Disappointing.
Bobs-big-vacation (Caerphilly, United Kingdom) on Mar 08, 2026
As repeat guests of the brand across four other Canadian cities, and having stayed at the Fairmont Reine Elizabeth twice in the past two years, it feels slightly uncomfortable to leave a critical review. To start with the positives, the staff throughout the hotel were excellent. Front desk, concierge, housekeeping, doormen, and the teams at Roselys and Marché Artisans were welcoming, professional, and clearly hardworking. The hotel is also extremely well located, making it easy to explore the city on foot or via public transport. Unfortunately, the room itself fell well below the standard suggested by the rest of the property. While clean and offering a pleasant city view, the room felt tired and overdue for refurbishment. Furniture was worn and dated, and paintwork and plaster around the window reveals were peeling or damaged. The shower was a good size, but the combined toilet and basin area was cramped, and the toilet fixture moved during normal use. The adjoining (locked) door to the neighbouring room also allowed significant noise transfer, meaning we were listening to energetic neighbours late at night and again early in the morning. Taken together, the room felt noticeably out of step with the quality of the hotel’s public spaces and service. For the rate charged, the accommodation simply did not represent the level of comfort or value we have experienced at other Fairmont properties or Le Reine previously. A disappointing stay in what is otherwise an impressive hotel. Given the strength of the staff and the location, it is surprising that some rooms appear to fall so far behind the otherwise high standards of the property.
A winter break in Montreal

We came on a winter break to Montreal and Quebec. This hotel was perfectly located for a first time, short stay visitor. 5 minutes walk past the winter ice rink to downtown and the time out market for food and drink, and shopping, if you are that way inclined. As it was winter, we took the hotel lift to the railway station and the underground maze of the subway system to walk to Notre Dame and the Old Port. We took the train from Montreal to Quebec, so to be able to go down to the train station from the hotel was excellent. We made use of the bar Nacarat at the hotel. A very pleasant bar where the staff were very courteous and attentive. The rooms were very comfortable. We overlooked the church but with the snow, the church , the office lights . We were more than happy.
