text: Le Nouvel is a boutique hotel located in the southern portion of downtown Montreal It is about a minute drive from the Trudeau Airport conveniently located within blocks of metro stations Orange and Green and is smack dab on a major street so is fairly safe It is also within a minute walk of just about everything in downtown Montreal from the Places des Arts Complex Desjardins Bell Centre Underground City souvenir shops Notre Dame Basilica and Chinatown The staff is very helpful and friendly The hotel was clean with the exception of an odd smell in the hallway of our room Other than that I did not have any complaints
