Great hotel. Some small issues.

The hotel was very beautiful and comfortable. The staff was great and helpful and the room very nice. A few detractors to our experience however. We were interrupted shortly after checking as housekeeping hadn’t checked the minibar after the previous guest. We paid for the parliament view. But there was only one window in the room and it was small. You had to be in the window and crane your neck to see parliament. There was also a delay in the valet service while checking out as a result of a city wide bike race that shut down the street in front of the hotel. It wasn’t the hotels fault but the staff could have been more communicative of the delays. Overall a very good experience.

Fairmont but fairly worn

We stayed May 2-4, 2025 in the double deluxe room. While it is an impressive property as per Fairmont usual the room was getting tired - separation in the carpet, bathroom in need of a Reno and bubbling/peeling Paint. Beds were comfy. Service was good but not exceptional and very little effort to “hospitality” given - no special touches or above and beyond’s despite explaining this was a special trip. Would recommend for the location but not if you’re looking for something higher end or “special”.

We were at the room 434 and the room was extremely noisy. The neighbour beside us on our left side all night they were talking and we could have heard them as if they were in our room. It was very inconvenient. We couldn’t sleep and as a result, we left and we shorten our visit in Ottawa. We had a headache and very sick And the room was terrible.

The best choice

Stayed here for a baby-moon and from the second we stepped out of the car until our stay was done the service was exceptional. It wasn’t forced or over the top, nor was it irritating as you may get in some places where service comes across as fake. It was perfect. We used the pool, the gold floor lounge (highly recommend booking this level), and the bar on the main level. A step above any other Ottawa hotel.
