Nice if you can afford it

I stayed here for a conference. The hotel is definitely upscale, you notice that as soon as you stand in front of it, or when you see the bill. Staff was very respectful and helpful, and if you count English as a foreign language, then they were all extremely proficient. The hotel is in the heart of Montreal, a short walk to bars, restaurant, shops and incidentally the Jazz Festival, too, on St Catherine St. Room and bathroom were surprisingly small, and the TV was surprisingly small and old, but the beds were comfy, the TV worked, and the bathroom ... was clean and functional. read more

The hotel has primarily a good location to explore Montreal. There is the possibility of walking to the nearby old town or take a stroll to the metro, which directly with the hotel (a shopping center) is connected. read more

This hotel is centrally located in downtown Montreal. From the airport in about 15 -20 minutes away by car or bus. valet parking at the hotel 28 CAD. Direct access from the hotel (elevator/escalator) to "Basse" and Centralstadion. Numerous restaurants and shopping possibilities available. It is a good value for breakfast. Nearest underground metro stop is about 10 minutes walk. The rooms are not very large, but sufficient. There is a separate smoking floor. Internet access via wireless in the room for 15.5 CAD/day. Our bathroom was small and somewhat worn in contrast to the rest of the room. ... The air conditioner was adjustable. There are restaurant and bistro. read more

As part of an international conference we have seen at university level Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth than hotel elected and through the bank disappointed. This hotel deserves 5 stars in any way, is dirty, noisy and complete rip-off. There are really very good hotels in Montreal downtown, the Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth is definitely not one of them! read more

Tired, but in a good location archived

Grande Dame hotel in the middle of the city just right in between the shopping and the entertainment district. Unfortunately much gone lost demand of renovation - very good. Ambience in the typical US-hotel brown/beige. Room rather spartan and class not appropriate. Bathroom clean, but small and not inviting. No in-room safe. (But super-hair dryer. ) Pool (at least 10 * 5m) together with the fitness center in the basement (well equiped). Dingy locker rooms with closet space. Pool environment unpleasant dirty and the underground, fairly subdued atmosphere is crummy. Only a handful of plastic chairs to relax. At least ... a very warm jacuzzi for about 6 people. Parking in the garage under either or next door in the railway car (cheaper, about 20 C$ / day); both dark and with narrow routes. In sum: for about 108 EUR per night, per room given the location OK, but a bit of luxury, you will be able to find another hotel. Due to be in accordance with brochure "modern" is me incongrous. read more

The hotel is very centrally located. Many attractions and the shopping streets are within easy walking distance. Directly from the hotel gives you access to the underground city, so that one could not before the door is in winter. The outside of the hotel is not really a beautiful sight. Inside was very much value on attractive design, high-quality materials and plenty of space. The hotel features the over 1000 rooms over several event rooms and is often booked for conferences and congresses. read more

    The rooms have a city hotel normal size and are very well appointed. Air conditioning, satellite television, coffee maker, clock radio, hair dryer, wireless Internet access, bathrobes and minibars are standard. The rooms are very clean, and the decor but partly already a bit old.

  • Gastronomy
    5.0

    The hotel has two restaurants and a bar. The gourmet restaurant "Beaver Club" is known far above the city limits, but there were only three days (Th-sa) open. The main restaurant "Le Montrealais" is open daily and offers breakfast (weekend brunch), lunch and dinner. For a 3 -course menu at night you pay between 30 and 40 dollars. The choice is large and the quality was very good.

    As to effectively all Fairmont hotels the service is excellent. From the friendly and quick check-in, to luggage service, the concierge, the cleaning staff to bartender and servers met very helpful people. Also on special wishes B. Flowers on the rooms) we reacted quickly and effectively.

    The hotel is very centrally located. Many attractions and the shopping streets are within easy walking distance. Directly from the hotel gives you access to the underground city. offers excellent access with a total of over 30 kilometers length spans about 12 square. Here you have everything you need, whether you will find restaurants, boutiques, workmen or grocery shops. Especially in the winter it is very helpful, since the temperatures well below zero down and snow time piles. Central station from Montreal right under the hotel. stops directly outside the hotel a shuttle bus from the airport (7 CAD per person).

The hotel looks very ugly from the outside and you'll think this gray box but hopefully it won't be the Fairmont is. From the inside is very nice, right next door is the cathedral. The parking costs CAD$25 as well as the breakfast, although a very rich. The lifts in the hotel are a special experience, at least two are basically dark and don't go. The Vieux Port is only a short walk away, with a taxi it's much more comfortable but read more

The hotel is very centrally located in the downtown Montreal right next to the cathedral. Both the main shopping street rue Ste. Catherine and the old town are very convenient for walking distance. The hotel also offers a direct access to the "Ville Souterraine", the underground maze of shopping malls and restaurants - this especially when the weather is extremely convenient. The place is friendly-furnishings dignified and seemed clean and well maintained. This goes for the public areas as well as for the rooms. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. read more
