“Weekend at the Queen Elizabeth”

Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth

4 of 5 stars
Powfoot, United Kingdom
Apr 14, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

We had high hopes of this hotel. having just stayed in the Fairmont in Mont Tremblant. It is a very nice hotel and there are many positives about it, but it is not perfect. The rooms are fairly small and the bathrooms tiny, but very nicely done and probably as expected for a city hotel. The driver who brought us from Mont Tremblant told us that this was the best hotel in the city for service, but we found one or two aspects a little disappointing. First of all, there was a lovely selection of Fairmont teas in the room but no kettle. We had to ask twice before a kettle was produced and it seemed to take forever. When the staff member brought it, we had realised that our heating was not working, but she tried to fob us off and we had to be very firm until she agreed to look into it! (The room was cold and it was snowing heavily outside.) It appeared that the computer control had been switched off, so there was no problem once that was sorted out. Despite the fact that there were three of us in the room, we only got 2 cups and had to ask for a third, then the maid took it away on our second day so we had to ask again! A minor issue, but irritating. Surely they know who is staying in a room?
The public areas in the hotel are beautiful and the staff on reception very helpful. On Sunday when the business centre was closed, the receptionist checked us in for our flight and printed our boarding passes, saving us lots of time.
The food in the bar was excellent and the staff really helpful and friendly.
The hotel is really well situated and sits on top of the railway station and an excellent shopping mall with a really good food court. We got an excellent breakfast in the station for $20 for three people.
The old port is about 20 minutes walk from the hotel and the main shopping street 5 minutes away.
The main downside was that it is a very large hotel and tended to be noisy. There was always a door slamming somewhere along the corridor and the lifts were always crowded.
Overall a really enjoyable stay in Montreal.

“Not what I expected...”

Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth

Feb 24, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

Stayed over for one night - business trip. I stayed on the 20th floor. It was not what I expected. One out of four lamps worked because of burnt out light bulbs. Office space was too small. The desk was tiny and positioned in an odd way that did not allow you to watch TV (even thou the TV was pulled out and slightly rotated). The decor in the room was old and stale. The marble bathroom felt like it was designed for a tiny person. The sink was small with hardly any counter top space. I was truly expecting more out of this hotel since it holds the "Fairmont" name. I was quite disappointed.

The good thing about this hotel was the location.

“Gold Service - Nice but the rooms are very small”

Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth

Feb 18, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

My wife and I booked into the Fairmont Gold section of the hotel on the 19th Floor. The room cost around 350$ for one night. The service was very good however, the room was ridiculously small with a bathroom that was tucked away like it was a closet. The room was a suite and was meant to be one of the bigger rooms. I have stayed in larger rooms in a travel lodge.

The four poster bed was nice, however the television was placed in such a location that from one side of the bed you couldn't watch it as the bed post was in the way.

A maid walked into the room when we were in there, didn't even knock.

I was glad to leave the hotel to be honest and wouldn't stay there again.

“Very good experience at Queen Liz”

Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth

4 of 5 stars
Calgary, Canada
Feb 10, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

I was here for two nights before returning home to Calgary. I got a suite upgrade and the stay was fabulous. The hotel is walking distance to good shopping and food. It was also close to the Latin Quarters and Chinatown.

The suite had 1 full bathroom inside the bedroom and 1/2 bathroom in the living room area. Miller Harris toiletries as per usual Fairmont Standards. The gym facility was spacious and clean. I noticed that the hotel staff found it unusual for me to request afternoon tea sent to my hotel suite as it is quite customary in the other Fairmonts in western Canada.

Hotel staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly =)

“Great Location”

Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth

Jan 29, 2008

We stayed at the Fairmont hotel for 3 nights and found that it was in a great location. We went in summer, so walking everywhere was no problem. Its only a 2 minute walk to Saint catherine st and about a 15 min walk to the old town. The staff were friendly and helped get us around. We never ordered room service because there were plenty of places to eat around town. Breakfast was great. Would recommend staying there if you want to be central to everything.
