Chambre défraîchie et vieillotte De la poussière en abondance Un service exécrable, l'hôtel ne permet pas d'accéder aux toilettes après une certaine heure !! Château Laurier ne mérite pas de porter le nom de château ou le nom de Sir Wilfried laurier !! Une très mauvaise expérience. Le Hilton ou le Westin sont tellement supérieurs

Staff were excellent, room was very nice. Would’ve preferred a mini fridge that was empty to use vs stocked with $$$$ liquor n snacks. The restaurants within were very good, but wise to make reservations. Be aware that valet parking is the only option. Did not use pool, so cannot comment. But many lovely sights to see! Friendly Canadians!

Very disappointed with the Ottawa Fairmont! Stayed in a Deluxe King Room, that was super dusty and had an awful dirty socks smell not worth the $514 per night! Not recommended at all! Look somewhere else if you want comfort and clean room! The staff were cold and not helpful!

Valet service was bad. We checked in Friday night and left Sunday morning. No self service for electric car so the Valet service was going to take care of the parking and the charging of the car. Sunday morning, it took 1 hour to get the car, not charged so we couldn't go back to Montreal. I had to stop to fast charged the car so it took another hour and a half. The valet service and the charging of the car was longer than my travelling time. The worst Valet service ever. The manager said he would refund the 2 days of valet parking so let's see if that gets done.

Was not a pleasant stay. Went with my two kids and mother for Mother’s Day and paid for a double room. It was a single room the size of a closet. Wanted to bring the kids swimming, and found out we needed reservations. The pool could only accommodate 10 swimmers at a time, but there were only five in the pool and five fully dressed along the side of the pool. For $460 a night it was AWFUL!

Beautiful property within a walkable distance to restaurants, shops and of course, Parliament Hill. Clean and spacious rooms designed with lots of intricate details. It was lacking in some areas, for example, the room did not have a fridge or microwave which was quite inconvenient, especially since we have kids. Also, they misplaced our luggage which took nearly 30 minutes to get to our room. We also used the valet service, which took another 30 minutes, which we didn't realize. There's a cheaper parking garage right behind the building that we should have used instead of valet had we not been so tired. Anyways, aside from these inconveniences, it was still worth the stay!
