Nuns' Island Mountain Vacations

After the first night, I was ready to give the place a 1 star. Basically, I was jet lagged coming from Italy and just worn out. When I got in, the door to the balcony was wide open, but the worst thing was this noise like wind coming through a crack. I asked to change rooms assuming that was the problem, and there was no possibility of change. However, in the morning I discovered there was a button for ventilation and the forced air was the cause. Turning it off solved the problem. The room was fine with it off. Then the advantages set in. There's a stove and a fridge allowing me to make my own breakfast, really important when you're waking up at 4 or 5. There's basically unlimited coffee (you just need to ask) and best of all a washer and dryer in the room. They don't clean. It's like an efficiency apartment, but OK I didn't need that. The shower could have a larger barrier or a door, but it's not terrible. So it's actually, not a bad place to say two blocks from the metro and walking distance to a 24 hour bagel place for a real Montreal experience.

Clean rooms , close to downtown

Thumbs up again!

The concierge, Leonie, was just amazing. By the end of the stay I felt like she was our long lost best friend. She made restaurant suggestions and secured reservations we couldn’t on Open Table. And, her suggestions were really good even sharing with us her favorite menu items. She drew on the map how to get to the Jewish district for bagels. She called taxis. She made the experience for my daughter and me. Our room was large and very comfortable. Love having access to a separate tub and shower.
