Hotel Nelligan, Montreal

Advantages: Big rooms, good location, no blood on the ceiling
Disadvantages: Slow lifts, shallow swimming pool

...Okay, this is my first travel review, as such, and that puts me in the dangerous position of being up for comparison with Koshkha, Richada and Torr, all of whom are brilliant at holiday writing, and are, in my opinion, possibly the greatest Writers Of All Time (although I haven't read anything by Dickens yet). So if you want to compare me to them - please don't, because I'm a fragile person. Right, disclaimer out the way. I went to Canada with my family this year, and our first stop: Montreal. In Montreal, you could find yourself staying in a Hotel, and if this is the case, then I can tell you now; the Hotel Omni would be a darn good choice for your stay. As soon as you walk in, you're in a marble tropicalia, with a big statue of a woman sitting down by reception and some of the most ludicrous chandeliers you've ever seen hanging... Read review

...Montreal is an amazing city. It is also one of the most multi-cultural cities in North America. What makes Montreal so unique is the fact that it combines the traditions of North America along with those of Europe.

The Quebecois people are very friendly and the atmosphere in Montreal is simply amazing. Montreal... Read review

...come through Toronto, your just as well gettting off at Fallowfield Stn. Ottawa station is not in the centre of town, its on the East. Fallowfield is on the west, but you'll save yourself time getting off there. The same bus 95 goes from fallowfield to Downtown. Overall i would recommend this hotel, and would go back. Its obviously trying to smarten its image, has a great location, and was very welcoming. Just be aware of the smoke. We got the Train from Toronto to Ottawa £72 return not in advance, 4 hours, You can do it cheaper on Greyhound coaches, around £50 return. Flights to Canada cost us £303 open jaw Manchester-Vancouver, Toronto-Manchester with Canadian Affair. They also fly to Montreal, Calgary and Halifax. Zoom also fly the same routes.... Read review
