Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth

This hotel is located above the Via Canada train station. If you arrive on a day or evening when the weather is not pleasant, no problem. You can take a lift to the hotel from the train station. My room, a bit small, quite comfortable, a buffet breakfast was available. Many choices to select from. My second stay at this hotel.

We stayed at Fairmont Queen Elizabeth in Montreal for the Paul McCartney concert. The site of John & Yoko's Bed In seemed like the place to stay to us. We traveled to Montreal by train, so location could not be beat! We could get to the Bell Centre inside, or down a couple of streets quickly and easily. We were able to check in to our room on arrival. Tristan at the front desk was so welcoming and helpful it got our experience off to the best start. We then realized all staff was amazing and professional, yet friendly and welcoming and always helpful. Our room seemed recently renovated and was perfect and spotless. Our bed was one of the most comfortable I have slept in. Furnishings and decor was lovely. We found our room very quiet, but we were far from elevators. We didnt hear any doors closing or any guests in the hall. Everything in the room worked as it should. We ordered room service breakfast and it exceeded our expectations. It was all delicious! We enjoyed the pool. It is small, but it wasn't crowded when we went, so we were able to swim. Everything was awesome and we will stay again! Great location any time of year with access to stores and restaurants underground no boots and jackets required.

My wife and I just enjoyed five terrific days at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth on Boul. Rene-Levesque. We stayed in one of the suites that had access to the 21st Floor daily breakfast, and the stay was well worth it! the food and the staff every morning were great, even helping me assemble breakfast trays to take to my wife, flowers included, made me look like a hero! Roselys' was great for lunch, dinner and cocktails, including waiter Dominic and bartender Michel St. Martin, who created the drink on the menu "Montrealer". Housekeeping was amazing every day, as was all the staff. Nice workout gym, but we were too busy to take advantage of the pool. Very enjoyable time, helped make my wife's first trip to Montreal incredible! Paul Cardinal

In a week we stayed at 4 Fairmonts in Canada. As Gold members we are regulars. Sadly their Montreal hotel did not live up to expecations. We are regular travellers and like to use the mini bars to chill our water bottles overnight. Here they operate small fridges chock full with cans and bottles. We asked if we could remove some for our bottles, but were told no, anything removed is charged for. No exceptions. We checked with both the conceiege lounge and at reception. Same answer. quite annoying as was the staffs arrogance and indifference. Then the breakfast server was the worst of our trip, lousy service, even spilling coffee. He did not warrant a tip. Alas the hotel charged us for one anyway. To cap it all off i booked a bellboy to assist with luggage who simply didnt turn up. With a flight to catch we had to lug it all down to the basement, where at least the valets had the car waiting. A blight on the Fairmont brand.

Nothing terribly wrong with this hotel but nothing terribly noteworthy. It’s a large, convention-like place which is fine for conferences and business people but has no soul. Would never spend a couple’s trip there. Rooms are well designed and appointed but small. Modern and clean but my room was probably only 250 sf. But it worked. There is a good convenience store and takeout place in the lobby and it’s conveniently located above the main train station. My valet parking experience was not great. I pulled up to the front around 8 pm and there was no valet or bellman. I had to register at the front desk inside and tell them my car was on the curb. Calling in for my car when I needed it was sometimes a bit slow. So, average experience and would discourage non-business use.
