Over the past three years, I have stayed at the Fairmont twice while in Montreal on business. The location is superb, within easy walking distance of great shopping, dining and transportation (the hotel sits directly above the train station/underground). Service was excellent and the rooms were fine. My most recent stay was in a small, but functional and clean room;... More

The hotel is lovely, no question. I found it curious that the beds are so high that I felt I should ask for a step stool to get in and out. Higher floors do have beautiful views - and would recommend that. The location is terrific for moving around the city with ease. We stayed there on Easter long weekend... More

I have stayed at the Fairmont a few times in the last 10 years. In May 2012 was definetely the best stay. My room on the 17th floor has been refurbished. It was very quiet and facing the Cathedral (avoid rooms facing René Lévesque if you like your quietness). The bed was very conformtable so were the pillows. The room... More

Even though we just stayed at the Fairmont QE, we had wanted to go to Montreal for years. I have been researching everything in Montreal from hotels, restaurants, activities, etc for some time know and always found my way back to the QE for lodging. Having never been to Montreal before, we wanted a full service hotel centrally located, in... More

Outside of the heat in my room not working, this was a first class stay. The gym is beautiful, and the food is amazing. All of the staff are attentive and very willing to help to get you in the right direction. I'd recommend the location for sure!

Well location is key, this is for sure a positive. The staff are extremely friendly, they are responsive and helpful. The room on the 15th floor was extremely small, bathroom was strictly one person at a time, this is not the Fairmont Kei Lani in Maui.. Bed was ok we went with the foam pillows to try them out.

I typically evaluate hotels on a few categories as follows: location; decor/physical condition; service; and value. These are all evaluated based on my underlying expectations. This is a critical point - you could have a great rating at a motel if everything exceeded expectations. Perhaps I put the Fairmont brand in too high a class. I have stayed at other... More

The Queen E as it's known to the locals, is the Grande Dame of Montreal hotels. Overall, it's decor is a late 20th century hotel, and now showing it's age, but still very elegant. Some rooms (higher floors I think) are newer, but most are vintage 1970's - 1980's. The rooms are medium size, bed is very comfortable, bathroom a... More
