Spent 6 nights at the Fairlawn Hotel early December. Having read many reviews on tripadvisor was a bit wary of what we might find. We actually loved the Fairlawn. For a clean, secure, centrally located hotel we found the price very fair. We found the staff courteous and helpful in the extreme. We stayed at the beginning and end of... more

This is a typical heritage hotel with rather hard beds! But is it quite fun and very well located. The staff are all very helpful and are kept under the watchful eye of the owner Violet who is in a mould of her own! We were collected from the airport at no charge and it is about 45 minutes from... more

I stayed at the Fairlawn for about a week in monsoon-july. If you look at what money can buy in Calcutta, the price isn't really fair. But, that said, it really has an amazing atmosphere, location and staff. If you (like me) like the hole Raj atmosphere, the ageing furniture (and staff) you'll love it. But I think the best... more

A very strange hotel, in a good and quirky way. The rooms are old but were clean and comfortable. The main positive was the service. We had to get to the airport very early the next morning and a strike had been anounced in Kolkata. They were able to find us a car and driver who got us out of... more

I was very excited about staying at this hotel. From reading through reviews and looking through photos I was as excited about meeting the charming owner, almost as much as staying at the hotel itself. Overall I was disappointed in the hotel. I like quirky, charming and characterful hotels, but I felt that the hotel was very run down and... more

I decided to stay at the Fairlawn at the end of my second trip to India. Again, this was a bit of a splurge, but the photos on the website and other reviews sold it as charming, and the location seemed worth the additional cost. Considering that it was one of the more expensive hotels at which I stayed, I... more

Great hotel!

We stayed in Fairlawn for 5 nights, in the beginning of May 2009. It is very popular with foreigners and many people had reccomended it to us because it is safe and quiet and because of its unique colonial flair. The point with the colonial flair is true and gives the place a lot of charm. One feels as if... more

So much else has been written. I was hesitant when I booked, but took a chance and was happy I did. The best way to describe it is that It's a bit like visiting your grandmother's (or great-grandmother's) house. Yes, the rooms are not spotless, and there are 50 layers of paint on anything that can be painted and many... more
