Супер отель! Доброжелательные и компетентные сотрудники!
Pros:

Все было превосходно! Парковка, спа, тренажерный зал, где были фрукты, вода полотенца бесплатно.

Cons:

Концепция бронирования столов для завтраков. Искусственно вызванные много километровые и многочасовые очереди на завтрак. Столы пустуют, люди в холле толпой в очереди стоят.

Can’t get any more central than this for Montreal
Pros:

Hotel was recently renovated few years back, stayed after the strikes the labour union had.. as a result it is very posh modern now and less grandeur unlike the older CP Hotels / other fairmont properties in Canada and how it use to look. Much needed refresh that still looks great!

The front desk team were friendly and it is still a very busy front desk and lobby area. The process was fairly quick. The hotel is conveniently located above the VIA rail Transit system and close by to the international airport (22 min drive by taxi).

The common areas are clean, modern and spacious. It took a long wait for an elevator to arrive as the hotel was very busy during the Montreal pride and jazz/ music festivities - as a result, very full occupancy and many guests using the elevators.

The room was a good sized corner room with great views of the city and basilica adjacent to the hotel. Comfort in bedding, plush mattress and crisp white linens. Le labo “Rose” amenities that you expect at every Fairmont - leaves you feeling fresh. Bath robes in bathroom..

The room had dirty torn towels that seemed to be left over accidentally by housekeeping in the far right corner of the window sill.

Overall - the hotel is well appointed, central and a great choice when staying in DWTN Montreal!

Great hotel
Pros:

Excellent property in a fantastic location. We arrived and left via train, the station is underground beneath the hotel, lending welcome convenience to the trip. The area has many restaurants and attractions including the famous basilica across the street.

Rooms are comfortable and well maintained and the staff were wonderful to interact with.
