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.

I stayed here on business for 3 nights in December 2007. The hotel is in an excellent location, connected to an extensive underground mall and close to transportation (train, subway, lots of taxis). The main shopping streets are also very close by. So are a number of good restaurants. The dining in the hotel is ridiculously expensive, so I'd skip eating there and just go outside.
I had one of the recently renovated rooms, so was quite satisfied with the accommodation. But for the price, it certainly wasn't exceptional.

Overall - Overpriced food and accommodation, but well located and clean and quiet.

Well...My kid's love staying at a Fairmont Hôtel ...
Château Frontenac....
We decided to try the one in Montréal...QE...

I guest the employes don't have the same contract
because...It certainely didn't feel the same...

The room was nice..except the bathroom floor did
need some dusting...

Certainely the Château Frontenac has a better Valet
and Concierge service by far...

We were arriving by train, and the location is just phenomenal! It was in winter, and its easy access to the underground meant that we could walk everywhere in comfort.

Our room was mid-sized, spacius enough for two, and quite nicely decorated. Great view too! The hotel lobby was quite spectacular. We would definitely recommend this if you're visiting Montreal.
