What guests say about Fairmont Le Reine Elizabeth

A hotel very well located in downtown Montreal, often appreciated for direct access to the train station, the metro, and the underground network. Many guests highlight the attentive staff, clean rooms, and amenities such as the pool, gym, and certain lounges or restaurants. However, some stays were disappointing because of aging or small rooms, poor soundproofing, and delays or service errors at the front desk, housekeeping, or valet. The style is often considered elegant, but the value for money seems uneven depending on the experience.

Worst Fairmont I’ve been in My room shower was broken and didn’t get fixed until day 2 Each elevator ride takes 10 minutes to go up and down The front desk gave me wrong info about breakfast timing so I ended up having to wait 45 minutes for the kitchen to set up brunch service before I could it Bad experience overall

My experience at Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth in Montreal was truly exceptional from start to finish. I stayed at the hotel for more than a month during a long business trip, and it genuinely felt more like a home than a hotel. This was actually my second extended stay at the property. I previously stayed for 2 weeks and received outstanding service, which is why I chose to book the hotel again for my next trip. Every single department consistently delivered top-class hospitality and professionalism. The front desk staff were always welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The housekeeping team maintained my room at an impeccable standard of cleanliness throughout my entire stay. The valet parking staff treated me like family and always made me feel valued and comfortable. A special mention also goes to the in-room dining and restaurant teams. They consistently accommodated my requests, provided excellent recommendations, and delivered exceptional service every time. The quality of the food was absolutely top class, and every meal I ordered was fresh, delicious, and professionally presented. The overall atmosphere and vibe of the hotel is simply incredible. The moment you walk into the building, you immediately feel luxury, comfort, and warmth. The ambiance truly hits differently and makes the entire experience unforgettable. Every dollar spent here is completely worth it. The level of care, professionalism, hospitality, cleanliness, and overall guest experience is second to none. I highly recommend Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth to anyone visiting Montreal, whether for business or leisure. I look forward to staying here again in the future.

Very disappointing,1st night elevator broke down, receptionist said its happens oftem better not get room on higher floor. Housekeeping never replace the bottle of shampoo, shower gel and conditioner bottles, they just refill it (unhygienic) . Tv remotes are not cleaned. I stayed 4 days, 3 days no single housekeeping came to my room for clean up . I specifically had to alert housekeeping. If traveling solo Receptionist will charge you deposit for per night even though you prepaid in advance, but if you are couple no deposit of a single penny. At the time of checkout when you want your deposit back, staff says deposit is from third party without confirming in the system. Very horrible experience.

Perfect location. We were traveling by train so this was very convenient. Love the decor. It has a modern 70s theme with gold and blues. Nice more patterns and lines. The chairs and the furniture are all new but match the aesthetic. Bedrooms were very comfortable. Nice beds and comfortable bedding. Lots of space with chairs and a desk. Bright and modern bathroom with nice toiletries. I love that they provide cotton swabs with the toiletries. Great view from our room of the cathedral. Walking distance to everything but great coffee sho, cocktail lounge in the hotel as well as shops in the tunnels for the train. Friendly staff. Loved this location.

Excellent service from every single staff member we interacted with. Hotel is spacious and quick to get in and out of in a very convenient location. Rooms are nice and the bed is comfortable. We brought our dog and one staff member even brought him freshly baked dog cookies! If booking with Amex Hotel Collection you get a very generous breakfast allowance for their full breakfast and your credit is in USD.

Lobby is magnificent and the location is well located. We asked for amenities to service royal but unfortunately had to call 3 times for the same basic request. Employee on the phone told us they have a new system since few months and sometimes request doesn’t go to the staff due to device issue. We got apologies from the gentlemen who brought our toothbrush and mouthwash after more 30 minutes waiting. We feel that attention to details and service wasn’t taking seriously for a supposed luxury hotel. Guest request shouldn’t impact at this level when a new system is implemented.

Positive: - WLAN was working well. - They put a fridge in the room after asking for it. Negatives: - I had a room with 2 rooms. Heating was not working in the first one (but at least in the sleeping room). The next day, I asked if they could fix it. They said they will try and come back to me if it does not work. They never came back to me, and it continued not to work till the end of my stay. - Lightning in the room is suboptimal. If you have a suite, you would hope that you have adequate lighting at the desk. Funny thing, there is a very good ceiling light at the entrance. - I asked for a late checkout (2 hours) very early on the day of departure (and the day before, but they told me to ask on the next day). After the service desk asked the supervisor, I was told it wasn't possible because too many people were coming in. I checked online and I was able to book 3 rooms of the same(!) category and all sorts of other rooms. I also asked what they could offer, but they couldn't offer 30 minutes.

The.staff here was wonderful and very attentive to our needs.

Have stayed at this beautiful Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel on a few occasions on business and personally with my wife. It is a beautiful landmark hotel in the heart of Montreal and both accessible by subway and Via Rail which I have used both to access this hotel. The hotel is royal and majestic being named after the Royal Queen herself. Everything is 5star service, dining and hospitality from arrival to departure. This hotel is truly a local icon and a stay that is unforgettable!

Unfortunately, they’ve done away with one of this hotel’s greatest highlights: the breakfast buffet! I don’t understand this decision by the Accor Group. They had a fantastic breakfast buffet—why get rid of it?!

Stayed here for a couple of nights during my trip to Montreal and honestly loved the experience. The hotel is right in the heart of downtown, which made it super convenient to explore the city. The room was spacious, very clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable after a long day of walking around. Staff were friendly and professional. I would definitely stay here again.
