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.
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 ☺️
We like the size and old feel of the bedroom but bathroom could use an upgrade. Neither of us wanted to use the shower
Good breakfast. Friendly all around
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)

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.
very cozy and unique characteristic hotel feels like you back in time, the staff are very warm, feels like a home away form home .
However would update some of the rooms, a new coat of paint would do alot. the old style and charcter should remain, this is truley unique!!
i will be back for sure and would recommend the place!
