The hotel's historic character is charming; the staff were helpful; and the breakfast buffet at the patio cafe was very good. Our room was a bit quirky: it opened directly onto the dining room, and there was no partition between the shower and the rest of the bathroom.

Excellent, good breakfast and the food menu was varied at a reasonable price. Hotel was convenient for Eden Gardens cricket ground a good 20 min walk away but flat, despite England getting spanked there by 7 wickets it was great experience all the same 😉 The hotel has great history with lots of pictorial items on display, the guests list who have resided there is very interesting. If and when I’m back in Kolkata I’ll definitely stay here again. Great friendly and helpful staff too which is always good ☺️

Great place

Elgin Fairlawn is a beautiful historical landmark 1786. The staff are so friendly professional and polite. We eat at the restaurant every night that we stayed at the hotel. All of the food was very tasty and delicious, exceptionally the Chicken Manchow and Chicken hot and sour soup.

Positives: 1) Brought back nostalgia from he days of the British Raj 2) Excellent service people 3) Great kitchen - amazing food. Very friendly and helpful staff Areas for improvement: 1) Building is old - over a 100 years old and shows its age. So do the fixtures - chandeliers, lights, carpets, staircase 2) Not very easy to find - as it is located in a very congested area. Lots of one of one way streets 3)

6/10 Okay

Liked: Staff & service
A very historic property with old world charm and facilities. Our room had an unusable shower over a deep bath. Many of the ceilings and walls show signs of decay, but it is an 1783 property! The main common facilities (dining room and garden cafe area) are well kept and very atmospheric. The food was excellent and the staff are very lovely. We would stay again, but ensure we were allocated a room with a wlk in shower next time. The Fairlawn is not for everybody, but if you love history and authenticity, you can't go past it for an experience.

The property, specially the washroom, needs some renovation. However, this is overall an excellent heritage hotel.

I was a business traveler and chose the hotel because it was near my destination. 1. The hotel is renovated on basis of an old housing; the facilities cannot compare with modern hotels. 2. The hotel locates in a narrow road, very crowded and easy to be stuck in daytime, and I had problems with Uber drivers as they were reluctant to drive in. 3. There are constructions in the neighbor, 7am - 10pm, very noisy. Briefly speaking, if you are a tourist and hope to taste the old colonial living style, it is a good choice. But if you are a business traveler, a modern hotel may be a better choice.

A very charming and lovely hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Reception arranged a walking tour for us which was excellent. The rooms are clean and a good size with vintage furniture both in the bedrooms and in the main areas. The air con is very efficient. We loved sitting on the first floor outside terrace. We ate in the outside restaurant both nights that we stayed, as it was a very pleasant environment with good reasonable food. Very good coffee and cakes. When we stayed they didn't have a liquor license which was a pity but we understand they hope to have one shortly as they have applied.

Its very special at this hotel. You feel like in a time machine. I liked the room and the deco. Overall felt very comfortable. Its in the heart of Colcutta so once you leave this oasis you are in chaos and there is of course a lot of noise. But i did not hear much of that in the room. The staff was very friendly.
