older part and noticed an odd odor; couldn't tell if it was age-related or not. I would highly recommend trying to get a room in the rear building. The location was great for catching a hockey game at the Bell Centre; just a few minutes walk. Not much further was some good shopping on St. Catherine and Maisonneuve; plenty of restaurants to choose from. Parking was affordable and based on a 24 hour ticket which allowed you to exit and re-enter. Overall, very pleased.

The hotel was well situated in down-town Montreal, near Saint-Catherine and all main points. The room was a suite with kitchen and laundry, very spacious and extremely quiet. The heater was not working well in the room but there were enough blankets to compensate for that. Full breakfast was included but it was not that great. Hotel workers were very corteous. I would go back!!
