Fairmont Hotel Vancouver

Plus: Sunday Brunch

Convenient

Plus: The staff were very helpful. The location was within walking distance or very close to public transport of all the attractions we were interested in ie bc place for Playdome, science world and the imax

Minus: There was limited dining choice and what was available was rather expensive for families although the food was excellent; no vending machines and no lobby newsstand or similar where you could purchase snacks or beverages. There was a drug store fairly close or several food courts nearby as well as many restaurants within walking distance.

Great Service, lobby, and public areas but run dow

Plus: The service was impeccable from check in, to concierge, to bartender and wait staff. The lobby and public areas were beautiful as well. The room was large.

Minus: The room was really run down. The carpet was old, buckling, and had stains all over and the furniture has seen its best days long ago.

What you'd expect from this luxury brand

Plus: Grand. Our 6th floor (away from elevator) room very quiet. Concierge excellent.

Minus: Small bathroom. Toilet-sink-shower w/o space between. Avg sized rooms. Fitness center a bit below avg (equipment amount & range) for hotel size/status. Expensive.

Great Business Stay

Plus: The staff was fantastic. The location is fabulous and close to everything you would want to do in Vancouver City Center. The hotel is a beautiful building. Vancouver is a beautiful city and the Fairmount made it even better. Very little noise for being in the heart of the city.

Minus: Wi-Fi fees are a huge joke, but not exclusive to this hotel. This should not be seen as a bad comment for this hotel. It is just another way hotels are trying to make more money. If you can, try and book your stay with Wi-Fi included and ask for a discount if one is available.

Plus: Staff was excellent. Very friendly and helpful.

Minus: My room was clean, which was most important, but it really needed updating.
