Hotel Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth (Montréal, Canada)

The convenience of the central-to-everything location could not be more ideal. It is walking distance to Old Montreal, Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Museum of Fine Arts. If you're arriving by train, the hotel lobby is just an escalator ride away from Gare Centrale and the underground city. .

Guests enjoy the dining options, especially the grandiose breakfast buffet offered every morning. The selection is amazing and the quality of food is excellent. Le Montréalais Bistrot-Bar has great dinner reviews with a variety of menu items to suit every palate. .

The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. Most guests were delighted to enjoy a quiet stay without noise from outside traffic or neighboring rooms. Exquisite Le Labo toiletries add a luxurious touch to every stay and are a guest favorite. .

Guests are impressed with the history behind the hotel, including the many famous visitors. Unfortunately, Fairmont Queen Elizabeth is a historical location in need of some remodeling. Guests complain that the rooms are a bit run down, especially the bathrooms, which often have cracked sinks. The carpet and hotel decor also appears dated and dirty. .

Many guests report being disappointed in not having a safe in their rooms, despite being promised one during reservation. Not all rooms are equipped with one but safes are available upon request. .

You may run into a long line at check-in. The lobby is often reported to be very crowded. Guests who arrived late were sometimes downgraded to a lower quality room than they had booked. .
