This Night Club belongs to the category of Lounge.
This used to be an Amex lounge, with great amenities, but lately the ease of getting in and out is cumbersome, with signing in and showing boarding passes
Except for the alcohol abundance the food is poor and not appealing
Very cozy place to relax and have a drink and snack while waiting for the airplane.
It is an acceptable place to wait for your departure instead of the gate. Food is just ok, not many choices compared to other airports lounges. Nice outdoor view.
Spacious airport lounge with a good bar setup and decent food selection
Nice staff, really busy, but cordial guests. So the services you need: Wi-Fi, plugs for recharging, wc, food, drink, and comfy chairs with a view.
Just fine. Very small variation of food and beverages!!
If you come here with anyone under the age of majority, you are restricted to a small area that is not clean. In other lounges I haven't had any issues with my 8 year old daughter sitting with me in the general area.
Dirty
Very clean and updated lounge with a nice selection of breakfast items .The only request is that hot items are labelled gluten-free.
Best experience. I have been to a number of lounges in different cities but this experience was one of the best. Martin and Angelo were super helpful, caring and friendly. All the other staff were also very nice, but didn’t get the chance to get their names. Most comfortable 8 hours spent at an airport ever. Highly recommended. They had good food, cocktails, snacks, hot and cold beverages, all inclusive in the admission.
Nice food and service. I miss more flight informationboards and WIFI info.
This is one of the better Priority Pass lounges I've visited in Canada. Much better than the lounges at Pearson. The staff were friendly and the selection of food was larger and definitely tasted fresher. The amount of space available meant that there were many seating options, another issue with the lounges at Pearson. I hope to be flying out of Montreal more often so I can enjoy this lounge.
Pretty nice spot... If you can find it! The National Bank lounge wins the award for hardest lounge in Canada to find! Once you get in though, ambiance is relaxed and chill. The room is beautifully lit with very nice furniture. Hot food seems so-so but the salad bar looked great. Slim selection of booze with some very cheap bottles (ie. Moldovian sparkling wine). Bathrooms very very clean! ????
Self serve lounge so you better know how to pour your beer. The food is good but not very diverse. Poor choice of drinks as well. The wifi is good and the seating is comfortable.
Was very good for the time and the purpose!
Very good place, food, and service.
Decent food selection. Constant lineups for bar because of one server and a lounge with huge capacity. Quiet, good wifi, clean.
Good place to rest. Food and averages are quiet good.
I was traveling with my 2 boys and they wanted 30$ so that I could get crackers and free Wi-Fi for 45 minutes...my kids are 9 and 10...they could have waived that fee...
Comfortable
Over crowded. Slow to clear tables. Generally untidy .
Not as busy as Air Canada lounge and a nicer selection of food
Disappointing food. Did not find it worth it, better hang out in the regular zones if you want to have a good meal before your flight.
This is the best way to survive an airport. If you are going to be in an airport more than 2 hours you need to experience it in a lounge. For the price or if you have a credit card of the sponsor of the lounge you are granted entry. It is quiet, you get free newspapers, very comfortable chairs, you can charge your electronics, have access to better washroom facilities, food, drinks, and alcohol are all included in the entry fee.
A very nice and relaxing lounge. If you're a member of the Key Lounge, you get alcoholic drinks and a hot and cold buffet, which is all self serve. A maximum of 3 hours stay. At check in you must present your boarding pass. The staff were very nice and kept everything clean.
Cool but be careful not to use the computers made available until they deploy windows 10 in kiosk mode.
Excellent food. Great service. Great view of the tarmac.
It was a little crowded today (but very busy outside! so understandable); vegetarian options were limited but enough to find something to eat. Coffee is great!
They have snacks, meals, and and open bar available. They also have a great view of the tarmac so it's a great spot for aviation enthusiastic travelers. Staff are very helpful, and they keep the place clean really well. Only downside is they don't call you for your flight which is important to me.
Well furnished and maintained, clean. Good food selection (except for desert) and good service.
All a bit quiet owing to the Pandemic. Shutting tomorrow, apparently. Wide range of beverages. I did not properly test the food owing to protocols. Didn't see any gluten free options. Family area. Friendly and professional staff. Hope to visit again in the future when all this madness dies down.
Nice layout and views. Food is a big let down. One soup and a one hot meal. No stacks.
We are regular users and this place is a gem. But today it was very crowded and not pleasant. But usually it has great food, good wifi and a nice environment to relaxe and wait I recommend
Martin & Aries are the best hosts. Thank you
Great way to relax prior to take flight
Amazing staff, low-medium quality food, couches a bit stained. Spacious.
A great place to relax and renew before your flight
Very pleasant staff and relaxing experience. Very recommended
It is an OK lounge. Lots of places to seat comfortably, food is OK, beverage selection is OK. Problem is it gets crowded easily and when it does, it can get very noisy. Bathroom was dirty and need some maintenance. It's OK to get here if you have to spend few hours. Otherwise, save your money/pass.
The room was spacious and the chairs were comfortable. Room felt hot though, seemed as if AC wasn't working.
Top class service! Victoria goes above and beyond ????
A lot of amazing free stuff but a tad work out.
Food good. Not usually crowded. Very comfortable, bright and clean
Victoria was so fabulous and delivered our food with speed, all while being so lovely and charming. She made us feel very welcome! The food was great, and the overall service and atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.
Worst lounge I ever used.... Attendants do not greet or even smile to guests.. They are ha going together chit chatting all the time.. When asked a question they answer while they are walking ad if they are really busy... Food is cheap and washrooms are not clean..
I visited this lounge in August 2017 and the food was not good, but today they improved a lot. The chicken curry was tasty, the veggies were done right. But the rice was cheap Uncle Ben's style. The staff was friendlier, the place run in a more professional manner.
Great food, great menu, great service.
The National Bank Lounge at Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport reminded me of a bus station that had been converted to an airport lounge using decor found at Jysk. It’s run down, filthy, and some of the staff look like you have just ruined their day. If you’re motivated to get a MasterCard just to use the lounge, maybe think again.
Entrance line is a little slow during busy hours. Friendly staff and decent food and bar selection.
Customer Service top notch and easily one of my favorite lounges. Refreshments/snacks were replenished timely with many offerings not found elsewhere. Must visit for Priority Pass members!
Absolutely the best lounge an airport can have..keep it up :)
Great place to spend time in this airport if you have free lounge passes. Wouldn't necessarily pay the entry without the passes though. Perhaps if you had 4+ hours it would be worth the cost of admission.
Nice lounge, but food lack quality and choices. Only Budweiser available whe so many micro brewery could be discovered by travelling people.
Extremely professional service and warm welcome by Martin at front desk Truly a model employee
Food is very repetitive. Would love to see more variety. Spacious.
It's nice and clean. The food is pretty good and it's very cosy.
Excellent food AND Enviornment !
Lounge is OK, had a free visit with my MasterCard. It’s big and has comfortable seating but not enough desks to work from. Food is OK but would expect more if you are paying. Otherwise it’s clean and ambiance is quiet. Between this lounge and the Air Canada lounge, I would say they are pretty similar and if you had the option it really depends where your boarding door is located, they are at opposite direction one to the other at roughly 5-7 min walk.
what i found so exceptional was just how kind the staff is. Food is nice, the drinks were nice but the staff: wow.
Nice quiet lounge on the 2nd floor. Separate adult only and family areas which was nice. Lots to drink including name brands. We were there for breakfast so typical fare was available...eggs, ham, potatoes, fruit, etc.
Its a nice benefit having access to a lounge during longer layovers. I only gave 4 stars because my two visits here have had constant wifi issues with the VIP login. However their best features is that they have tonnes of plug ins for devices, and have some hot food for layovers (both times had a protein, starch and veg) and a half decent salad bar. Bathrooms are clean and big bright windows for natural light. If they can get consistent wifi, this would be 5 stars.
I visited early in the morning so the food selection was limited. I used my priority pass so I'm not complaining too much but if I had paid money I would have been unsatisfied.
Little choice of food and drinks. Not worth it
Amazing lounge, most people don't understand that the law prohibits minors from accessing a bar area in the province of Quebec, and the lounge gets the blame. The parents of these minors are not blocked from bringing food back into the family area, nor are the children barred from the bathrooms. Also, don't post pictures of the staff when posting reviews, it's rude and pointless. Friendly staff, lots of room.
Very crowded. Mediocre food selection and not very tasty. Quite messy lounge area - esp carpets were really dirty. Their alcohol permit expired so no drinks other than some very light wine. Not impressed.
Horrible staff. Kicked out for supposedly staying more than 3 hours in the lounge "according to camera footage", despite having a receipt proving I was not. Avoid like the plague.
Spacious area, the decor is nice but the furnitures are a bit dated. Food choices were minimal. Overall, an okay place to sit and relax before making a trip.
This is a great lounge, and it's much better than any of the Maple Leaf Lounges at YUL. It's brighter, the chairs are more comfortable, less crowded, and the food is much better too. If you travel to YUL with any regularity, do yourself a favour and pick up an Amex Platinum for the Priority Pass membership to use here.
Nice selection of food and beverages. Friendly staff. If you have Priority Pass and some time between flights, you should visit National Bank World.
This lounge was very clean and tidy. Good food for being at an airport, but the service.was great. Keep up the good work.
Very nice, clean and quiet atmosphere.
I spent a bit over an hour here. The staff are courteous and the seating isn't too bad either.. However when it comes to food the lounge didn't have much offer particularly for vegetarians. There is a demarcated area for families with children and I noticed that an animated movir was being played on the TV there which I think is very thoughtful. I wouldn't particularly recommend the lounge to anyone who may have to pay to enter. If you can just swipe your card then go ahead.
Great service! Love my experience there.
Here on 24th Dec (Tuesday) evening and very disappointed with the poor selection of food available. Alcohol offered is on the lower end but the place seems fairly tranquil, seat was not that uncomfortable. Guest resting their bare feet on the Ottoman ???? it makes the place look like a low-cost lounge. Surely this should not be allowed?? There is a little play room for children too which is the first I've seen compared to the other lounges I've visited. This would be great for the parents and for other guests.
The food used to be ok but last visit they really upped their game! Better food and some sparkling wine. The lounge looks cleaner than before
My first experience there was fun. More leg room and free food and drinks made this layover more enjoyable.
Very clean and good assortment of food and drinks
Comfortable and quiet lounge where to relax and have a bite when your plane is late. Nice staff eager to clean the sitting spot and replenish the buffet.
Worst airport I’ve ever been. Boring, no service and not reaching the standards you would expect from this city.
Love it however it could be bad when you are with your family then you need to go to a special corner with no food. Over all it's a nice place to stay while waiting in your flight
Very good good and service. Thank you
Very Nice experience.. free food and alcohol or drinks.. comfy chairs.. thanks Mastercard!
Great food. Great service. Spacious washrooms.
Wonderful welcome and service by front desk Martin
All foods are vegetarian and 50% of them have cheese. I expect better foods for 32USD.
Nice Visual upgrade however the alcohol options seem to have been reduced.
Hopelessly overcrowded. No seats and they were still letting people in. Kept running out of food, which was a horrible pasta. Almost no power charging points. Left and used the general terminal facilities instead.
Good lounge at YUL, located at Intl terminal, near the gate A53. The selection of drinks and food is not superb, but it's fair enough. Staff are helpful and friendly. It can be very busy during weekdays.
Lousiest lounge. Poor choice of food. Low quality appetizers. But clean.
The lounge is cool, however, the food in the family side isn't that great, the food was at best warm. In the adults section there was more choice.
The staff was very friendly Food was good . Can't wait to visit again.
We were lucky enough to be in the lounge on their first day of reopening and Victoria and the team made my family and I soooooo welcome..thank you..Great service!!
This airport lounge is pretty ok. It will let you rest up a bit and have something to eat/drink before boarding your flight. Don't expect luxury and outstanding food and service though, it is just fine for passers by.
Great food. Great space. Really nice staff.
Everything was perfect! Victoria is a really love. Thanks again.
Martin did a great job in welcoming guests.
Enjoyed a wonderful experience at this lounge. Was welcomed by Martin at the reception with a bright and wide smile (hidden under the face mask) and he ensured that I was well taken care of after settling in. Considering the constraints the services was top notch.
Ran out of red and cold white wine at 8:30 on Saturday night. Food looked awful. Evacuated to a restaurant instead. BA need to sort this out, unacceptable for this to be their lounge at YUL.
Lounge is small and has no windows. Food selection is very limited.
Poor. Queue to get in. Far too busy, very tired and dated, and very average food and drink. Never again.
Enjoyed my time here specially early morning it is not that busy and food was fresh I had a great time with very polite and professional staff
Great place to hang out since our flight was delayed. Good food and great bar selection. I thought it was very expensive to pay full price for kids since they can't eat much and don't drink alcohol.
Really enjoyed my stay in the lounge. Very attentive staff. Greeted by a very knowledgeable and friendly employee. A great oasis away from the craziness of the airport. Made our time between flight very enjoyable. Great value for what you get compared to other food/drink options in the airport.
I guess it's ok... If your credit card pays for it. Otherwise, it's basically a self serve cafeteria with an open bar. Very crowded. I'd have a much nicer experience at a bar next door... Better looking too.
Comfy. Ok food. Perfect rest area before a long trip or in between one.
A nice spot to relax before a trip especially for delayed flights , snacks and some food along with assorted beverage help you defeat your hunger if you rushed to the airport.
Not a big variety of food but quite nice and well organized
Friendly staff. Food is good, could be warmer!
Food wasnt that's great, kind of like hospital food. The staff were nicd
What to say ... I deserve this! Thank you National Bank of Canada!
Thanking the servives provided by Sylvia!
For YUL standards (low ones) its a good lounge, better than the Desjardins one for sure.
Good place to stop before a flight for free drink and food if you are a member of bnc mastercard and other known one
Quiet and comfortable lounge. Reasonable food. Not crowded at all during lunch time
Bigger space than a few years ago. They started well, they continued at an inferior general quality level, now they are struggling to control what you eat or drink. Desjardins lounge to try!
It is fine, but cannot be compared to other airport lounges.
Nice lounge, but they should more clestly identify the food as suitable for different allergens. Also, it is dissapointing that it will only be available to elite members after the summer of 2018
Lacks in food selection.. when we got there the entire bakery section was out and remained so for the entire time we were there. Seats were old and tattered, some were stained and in general this place is in dire need of a clean up. Kids section very small and has limited toys
Comfortable space to relax and have a drink. Welcomed improvement to see the bar converted to serve yourself.
Great lounge. It was a bit hard to find because it was lacking signs at the airport. The Maple leaf lounge are very visible in terms of signs. The food selection is great. There 2 beers on tap available and an espresso machine for cappuccinos, lattes and espresso shots. There were also 4 types of juices and flavered water that are self serve.
...you get what you pay for... or not ...this lounge is one of the lowest quality I've experienced so far ...food and decoration are average, so are customers ...the organization of space gives no sense of intimacy, too much crowded so ambiance is that of a supermarket ...too many seats present blatant signs of excessive wear, unacceptable for a lounge whatever its standing ...nevertheless, personnel is friendly and helpful
Mediocre food quality. Almost no choice in food and drinks. Seats are comfortable. Good view.
It is a little PAST gate 52. When you get to the gate, keep walking past the Maple Leaf International Lounge and look for the entrance to this lounge on your right. It can be easy to miss. Inside, it looks like it's been renovated or at least has some upgraded furniture and fixtures. Food is decent.
Not the best lounge here but the value you get sure beats any restaurant in the building!
Excellent before flight. The food is not the best but it is ok
After being in the lounge in Quebec I expected Montreal to have a better lounge since it's international. There were about 5 different liquors and the food looked disgusting. Unless you're going to go wild on the alcohol don't waste your money there were no conference rooms or any privacy you'll be more comfortable spending your money downstairs at a bar and getting decent food. No tvs or entertainment either. Update: found the business area, no privacy only 2 pcs and PCs look like they were found for free 5 years ago, you'd be better conducting work on a cellphone. Even had an error message saying it may be compromised. The wifi is also not fast enough to stream media without buffering.
Pretty middle of the road as far as lounges go. Seating was tired. Food was about as boring as lounge food can get. Self service bar with decent selection was a plus.
Nice place to wait for your flight, the food was pretty good, rice was undercooked but overall good for an airport and better than a lot of the restaurants in the airport. We had a promotional free entry so it was worth it but I would not pay the base fee, only worth it if you have free access. Also note there is no service for the food, it is a cafeteria style and you bring your dishes back.
Decent food ...but can be a bit overcrowded at times
Perfect! Had an amazing time here
Service is good Food is cantine quality, 1 main dish, teriyaki chicken with uncle Ben's rice and vegetables. Arrived at 12:30pm, seemed like the food has been sitting there for a while. Soup is watery (butternut today) Beverage selection is good, including beer, wine, hard liquor, espresso, juice
The worst lounge ever there is, no cleaners to remove the left overs of travelers before me, bad attitude of workers, very fussy & annoying place to rest & wait for your flight if you come early, I travel frequently, travelled to Canada many times since the 90's when they used the Mirabel airport as the main one which was amazing & used Trudeau airport 5 times but didn't have the time to visit the lounge before this time. I have been to so many airport lounges as a business traveler all around the world but never experienced such a horrible experience as this "lounge"
For a free Salon you can't ask much more. The few alcohol selection is more than enough and the food is quite fair (one meal and multiple options aides to eat or make sandwiches). During week-ends evenings it can be difficult to have à place to sit. Edit : at my last 2 visits there was a 45 minutes lineup.
So far so good! Staff are really great and the pandemic measures they've put in place seem very reasonable.
PSA: Following recent changes at yul, international departures and domestic departures are now separate. This lounge is no longer accessible to domestic travelers.
It's a lounge. I know, not much praise there, but frankly, there isn't much to praise. The food/drinks are about two shades south of "meh", and the place can get quite crowded. That said, if you're there when it *isn't* crowded, it's more open than the rest of the airport, and the seats are somewhat comfy, so I guess there's that...
Great lounge, amazing staff. There's some room for improvements regarding snacks ????
We spent about 7 hours in the lounge. A quiet, large place. The spread of food especially for vegetarians isn’t much. The lady who was managing the food counter was really customer friendly and cheerful as was the counter staff. Good to see that????
victoria is the coolest person ever and she was super nice. shes a cool kid for sure :)
Food was halfway decent. Selections very limited. drinks were horrible and also limited. Pretty disappointed. Victoria was nice.
Had an amazing experience! Pudding Chomeur is one of the best desserts I’ve ever had in my life. Buffet style is not available but everyone is so attentive and gave us everything we needed and more! A must to visit if you’re in Montreal! ????
I really thought that the lounge was awesome. Hard to believe people complain about it. Feel free to pay for an over priced sandwich and glass of wine if you are not satisfied here.
The lounge is nice and classy. It gets a bit busy during late afternoons and evenings. Dinner was good. The buffet had Jasmine rice, vegetables and butter chicken. They have a good coffee machine that serves varieties of hot drinks. They serve soft drinks, beer and cocktails. Dessert is limited. Men washrooms doesn't have urinary.
Fantastic service, food, facilities. THIS is what all Amex lounges should look like.
Terrible. It's a sad place. Probably a lounge in Kenya ia better.
Very happy to have a most pleasant experience here on their first day of reopening. Victoria was so friendly and she is very good at her job. All in all, the entire staff, very friendly and welcoming!
Excellent & calm lounge where i dined with my wife and younger son.
Best lounge in Montreal, great food and drinks
I purchased platinum cc from national bank they advertised it as a free access to their lounge in yul, at the airport they denied access to the lounge saying they only accept elite cc , this sounds as a scam to me, I am going to file a complaint against the agent who sold me the cc “150$/year”!!
Much better than the old place...now you can actually see the activity taking place on the tarmac...also bigger than the older place and because there are only international flights that have free access, there are a lot less people and sufficient seats
Travel would be way worse without priority pass - and the national bank lodge in YUL is solid. Great it’s back! Cheers to Angelo and the team!
No yogurt, only one coffee machine was working, and now I heard that we are going to have to pay to be able to have access. Isn't it enough that we have to pay an annual fee.
Try to avoid it. Dirty. It it was a hotel, it would get 2 stars.
Food isn't so great... Beside that, it's a great place to spend time before flight
Martin was helpful in guiding me the transfer procedure. Over all service is best quite a relaxing lounge.
Nice new lounge with lots of seating and windows. Good selection of food and drinks.
Now only for world elite card owner. They charge 41 dollar for everyone else. Even for invites
The staff is very friendly and professional! The Lounge adapt well to the new circonstances and offers delicious meals at the table. Highly recommend
If you don't have one. Get your MasterCard elite..worth every penny
Good food, good atmosphere, comfortable seating.
Good and clean lounge area. You can have food, coffee, and alcohol as well. Food quality is average but it's good enough. They have sparkling wine, red wine and other liquors. And the staffs clean the food counter constantly. And fresh food is been served. The only drawback is the bathroom. It's not so clean compare to the lounge area. But overall it's an enjoyable experience. Recommended
Good food. Good service. I don't like the fact my little sister doesn't have much selection on food in kids section. If you have kids, their meals are very limited and the quality doesn't seem as good as on the adult side.
Spacious lounge, nice hot and cold food selection, complimentary alcohol mixed drinks too
Pretty spacious and bright lounge with a nice view of the tarmac. Food is ok. Nothing extraordinary though.
Very nice lounge. Lots of seating space. They have two stations to get food. Many different choices of snacks and warm food too. Alcoholic drinks, coffee, water and soda available. Impecable washrooms and friendly staff.
Comfortable, quiet, clean, fast WiFi. Decent selection of drinks. Food selection could be better though.
Will not let you in if the airline puts you on standby. Pretty useless policy considering other lounges let you in if your boarding pass says standby on it.
Very nice lounge, fairly quiet despite the size. The food could have been better but not really complaining. Great staff!
Best service by far in comparison to other lounges I’ve been in here in Canada. The service is excellent, food is not bad and good presentation too. Staff are all attentive. The only thing I kinda didn’t like is that there are lots of people going here. It felt tight and slightly noisy
Very crowded. Food was mediocre.
Great breakfast options. Clean and good ambience
Bright and spacious lounge. Food and snack options are good. It is a very relaxing place to rest prior to a long international flight.
excellent service and food — staff was attentive and lovely despite the difficulties coming alone with having a lounge open during COVID
Excellent place for a 6 hour layover. Comfortable couches, good food and drinks.
My experience during the time of covid was pretty amazing we were here in 2021. The only thing you have to keep in mind is they let you check in the lounge is before 3 hours of your flight. So if you have layover of over 3 hours they charge you double If you decide to check in early. So let's say if you have 8 hours of layover you have to spend approx 5hours outside the lounge and then check in. Staff is however very friendly and helpful. Washrooms are clean and tidy. They make sure to give you nice seating and they bring your food at the table. For drinks you have to go to them. The only down side is they don't have showers they only have regular washrooms. Over all a good experience.
Guy who greeted us at the desk when we came in was super moody, mumbled all his words incomprehensibly and simply shouldn’t be working in customer service- hopefully he was just having a bad day. Lounge is standard, staff inside the lounge very friendly compared to the one guy at the desk.
Not the best airport lounge out there (little food selection, not much entertainment, regular design) but still nice to have.
That was such a great experience, thank you National bank, the best bank for the quebecoise!
Average lounge. Food is so so but overall it was a good experience. There are many power outlets through the lounge and enough seats.
Not so good food options
Very crowded. The food is bland and poor in general. Often difficult to find a seat. In saying that it's not a bad place to wait fir your flight.
Really impressed with the quality of the food! Would not expect to have chicken so good at a mini airline buffet. Great selection of food varying from breakfast to supper with a nice selection of liquor on tap. Bathrooms are super clean. Seating is spacious and has a charger available for your devices before the big trip. Spacious location and very clean with kind staff. Would pay the extra to go there again!
It was crowded but I still had great relaxing time. Food was delicious.
Really bad service, bad food. I was shocked. Nothing much to eat, no snacks at all. No diet soda. Both coffee machines were out of order. Really disappointed
Amazing experience and amazing Hanadi who made sure we had a great experience.
Best lounge personnel ❤️
Great option to relax after getting through security and an amazing way to get away from the crowds..
Great food and room layout. Clean.
We received a great service from Angelo and his staff. Thanks ???? keep up the great hospitality.
Weirdly, the food wasn't that good. Heard good comments, was not impressed.
This place is so legit. Food was unreal for a buffet. They have a self serve tap with two beers, wine, and liquor. Definitely a good place to stop by.
Great waiting lounge, accessible with some credit cards. Check if you can get in, it's worth the visit!
Love the lounge! Could do better on the food
Nice, but you can easily forget your flight so pay attention to the screens, no announcements
I’m not a member. I payed CND$56.34 to stay here. With a limit of 3 hours. The food reminded me of high school (chicken on tomato sauce, overcooked vegetables, fake potatoes). Nothing special about pastries. Bad pastries in Montreal? I would risk saying that the pastries were once frozen. The coffee? Should I call it coffee? I cannot find one item in the available food that could save the day or justify 1/4 of the price to get in. The place was probably 60% full, busy and NOISY. You have nicer places to sit to rest or work, better quality and more options for food (for less money) outside the Lounge. Airport washrooms are clean. The airport has WiFi, or just use your own data. Only two reasons someone would stay here: if it’s free because they are member or if you like to drink alcohol. Overall, the place is lacking enthusiasm, quality...
Incredible service! I frequently used this lounge before the pandemic. They closed for 16 months and reopened with a table service style. Incredible service and food! Our hostess Victoria was amazing and made us feel right at home!
Nice atmosphere, good food, great bathrooms. One of the nicer lounges on Priority Pass that I have experienced.
Excellent lounge. Victoria is a rock star!
Maybe they were understaffed, but generally dirty dishes everywhere, beer kegs empty, and only cold cut sandwiches. Not super impressed.
first time in a lounge and I can't go to airport without going to one anymore. this place has free food. great quality. drinks alcohol and good quality coffee. service is great also.
The best among all other national Bank lounges. Beautiful view and good food!
Very bad and cheap food. Every food outside of this lounge is better. On the other hand, good wifi, a lot of seat, very clean. This lounge is very very busy.
decent place, nothing crazy. they barely had any food and the hostess was very rude. I have the card man, just because I'm 20 wearing leggings doesn't mean you get to stare at me and ask me extra questions.
nice food and a lot of drink. clean and convenient
I paid for it and it's not even open ...
A very nice place to lounge, have a bite and a drink before your flight
Big and comfortable lounge! Have plenty of space but does have big traffic all the time due to a lot of people with connecting flight. Have good options with drinks, food. Each seat has enough space between other seats and nice big window to get some natural light. Most of staff very helpful and quick. Was also impressed to see one of the staffs looking for a guest with flight that he almost missed while he was busy with his work - quite personalized experience i have to say
The lounge is great, it's definitely worth a visit if you can. The front desk staff was sort of rude to me twice. It's a bit of a shame considering this lounge is supposed to provide a great customer experience.
Good place to wind down waiting for a flight. they do check more their food offering as to stop people from abusing more.
Excellent curry chicken, not too busy, friendly staff. Great stay while transiting at Dorval.
Nice lounge. The lady checking me in didn't acknowledge me a long time while I was standing there waiting and instead stayed on her computer. She then proceeded to emphasize multiple times that there is a 3 hour time limit only. I only came in due to my 4 hour flight delay so it kinda felt like being kicked while I was already tired/down.
Stopped here with my partner while making a connection on our first international trip since Covid. Access was easy via Priority Pass (Amex Platinum). Lounge is huge, comfortable, great light, and very clean (Covid rules were definitely in place and being respected.) Table service is offered for food and had such a positive experience with Victoria during our layover here, who was super kind and took care of us. Highly recommend!
It's a nice place to relax if you have a platinium card. World cards are not accepted anymore
Far too small for the number of passengers they are expecting. Reasonable hot food but small selection. Drinks are served rather than self service, hence very long line to get a glass of wine!! 5 minutes wait just to get into the lounge. The staff are all very patient and efficient, but the place is simply too small!!! Surely oneworld alliance can have their own lounge?
This is a good lounge for most travellers in Heathrow. It is a bit fiddly to get to as you have to go down one floor and up two. The food is adequate but nothing more. The internet works well and there are plenty of seat. There are not a lot of flight screens and the flights are not called.
Victoria was the most amazing server!!! She took great care of us, was very attentive, and was incredibly kind. She makes you feel right at home.Thank you for the best service!
Victoria provided fantastic service! Lovely stay this lounge and hope to return
We found this lounge to be very quiet and the seats were comfortable. The real surprise is the quality of the food. I would easily recommend coming here for the food especially the poutine!
Big and cozzy area. Lots of different options to breakfast and friendly staff. The restrooms are big and clean.
Great food and service. Joumana was kind and attentive to us despite being busy!
Loved this place before a flight highly recommended if you have the means! Comfy chairs and nice and bright with free hi speed wifi. Beer taps, mix drinks and food. We had the chicken with rice! TVs playing the hockey game and friendly staff. Offers orange juice and sweets. Along with a salad bar.
We were worried about not having any alcohol served here. But we took a chance and came. They have a great selection of alcohol, and regular drinks. Simple and good food choices. Nice calm atmosphere. Will come back forsure.
Not the best but a decent place to visit. I used PP card. So i have low expectation. But service is very friendly.
Peaceful lounge. Clean washrooms. Coffee is fair, watered-down orange juice and hot food fairly cold and bearly eatable.
Horrible. Thought it would make sense to go to grab a light meal before my late night flight. Entry gained via Priority Pass and paid 28$. It was very crowded due to many late evening departures. There must have been a climate control problem because the temperature was HOT. The food? Cheese tortellini or “Portuguese” Rice. Both over-cooked, and neither were substantial for a long flight. Everything else was picked through, like the two desert offerings. There was staff buzzing about, but they did not seem to be replacing food or napkins. A number of chairs were in serious disrepair and their USB and outlets did not work. We left early to grab a seating at a resto below. What a waste of cash.
Good food, drinks, friendly staff and stylish design. Liked it all.
We had the best experience at the lounge, Martin was incredibly professional and courteous. The entire staff were absolutely awesome.
Flight notice board wasn't up to date, and no announcements meant we almost missed our flight - will avoid this lounge in future
There was very few choices here. Not comparable to any other ones
Good food but people were very loud. Taking on phone very loudly.
Overcrowded and poorly managed. Dozens of passengers were kept waiting at the reception desk for people to leave. Clearly the lounge is too small to meet the demand and needs a drastic redesign.
Good service and make sure you drink lots of alcohol to calm your nerves before your flight!
Thanks to Martin! Great service by the entire staff!
Victoria was a great help, brought us our food immediately knowing we were boarding soon, the entire staff was friendly, and the food was very good.
An alright lounge with a kids section, though it wasn't loud while I was there. Beer on draught self-serve. Food selection was pretty good. I liked the lentil soup!
Nice food ansome variety of alcohol drinks. Good space and really clean
During today's visit, there was a particularly delightful ratatouille and a rather saucy chicken! And I washed it all down with a cold pint of Cheval Blanc wheat beer. Great experience! Would lounge again!
One of the better lounges out there. Food is much better than Air Canada lounge.
Good solid lounge, nice food and drinks. No nonsense
Descent food all you can eat & good amenities.
There's one thing that doesn't make much sense for me there: the so called family section is approx 1/3 of the total, has less food options and is overcrowded compared to the rest which is virtually empty. So it looks like people with minors are somewhat discriminated against. It should be the other way around, as we bring in more business.
Comfortable with decent food and drink whilst you wait for your flight.
Nice place! free drinks free food. What more do you need.
Upon entering the Banque Nationale Lounge, Assistant Manager Sylvia greeted me with a big smile and welcomed me awesomely. She and Victoria made my every wish come true. The lounge was immaculate and sanitary. The food delicious. Thanks Sylvia and Victoria for kicking off my travels spectacularly!
Great, relaxing good food and drink
Very busy, not enough crockery or cutlery. Staff running on very slow speed. I would not pay for this again. Limited food choices.
Nice place to relax before a flight, Good food and drink selections.
5 stars in the league of N.American lounges. Would probably rank 4 I'm Europe or Asia. Spacious, clean, fast wifi, decent food and staff is nice.
Spirit selection is poor compare to the old location. And they serve a cheap wine selection. Not sure I will renew my world elite...
Free drinks and food !! Woohoo
Martin was great as usual
A little place of civilization after hours of flight time. Food, snacks, beer and wine and the perfect combination of quiet time inside the airport.
Victoria is a star. She brings smiles to people's faces with her unique humor and openness. Thank you Victoria!
Not impressive but we still enjoy to go there every time we travel. There's usually enough sittings for everyone. Overall clean area but regular maintaining the area. Clean bathrooms. You can have basic drinks (beers, wine, some liquors). You can have a hot meal or snacks (sandwishes, pizza, salads) but nothing fancy.
This is definitely a nice alternative to the maple leaf lounge but a tad shy on the alcohol side. If your looking for a great spot to lounge and take in some sun, you will not be disappointed.
A lounge is always better than the airport waiting area, but this particular one is below average in my opinion.
what an amazing experience it is, the service was topped with Victoria's unparalleled services, smile and cheer
Pay to use lounge wise, especially the one included in Priority pass. This one has far exceeded my expectations. Food is excellent and the service is attentive. It is certainly not Lufthansa FCT level but given the accessibility, this put …
Loved my time at the lounge! Martin and Angelo were the best hosts!
Nice space with a view of the planes. Very friendly staff. Nice local beer on tap. Small food selection for breakfast.
Okay space to escape the noise in the Terminal. Tired and worn out seating and got very crowded really fast. Food and drink very average.
Nice and open lounge, good selection of drinks. Could use better food but decent spread of appetizers. One of the better lounges I have visited. They accept priority pass and loungekey, pretty sure you can pay without any type of lounge membership to get in.
Comfortable with separate area for families. Good drinks and food. Nice place to relax. However they could use more bus boys because after peak hours there are dishes everywhere and it's hard to find a clean service to put stuff on. Very nice staff and they work hard to make it pleasurable
Food was good, wine was better. Furniture getting shabby. The maître'd ( not sure of title ) was very efficient & helpful, filling in where he was needed.
We enjoyed very much the excellent service that we received at the National Bank Lounge at Montreal’s Dorval Airport. This was such a pleasant experience during our first air travel in the shadow of the COVID Pandemic. The food was first class, the servers were very pleasant and manager was doing a superb job managing the lounge. Thank you very much!
Yes a quiet lounge to escape from the hustle of Montreal airport but food is bland. Been here twice and both times have the same rice with beef stew (flight crew having it called it mystery meat which is quite apt), and Ratatouille (tomato paste with almost cooked vegetables). On the plus side the alcohol is fully stocked, so they have fixed the previous review where only one alcohol option was available.
Great views and relaxing ...nice atmosphere
It was my first time at a premium lounge. I was not expecting to get free alcoholic beverages. The place was clean and the staff was very efficient and friendly.
They have separated adults with children into a lounge at the back in the corner away from the Windows. You have to go to the other side of the lounge separated by a barrier in order to get food. Once you have food you can come back and order an acholic beverage from a waitress that comes by when she is not tending the restrictive Gate to the other side. On top of that they have a tray of cookies full of Nuts. Good luck to you all in the children's section with nut allergies. Worst lounge ever. If they would have told us the lounge was split into two zones before entering we would have left to spare the bad review.
As far as lounges go... For north America this one is highly above average... aka Hot food AM & PM. They have a good drink selection and LOTS of space.. never feel crammed in like other lounges.. If you pass through Montreal often, you will notice though the food is ALWAYS the same.. they don't really rotate they menu... But it is good
Food and drink selection as well as no service
Good lounge, wifi is very slow, stay on mobile network or airport wifi preferably
Great place Good food Drinks ✓ View ????
Clean lounge areas, decent food selection, great bathrooms and average-slow internet.
Good food, nice hosts, 2 sections (over and under 18), nice view, not very fancy but convenient.
Fantastic service, good food, clean. Tremendous.
Joumana was so awesome! We had great food and drinks — it’s a perfect place to have a layover in Montreal! Thank you Joumana for your hospitality and friendliness!! :)
Over-priced, shabby, and with unappetising, over-cooked food. That said, wifi was fast and staff were friendly and helpful.
Excellent lounge to relax before your flight. Martin was the front desk officer and he was extremely nice and also explained everything. Thank you for the experience
A really good place to spend waiting time at yul Airport. Covid mesures are perfectly respected, food is excellent and the staff, especially Victoria is professional and welcoming.
It's alright. The staff are ultra friendly and pleasant... The food is... Eh. There's a weird smugness in the air. Basically, it's a great place for travelling alcoholics (free alcohol etc) :)
nice VIP lounge. great food as well
Very small area kids are allowed, the biggest variety of food and washrooms are on the adult only side. Waste of money.
Juuuuust perfect. Man, the comfort, the food, the amenities, the royal class of service. Sure made life easy and enjoyable connecting flights that were 6 hours apart. Totally recommended.
The quality was not there at breakfast runny weird yellow eggs. Cold breakfast patatoe s and bacon. Not worth the price.
Nice view of the tarmac. Nice (but slim) selection of food and alcohol. Staff is very friendly and it was pretty quiet when I was there.
I wanted to drink whiskey or vodka. But the available drink was terrible. And the test of food is not interesting. It was a bad experience
Not available for US transboarder depatures
Great service and superb food, reasonably priced lounge access. Martin served us very well. Great place to spend a few hours before our next flights.
Super service, food is ok
Food was good. Seating wasn't the greatest, no private areas, and it was super busy.
Pity full Lounge, having to queue for a quarter hour to get in, nowhere to sit, nothing to relax, nothing to eat. This is not a lounge, anybody with a national bank card can get in (meaning half québec population).
Excellent lounge. Friendly and attentive staff, food selection of drinks and food. Great free WiFi.
One of the best experiences I've ever had. Super friendly staff and comfortable lounging experience.
Tiny selection of food. 1 chicken dish, 1 rice, 1 vegetables. 2 beers that didn’t pour well. Some spirits, but no gin. Also too busy for the size. Though they had cordoned off a sectional of seating, seemingly some VIP section or maybe a non drinking section that was used by two people.
pretty costly but all U can eat and drink sounds nice, don't forget that the family not included in the price :) Uve got to pay for each member- even if its a child
15/10 would recommend I absolutely love everything about this lounge. Friendly. Accommodating. Exceptional service. I was taken care of by Martin and Angelo, after being very tired with 2 delayed flights, and traveling alone with a baby. They took care of me so well, and were so warm and genuine. I even bought a Priority Pass while I was there in Martin’s recommendation! Don’t even bother to go to the Air Canada Lounge, they are snobby and very rude. Bank Nationale Lounge is exemplary.
It's all in the expectations, and I was expecting a little more. There's better food in corner stores. But it's better than sitting in the terminal.
Nice atmosphere, nice service. Food is ok The wine is not good
Great as usual, decent food, superb service and a relaxed ambiance
Martin greeted us and was absolutely amazing! So helpful and friendly, made our stay extra pleasant :)
Angelo was amazing!! Great service!
The staff was incredibly friendly and the space was perfect for our layover! Wonderful experience!
Very simple lounge layout. Two separate areas where food and drinks are served. Food is simple but nice. Nothing fancy by any means. Suitable place for relaxing before a flight and charging your devices and grabbing a bite.
Great lounge. The served a butter chicken buffet style lunch with alcohol available - for MasterCard World Elite cardholders whether you are with National Bank or not.
Oh yeah. So nice place to spend some relaxing time.
Great place to relax. Had lasagna and a few drinks!
Lovely lounge and very clean. It had a great selection of items and very attentive staff. I will definitely be visiting again if I am at the Montreal airport.
Martin, the host and Angelo, the bartender were incredibly friendly and helpful. Martin in particular, brought a little extra positive spark to our stay at the lounge. His professionalism, dedication and overall vibe was not only refreshing but allowed us to truly enjoy what would have otherwise been a routine stop on our way to the gate. Give this man a raise! He is a blessing to this world.
Food was ok. Rice has been sitting for there for awhile. Tea selection limited to green tea or black tea. Only one receptionist to admit, took forever.
Victoria’s was great, so sweet. Best way to begin a vacation!
So so, the setup n space is good, very comfy, bright. But the food is below average in terms of variety and quality.
Always great, good service and food in good. Thanks everyone
Great experience! Friendly staff. Thank you National Bank.
Quite a bit of room and nice selection of food and drinks. The airline status board should be in more locations. I could only find one in the food service area. There is a good amount of comfortable chairs with access to power or usb sockets. The staff were friendly and very prompt in keeping the place tidy. It was a little hard to find.
A huge thanks to Sylvia and Martin ! They’re welcoming smile made my day - they were friendly and professional. Un gros merci !
Watch out - this place fills up quick because it is so good! If you have the National Bank World MasterCard, access is included with your card. Staff are very polite, and the food and snacks are welcome relief from the traditional junk food that the airport offers. There is a business centre, and a few TVs, usually tuned RDS channels. It's located just after gate A51. Some other lounge cards (such as Priority) are accepted here.
A bit busy and loud with children. Short staffed so bar was closed at times for short periods.
Busy place but very clean and plenty of good snack options
No hard alcohol but they do have beer or wine, the lounge is very clean and elegant, food is good but not huge buffet choice. Good place to kill time and recharge while waiting for your next flight.
Not great food selection. Place was crowded and very basic.
Nice lounge with a nice view. Friendly staff, variety of food and drinks too.
Very limited choice of food and beverages. It's the same kind of food and no variation.
pretty solid lounge. good hot and cold food available. decent bar and drinks. good interior decor
Surprisingly good food for a lounge (a few hot food options plus a salad bar, soup, and pastries), very attentive service. A well-kept and visually attractive place.
Good selection of food and drinks. Quite noisy even with covid.
Fantastic and well designed lounge
Victoria is an absolute first class ambassador for the lounge. Very happy to see you even with covid restrictions you are state of the art customer service. Thank you for everything you do to make us feel at home away from home.
totally substandard. ok for first time flyers. a lot of catching up and improvements required. i was ever so disappointed!
Nice and clean. Good service. Good selection of food and beverages.
Great service, amazing people. Martin was very helpful. I wish they served vegetarian options too, but the servers were creative in modifying the food options to accommodate.
Very pleasant . Service good. Staff were very friendly. Food was good. Love the choice of water-cooled,room temperature or bubbly -all on tap and also choice of wine or beer. Very clean and private bathroom.
The food was very very great. The service was extraordinary. Everything looks very nice too, very clean. Victoria was our server and she was amazing!
Worst experience ever in any lounge ! Even if you get free access, i believe it's not worth it
Beautiful lounge. Very hospitable and delicious food!
They are not as fast as other HSBC branches
Pet friendly place!! ????
Not so welcoming staff. Limited food options. Will avoid. Lounges need to do better.
Coffee is important to me and this phone simply doesn't have good coffee. Vancouver and Winnipeg lounges there is a person making your coffee, and I'm talking espresso drinks, but not here. There is some all-in-one machine that puts out a very poor product. Two stars are for excellent staff, one star for okay food. Two stars missing for not having good coffee.
Martin and Angelo are amazing, they are very customer service oriented and friendly. However the lounge shall improve the food variety
Great service and they let service animals in, kudos!!
Good looking lounge. Dinner was tasty and there was a good option of beverages. However, the lounge isn't very big.
It's a good place for waiting your flight
Amazing lounge the crew was very nice ????????
Utter disappointment. No food variety. Meat and potatoes in the breakfast were stale. Servers are unprofessional and keep chit chatting amongst themselves. The area just below the lounge was just the same. Seems like they just put up a door upstairs and made a lounge out of it. Downside: no shower! The whole airport looks very old and needs upgrade.
The seating and layout isn’t bad. That’s where the good part ends. The food is absolutely hot garbage compared to other lounges. The menu today consisted of: Apples and oranges Beef stroganoff Jasmine rice Ratatouille Pea soup Cold bread with tomato sauce aka. Tomato pizza Bagels and bread Cold cuts and cheese Two bite Brownies and trail mix. For such a foodie city the food options here were pretty lacking.
We had a wonderful experience, service and food were excellent! Grateful this was an option for our 7 hour layover
I loved my experience at the lounge with a warm welcome from Martin and the great company and outstanding service of Angelo. Thank you & hope to see you again very soon.
Poor food and drinks selection. Ambiance good as was the service.
Decent food and drink selections. Did not wait to get drinks. Plenty of seats to choose from.
Excellent service. Thank you so much for hosting us and making us feel safe and welcome!
A very basic lounge with limited food option . However I heard that this lounge is better than the Air Canada lounge which is adjacent to it.
Martin was exceptionally kind ! He even remembered us from our visit more than a month ago. We rally appreciated it! Thank you!
Great spot to relax before your flights
Place was full. Made people wait in the stairs, including people with babies and an old man with a cane. No communication except shouting at us to wait in the stairs. Waited 15 minutes, they could not let us know how much longer we would have to wait. I left. Seriously stop including free access to everyone if you can’t respend to demand.
Nice open air lounge. Great view with ample seating. Butter Chicken and Rice on the menu today.
Can get a bit crowded at times. Food is decent, open bar with beer wine and some liquor, coffee, power outlets at most seating areas, WiFi. Flights and departure times posted on screens. 3hr max stay
Mind blowing hospitality. I have never felt welcomed in a lounge like this. Martin was great at welcoming me in and Victoria had the passion to serve with all her heart. Not an ounce of frustration after all that hard work. Keep it up!
Great food and wonderful service from Hanadi!
Unbelievable how poor the client experience is just about the worst lounge staff and client service It’s actually worth experiencing it to believe it!
While being inside a lounge at an airport is more relaxing than being in a busy terminal, some lounges are not worth the detour or the money that you have to pay to gain access. I used a paid membership to access this lounge, meaning that I did not get in simply because an airline gave me a free pass. It was not a particularly busy time at the Montreal international airport that evening, but this lounge was overly busy. There were a couple of free seats, but no quiet corners. The food selection was shamefully limited, worse than what you would get at a school cafeteria. The drink selection was laughable, which is the only kind word that I could find to describe it. This lounge is a waste of time and money. Next time, I will find a restaurant or a bar in a quiet corner and, at the very least, order something to my liking.
Wish there was local or Canadian news papers, other than that it was excellent.
Nice staff. Delicious breakfast. For sure a recommendation to go there before you flight
Food good, drink selection good. Can get crowded.
Had a good time before a long flight. Food, drinks, and atmosphere were all great. Joumana was an excellent hostess, provided great food recommendations and amazing service.
Cool, comfy and relaxing. Staff superb great way to wait for a flight
Great food. Nice to be able to wait here for your flight and charge up.
Passable. Simply not large enough to cope with the demand.
Lounge itself was fine, with a good selection of food and beverages. My issue was with the scene that was made while I was bringing my breakfast to my seat. I had already been in the lounge for 10 minutes, and as I carried my plate to my seat, one of the attendants told me that the lounge was for those over the age of 18 and asked my age. I am 22. She did not believe me and insisted on seeing ID. Upon seeing that I was not lying, I was offered no apology. I left quickly after a few bites to eat as I was embarrassed and uncomfortable. I have no problem with a lounge enforcing its rules, but if this needed to be done, it should have been done at check in or in a more courteous manner. Additionally, lounge employees were clicking the smiley face “how was your experience” buttons, in what I assume is an effort to inflate their score.
One of my least favourite lounges worldwide. Too busy and I would never go of I had to pay for it.
Easily the most horrible lounge I've been to and I've travelled all over the world for business. We were treated as second class because we were with our 9 year old and 4 month old (sleeping). Both kids had business class tickets but we all had to go to the "family" area with awful snack foods like pizza and nuggets that had clearly been sitting under the heater for hours and were all wilted. The nicer food is unavailable to "families" and then you get treated like a criminal being accompanied by staff to toilets on the over-18 side. They ask "are you wanting to use the bathroom?" as I stand there holding my baby in front of a person on guard at the cordoned off area (the baby change is also in the adult section!). "No, I'm here to raid your alcohol and steal the nicer food and my baby wants to disturb your other business passengers please". I mean really?! Yes my daughter needs to pee! If you hold a business ticket as a child, the charge is the same as for adults, there should be no forcing of a family section to maintain quiet for adults. If this is such a concern then have a "quiet" section where no mobiles or kids are permitted, but keep the toilets and nice food available to all! And don't say it is because of liqueur license issues. Funnily enough no other lounge has this. I am originally from Montreal and proud of my city, but I was very ashamed of this lounge last week and cannnot believe BA has chosen it as a partner.
We visit this lounge 2 times per year and we feel the food is always the same. Clean and fine service. More comfortable than airport waiting area but certainly not worth 27$US
Very disorganized. Ordered food but did not come within an hour and had to go to gate. On the positive side, the staff were very nice and friendly..
A nice quiet lounge with nice hot food and salads. I didn't see any cheese and crackers which might have been good since I don't usually take the sweet snacks.
Very sad lounge. Employees were were overwhelmed, limited food, no fun food (chip pretzel). Seem to be running out of food. No soup. Salad bar was limited. They brought out slice bread and bagels for dinner. We brought friends and could not convince them to join prioritypass. Maybe we were there on a bad night. Bathroom were clean.
Basic offerings, one large busy room, basic food options.
It's decent, but not amazing. The food is ok
A new kind of bad. Queue to get in, for a room that’s rammed with little or no space to sit. The food makes the food your going to be served on the airplane look appealing. The wi-fi is poor and the overall ambiance is that of something like a motorway service station meets school canteen. The staff are great however and look like they are worked really really hard. But still keep smiling. And they do have alcohol ???? and its free. And let’s face it. Free alcohol makes everything ok.
Mediocre food, basic drinks, very crowded. However...good service. Not worth the $27USD!!!
The lounge area is good, the food not so much. Very basic and no variety.
Very nice layout, although it was busy it was still a relaxing wait for the plane, the quality of the wine is not too good, the food is better
Would be nice to have some cheese platter
Excellent service since we entered till we left. Very pleasant stay, tasty food and savory drinks.
Fabulous butter chicken. A relaxing spot.
Amazing stay between our flights. Joumana was super friendly.
Nice lounge. Two out of five employees actually working. Brunch food was ok. Lunch served late. Nothing special. Other than these issues clean and comfortable
loved it. Food was great.
Basic offering. Nice staff. No showers
Very friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere. Great beer on tap.
Experience was quite great, washrooms were clean for business class. Food was decent and staff were excellent.
Was greeted by Martin and helped out by Angelo, had a terrific time and enjoyed good cocktails. Thanks for all the hospitality guys!
Severely understaffed. Waiting for 1hr+ for food. Don’t get the credit card for this perk, it’s a joke
Not bad, been to better. Food was okay, not the greatest.
Nice layout and design but like everyone said, food is really bad. There's also an attendant who stands at the entrance and selectively asks for ID after you've already checked in. Makes no sense.
Victoria is a 5 star lady to make you feel comfortable and enjoy your dining experience at the National bank lounge. Thank you for a delightful treat.
This is worst lounge I have ever been. The food was old and crusty, the floor was littered with food and the staff had glossy eyed looked when asked why the lounge looked terrible. Turkish Airline assign there business class customers to this lounge. I will complain that they change there lounge to a different one.
Amazing place. The view is gorgeous, it's super comfortable, and the food/drinks are amazing. But I think what made it feel most luxurious was the amazing staff who are so kind, sweet, and lovely. I forgot my phone rushing to grab my flight and they made sure I didn't leave without it! I spoke to Alfredo and Victorina and they were so great. Definitely recommend!
Good food and drinks ...nice place to relax
Very welcoming staff (Martin), modern design, excellent choice of food with VIP hostess/agent (Victoria) focussed on customer experience. Taste great too. Bravo!
Usually quiet, but I wish they had a larger and better quality selection of food and drinks
Peaceful to relax before you leave and delicious food and drinks
Excellent service, the man that was in the entrance is very kind and the food was very good, also the drinks! Thank you.
Really friendly staff, comfy accommodations to lounge while waiting for our flight, all you can drink and eat. Clean and quiet
Crowded. Noisy. Hard to find a seat, no drinks without a meal. Staff seem nice.
Clean atmosphere. Hot food selection is not the best but you get the drinks at the bar included with your admission.
Very crowded, OK once in but very high throughput
Very well maintained, just can get super busy sometimes but even then, you'll always be comfortable around here - definitely my preferred lounge in the Montreal airport. Only room for improvement would be to add more variety to the food or snacks.
Nice quiet place when I was there and the bathroom was individual stalls.
Worst lounge ever been to. Food very poor , buffet always empty during my hour and a half stay....
A little less variety than the last time, but very comfortable and enjoyable.
Joumanna was amazing. Welcoming, respectful and her service is quick! A++ for Joumanna!!! Give her a raise!!!
Was surprised to see a child playing area in the lounge. Food was decent and it was not busy around dinner time but I can see it getting very busy as this is only lounge with priority pass.
As a 5-Star Lufthansa HON, I definitely know about the most luxurious - in a professional sense - lounges around the globe. This one belongs to my categorization without any doubt. Although other lounges may offer more beauty in space, furniture, and decorations, National Bank Lounge at YUL excels in the professionalism and utmost friendliness of their staff administrating the reception and directing the services provided.
Great lounge. Nice food and drink. Nice clean and comfortable chairs, but always a little busy in there.
You could not find better host than Martin at National bank lounge at Montreal airport. Thanks martin!
Great experience, staff very helpful and very friendly.
Good place to relax before your flight. It is a selfservice place ! In my opinion, VIP should get service.
. . .a special thank you to Victoria from Barcelona whose excellent service was exceeded only by her wonderful personality! I told her that it has been some time since I've heard such a level of friendliness shown to all guests! ????????????
Loved the warm welcome at the lounge by Martin. He was kind and gentle addressing the clients needs.
Food was lack luster, was a nice place to relax between flights but that's about it
The lounge is relatively spacious, never felt congested. Worth nothing that the food choice is very limited and for those who drink, alcohol as well is limited. All in all it's well positioned for internal flight bit not accessible for domestic and USA
I loved the attendees they were supper nice and did a great work specially the guy at the entrance his so nice and kind
Bad food, alcohol choice too limited. Finally, really not convenient if you come with kids (dedicated alcohol-free zone).
Its ok for a lounge before travelling.. especially if u going to south america as there is no lounge for flights to US
a comfortable place to wait for a flight. food is ok, folks are usually friendly.
The service from Victoria was excellent!
Very nice quite atmosphere. Food was excellent & alcohol as well. Wow thanks BNC!
Better to spend a couple of bucks and wait for your flight connection in a lounge then waiting in general airport areas.
Great space. Great washrooms. Very clean
Good place to relax before flights
My daughter and I are on transit from Halifax, Nova Scotia on our way to Doha, Qatar. It's a very long journey, and I would like to sincerely thank Angelo, Victoria, and Martin for providing exceptional and welcoming service to my daughter Renee and I. Covid-19 has transformed the travel industry to a point t where travel is no longer comfortable, but Angelo, Martin and Victoria went over and above to make this a very comfortable trip. A sincere thank you from Fadey and Renee AbiDaoud.
Martin at the lounge in Montreal went above and beyond to make my family feel welcome when they came in. His effort went the extra mile. Bravo Martin!
Had a horrible experience at this lounge. It was the worst lounge we have been to yet. It definitely doesn’t meet any standards a lounge is suppose to have. It was dirty, over crowded and didn’t have any food selection. We had our kids with us, and they have a family section they packed us into. For comfort and relaxation you’re best bet is to stay away from this lounge.
The lounge is clean with a self-serve food. Staff is friendly and very professional
Well laid out and clean and modern. Could be more food choices.
Good place to relax while waiting to move on
Pleasantly surprised. Eggs , bacon, juices, soda and alcohol. Was very tasty . Lounge and washrooms were clean. Staff was very polite and smiling. Good way to start a trip! :)
If you are being called you wont hear it from there and might miss your plane . Air canada lounge dont have this problem
comfortable. we were there in the morning and they had breaksfast. washrooms are very clean.
Great place to rest. Clean, complimentary hot and cold food and drinks of all kind. The crew is very friendly. I was helped by Martin, who is amazing!
Food is always the same. Everything is dirty. Meaning cups glasses plates... you must wipe everything clean. The staff is very nice, but unfortunately this lounge is cheaply run.
Very nice lounge with excellent service. Martin was very nice and helpful.
Good place, nice service. The food is ok.
Drunks n loud not worth to pay your money if you have too...
Used to be great... now food is similar to a poor school cafeteria. Good for a coffee or a drink, that's all.
2 out of the 4 men's bathrooms were out of order. Not enough seats. Overcrowded on a Wednesday weekday morning. Insane!
Overcrowded and loud, dirty washrooms. Staff is nice and food is OK
Really poor lounge with very limited option for food and drinks. It us the first lounge where it may actually be better to wait at your gate.
It was clean and very organized. We had a great service from Martin.
I know its the pandemic and everyone works hard, but. When you are open until 10 pm. Stay open until 10 pm. At 21:40 a women was refused entry. Hey 20 mins its late and she has a late flight. 21;45 all drinks removed by staff and were clearing the place so they could go home at 22:00 or early. Asking us to finsh drinks so the glasses could be collected. Reason the person washing them was tired and had a long day. Same excuse when I was served a drink, log day she was tired. Hey we all travelling and taking the red eye. We are all tired. Lack of professionalism, more concerned about going home than catering to clients.
Great environment though the food seems the same every time I go.
Wonderful reception, excellent service. Can't wait for my next trip. Thank you Aries.
no so fancy for an airport lounge. And only one available through this bank BMO and others are available at many other airports
Much better than waiting by the gate but the food selection is below average for a lounge. Decent drink selection and good coffee. Can't understand why they have a family zone. They serve the same food and alcoholic drinks. Just more crowded. Still need to go through the adult only zone to reach the toilets... Really really weird setup. Nice views.
Absolutely no gluten free options... a lot of money spent on a ticket and there was nothing i could eat. Ended up just leacong as it was of no benifit to me at all.
Sylvia, Laurence and Victoria were absolutely wonderful, kind and helpful! I didn’t see the bartender’s name but she so nice. Thank you for making a frustrating situation (the Air Canada lounge being closed) so lovely.
Definitely more upscale than the Maple Leaf lounge and unlike the Maple Leaf lounge it did not close at 8:30! AC could learn a bit from them. Good selection of hot food. Only negative is that they do not have diet coke. A very good experience.
Good space. Fairly quite. Wasn't too crowded at the time. Good layout. Limited food options. Toilets not that shiny spot-less clean compared to other lounges I have been to...but clean.
Victoria provided an excelente service!
Good food/ Bartender ready to pour/ Nice layout with comfi seats/ Huge bay windows
The food is great! They had rattatouie and it was excellent! Plenty of room to relax beforethe flight.
Love the service. Quick and friendly. The food was excellent. I was able to get a simple salad that was not on the menu. Keep up the great work and thank You.
Food choice was rubbish, as was the choice of drinks.. The old lounge was MUCH better. Staff were all nice and friendly though...
Martin was exceptional!! Brilliant service from all throughout! Looking forward to visiting again very soon.
Food and drinks are of mediocre quality.
Very disappointed. My husband and I were very early for our flights and thought we'd treat ourselves to this a lounge experience. I have Priority Pass (paid for a year membership which gives me access at a price per visit which went up the day I signed on) So it was actually kind of costly. The lounge is decorated well with lots of big chairs and power to charge up. It was busy and bright, not very restful. There was dust and dirt everywhere. It took a long time for the dirty dishes to be removed. The bathrooms were really dirty - though they were nice bathrooms to be sure. BUT the worse was the food. Having now be in about 6 lounges this was by far the most disappointing. The food was minimal and tasted like a school cafeteria. I'm vegetarian, so maybe the chicken was good???but the tomato basmati rice was stuck together, overcooked and tasteless. The boiled corn and peas - boring and tasteless too. The bar would have been ok, but they kept running out of bottles and not replacing them in a timely manner, so there was little choice. They put stopper on the bottle that was so irritating it took 5 min to pour 1 ounce of liquor. The coffee machine as very nice. Wish we has sat in one of the nicer restaurants and had some good food and drinks with service for the same price. :(
Very bad experience, in the branch they made my wife change the master card to a new one last year and they changed the rules again. We had to do a huge line to get told sorry you can't go in unless you pay, we have changed rule since couple of months and you have to get another new card in order to be eligible to go in. Was so disappointed for my wife but this will give her the chance to see what competitors have to offer.
The choice of food and drinks were better in this lounge's previous location.
Nice clean good food always ejoy my time spenthere
I was inspecting a little more, service a bit slow, from the front desk to the service inside, anything you wanna eat, you have to ask for, lack of choice, only one type of desert, no bottle of water, juice...
Angelo provided great service. We had an excellent experience!
Worth the annual fee for the MasterCard WorldElite !!! Its realxing, full service !!! Just the perfect setup to begin a trip!!!
I like the separatations of travelers with children from the rest. Made it quite and no little ones running around.
Well furnished. Good relaxing place.
Horrible...complete waste of time, money and resources. This spot is a scam run by so called prestige credit cards company who overcharge for a service they do not want to provide. I am cancelling my membership . Pass the word around and don't visit the shameful classless lounge
Very comfortable - maybe re-arrange seating regarding children space when the place is full.
Very small space for families. We waited 45mins in the lobby with at least 25 mores peoples with there kids. the food is disgusting, not worth the wait.
Good place to wait for takeoff. Need a seco d Coffee machine
We were denied in this lounge coz our status as STANDBY.. and they were very rude when they talked to us. in their sign it didnt say No standby boarding pass, also in Priority pass condition it wasnt specify. i think this is discrimination Other lounges we were able to use even thou we're standby.
Great location. Extremely nice and caring staff. Fresh refreshments. Thanks to all.
Terrible food and silly alcohol policy. Must have food while consuming alcohol
Self-serve free food, beer, wine, liquor, soft drinks, and juice. Free wifi. Big, comfy lounge chairs with outlets! Clean bathrooms. All staff speaks French and English. Nice place to spend your long layovers!
Great service with a smile from Victoria and made us very happy. A1 service
Lounge is clean and comfortable. Nothing exceptional, but great pre flight relax.
Overcrowded, took a few mins to get in due to the queue. Food was one hot meal only, snacks exceptionally limited, drinks also, one desert choice, very poor salad offering. Wifi was ok. Probably one of the worst lounges I've been to. Don't think I'll bother next time at this terminal. Will stick to Pret a Manger or similar
Victoria was very attentive and kind!
Victoria was the best and she made us feel so welcome. We were amazed by her. She was so welcoming. We loved her.
Crowded small lounge with poor selection of food!
Good place to spend an hour or so, continuous stream of passengers, though there is enough seating
The service was exceptional! Victoria and Angela were friendly, warm and inviting.
As we all had, when travelling after these many months of pandemic lockdowns, is easy to loose it on smaller matters, and I am not exemption! But then you meet people like MARTIN at the Banque Nationale Lounge at the Montreal Airport, and his kindness and understanding brings you back to normal. I hope we all learn more from each other, but certainly we all need to learn more from MARTIN. Thanks and be safe please!! Rolando
Cool! Unlimited hot foods, desserts and wines!! Very pleasant stay to wait for my flight. Love it!!
Nice quiet spot to relax before jumping on a flight.
If was our first Time at the new mc banque nationale location on april 1 and we were very disapointed. If was lacking staff with the result that the place was filled with dirty dishes and dirty tables. Food plates were empty with no choices, no fruits, no staff to change empty bottes of wine and beer dispenser ouf of order. The manager was overwhelmed. We just left.
Very very busy lounge on a Sunday afternoon. The food is comparable to Air Canada lounge and the drinks are served by a bartender. Not a lot of desk space for work and the staff could not keep up with cleaning the plates and glasses off the tables.
Unlimited self service for food, wine, beers and spirits!!
Clean bathrooms and lounge area. This was a good place to start the party as our flight was delayed. The self-service bar has enough selection to keep most folks at bay.
I was there last night. The food was terrible. I got sick in the plane. Made my flight a horrible experience.
We spent 2 hours in the lounge this evening waiting to board our flight to Paris. The entire experience was a true pleasure right from the moment we entered the space. All the staff were extremely friendly and chaleureux!!! Noteworthy were Martin from reception and Victoria who was responsible for the table service. Loved the table service, and the menu offer was very impressive. The only speed bump during the experience was the washroom cleanliness. Sadly customers today are not very thoughtful of following travellers using the facilities and the washrooms definitely needed extra attention. There were two cubicles I refused to use as they were too dirty. Meanwhile, the amazing staff made up for this opportunity. My husband works for HSBC and we were both proud of the experience HSBC offered.
I never thought about heading to the airport early... only this time I decided because I've had the right to access for a while. Wow! If I only.knew the service offered I would of arrived early to all my flights! Will go again 10/10
The lounge is beautiful and the staff is very friendly and makes you feel welcome! Now that they do the food service, it can be a little bit long, which is totally understandable given the large amount of clients. I have to make a special mention about Martin, the host! Martin’s kindness and professionalism is outstanding. He is so pleasant and really makes each one of my visits special, he is one of the reasons why I keep coming back to the National Bank lounge. Thank you! :)
It is ok nothing special about this lounge. As with any airport lounge it gets crowded during busy hours
Very nice place to while away the time until boarding. There are hot and cold foods, alcohols and snacks, all free of charge. I could get used to this level of comfort. The ladies who take care of travelers are always replenishing things and revoving dirty dishes etc.
Had a fabulous meal while waiting for our flight to Greece …Angelo , Martin and karima were so friendly , professional and personable … a truly wonderful experience … thanks
I have had the PRIVILEGE to be served by Victoria while waiting for my flight to France, and somehow I feel this will be the highlight of my holiday? Rarely have I witnessed such sheer passion, energy and authenticity from anyone in the service industry. She made my night, and there’s no doubt in the world she’ll also do yours. The world needs more Victorias!
Comfortable lounge. Much more pleasant to wait for a flight there then in the waiting area. Food is good and open bar doesn't hurt either.
Food could be better. The old lounge was better and offer more choice.
Excellent service, great atmosphere, good food and drinks.
In the times of covid travel things are not easy, not for the traveller's, not for the hosts. Today I was unlucky with the service , as I was repeatedly seated in immediate proximity of others. I asked to be moved away further from a heavily coughing family and was after some wait seated in front of an eating pair. The argument was that one the plane I will also be among other people, and no matter what I will sit next to others. There is "next" and "immediately next", with the virus transmission it makes a big difference. Probably, for a long wait the lounge is great - one sits in armchairs, can eat and rest. For a few minutes stop over like mine it was far off from good. Cutlery not clean, food like in a hospital cantina, wine quite mediocre. Staff is eager to clean while you are still chewing, with their masks under a nose. Just be patient, I guess. Cheers!
Had such a great time , the food and service was really good , a huge thanks to Victoria for the outstanding service
A bit crammed at peak times and food always the same. Lacks a bit of variety. Hot menu should evolve a bit more regularly.
Had the pleasure to be served by Victoria, Angelo and Martin. If this is any indication on how my trip will be, I’m going to have a glorious time. Thank you for the delicious Caesar salad.
I have recently checked in for my flight after a very long, anticipated vacation. Upon arriving at Banque Nationale lounge, we were immediately greeting with superb service. Immediately after seating us in our seats, our server Victoria made us feel welcome. Victoria was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and made us laugh which was an absolute delight. You have a true customer service ambassador on your hands, and am greaful to have experienced excellence. Bravo!
Martin’s service at check-in was exceptional. He is warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. Everything you could want when arriving to the lounge - not to mention to pleasant wishes upon departure. Thank you for a great start to my travels!
Most disappointing experience this evening 26 December at the National Bank Lounge in YUL. - Long line to register upon entrance with a long wait and no social distancing - Relatively unpleasant staff - Limited selection of food and drinks, for instance no dry white wine or no dry bubbly. Regrettably, this lounge does not meet the basic expectations of a business class lounge.
Not what it used to be. Quality has dropped over the years
Cool and free place to eat and rest before catching a plane. Family place where your kid csn play seperated from adult only section.
Decent not alot offered just the usuall
Nice break before a long flight...peaceful and quiet place to relax before my flight.
I spent the whole day, literally in this lounge. It was comfortable and I was able to get a fair bit of work done. It was worth the money.
Amazing food especially the Caesar salad, in addition to, Angelo who is an awesome server
Excellent service all arround. Special recognition to Joumana for her great explanation and patience while dealing with us.
Very low budget food and old sofas...good service
The service was 5 * from Victoria!!!
Lounge looked nice. Food was alright
Update for World members. Apparently lounge in YUL will be only for International flights.
Nice lounge. Had Champagne/cava. Made a Mimosa. But Alas there was all the makings of a Caesar but no Tomato or Clamato juice available.????
Victoria gave us amazing service! The food was great!
We went here before the.flight the food is not so bad would expect more for the price that they ask and a better service. Since the food is expensive in the airport the pass the test
Clean with comfortable chairs. Fairly good size. Food was OK.
Excellent WiFi. Charging stations at every seat. Surprisingly excellent food.
Nice lounge but they always have the same food and minimal vegetarian options
Great service from Laurence
Victoria ????
Victoria is the best! Creating positive atmosphere and environment you want to be in longer. Bon Voyage!
Very nice and relaxed Thanks Angelo
Overcrowded, second rate drinks, edible food.
Victoria was the best employee ever, courteous and efficient..we love her.
Always great food and comfortable area! Clean and great bathrooms.
Nice lounge with a bad and simple menu and cool runway views and sparkling water on tap!
