“Good location, down at heel rooms”

Reviewed 24 May 2013 NEW

The Chateau Laurier has a great location, and the public areas of the hotel are splendid. But the rooms are distinctly below the standard of the those public areas! The bathrooms are tatty, and the basin plug in our room was broken. The hotel didn't seem to realise we were staying in the room, in that the telephone hadn't been... More

“Old fashioned”

Chateau Laurier is part of the Fairmont hotels chain. The decor is 20th century so if you like clean modern non-fussy decor, this may not be the place for you. With the decor, is the implication that there is a standard of white glove service, and it does not disappoint. My only recommendation is to skip the High Tea in... More

“A jewel in the heart of Ottawa”

Reviewed 22 May 2013 NEW

I stayed at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier for one night (May 18-19) and loved this hotel in all respects. This massive 'luxury' hotel is situated in the heart of Ottawa, directly on the Rideau Canal, across from the spectacular Canadian Parliament building, and in full view of the Ottawa River. The hotel lobby is very large and beautiful and includes... More

“One night stay for friends' wedding”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

We stayed here for one night in August 2012 as we were attending a wedding downtown and had a fairmont giftcard to use. Nothing beats the location of the Chateau in downtown Ottawa! I will admit that we didn't spend much time in the hotel at all, and as a result, didn't use many of the amenities such as the... More

“Good place to stay in Ottawa”

We have stayed 3 times at Fairmont Château Laurier. Every time was a pleasant and good experience. The service is always very good and attentive. The only slight disappointment this time was our room. Located on the 6th floor we had a nice view of the parliament buildings. The room was a Deluxe King, spacious and the bed divinely comfortable... More

“Great location, horrid rooms!”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW via mobile

It is 2am and am forced to write this review as the paper thin walls between the rooms of this hotel allow me to follow in great detail the loud obnoxious conversations in the room next door! For the second night in a row despite a room change the hollow walls of this seemingly grand hotel have kept me and... More

“Wonderful Old Railway Hotel”

Reviewed 17 May 2013

The Canadian travel experience is not complete without staying in one of the original hotels built by the national railways in the early 20th century. Most major Canadian cities have one and most are now in the Fairmont chain. The Chateau Laurier is one of the grandest. (see pictures) The staff are friendly and attentive. The lobby is welcoming and... More

“Great Location, Historic Hotel”

Reviewed 15 May 2013

Hotel is in an excellent location, close to most of the attractions. The room we had was quite small & there was an upgrade of the hotel taking place at the time which meant with scaffolding etc we didn't have much of a view.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. As a heritage hotel, we do have a few smaller rooms; however, in general, we are fortunate to offer our guests spacious rooms with lovely surroundings. We do make every effort to ensure the quiet enjoyment of our guests, even during renovation projects and we regret your disappointment on this occasion. We do hope... More

I had booked 2 weeks in advance and got a great deal! There was a protest going on infront of their hotel so I had trouble finding the place. I called to get directions and the hotel redirected me to 3 people then was on hold for 10 minutes!? Some staff were incredible friendly some were not so much. (I... More
