This hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Montreal. The train station is underneath the hotel, where there's an underground pathway with shops and restaurant. On the ground level, you have great shopping and restaurants around you. The hotel is fairly outdated, but its clean and spacious and not mention the free WI-FI service is super fast :) The price is more on the expensive end, however you're paying for the convenience, and if you only have a day or so in Montreal, you won't want to spend it on travelling :)

I booked the room through the fairmont president's club number and got a great corporate rate because of my employer. The room was ready when we arrived at the hotel, about noon. The view was lovely and the room was a standard size and layout. No complaints about cleanliness. The bed was maybe the most comfortable we had ever slept in. We only stayed one night as we were taking the train to New York the next day. The Hotel sits on top of the train station - very convienient. The hotel is well located and connected underground to shopping, dining and the two metro lines. Not a long walk to old Montreal either. Will definitely stay again when in Montreal.

My family and I had to go to Montreal from Toronto. We took the train. The Queen E is situated on top of the train station. We arrived at 10pm and walked off the train, took the elevator to the lobby and from there to our rooms. Painless. Our return trip left at 6:45a. We woke up at 6a, checked out at 6:25a and were on the train by 6:35a.

The hotel is also connected to the underground city. Connections to two subway lines, commuter trains, shopping etc are all available without having to leave the underground.

The Queen E's rooms are somewhat dated but they are clean, quiet and comfortable. We had two connecting rooms. This provided more room than a suite at a far lower cost.

We stayed this past weekend at the Fairmont QE in Montreal with my family. There are many positive aspects about this hotel: great location attached underground to the train station, shops, and restaurants; excellent fitness room, friendly front desk and bell staff. Our in-room dining experiences were fine as well -- the food was quite good. However you should avoid Les Yoyageurs lobby bar/bistro at all costs -- this was the single worst service experience that we ever had. I complained to the hotel and they convinced me to try it again and the 2nd time was closer to what I would've expected in the first place from a Fairmont. Rooms were clean, but the TV channel selection was very limited (no English children's channels). I likely would not return as a family, but would as a business traveler.
