The Elgin Fairlawn

Expected much more for The price paid

Shreshth Jain , Jul 10, 2019

The hotel, no doubt, looks elegant as it is a heritage property, however, only from outside. The walls of the rooms have water seepage problems, the rooms smell a lot because of this. The bathrooms have low water flow, even they smelled like a rotten rat. I could even spot rats in the lobby area. thus, for the price that you pay for the hotel, you should get much more facilities than they are providing now. I mean, they did not have dental kit or even a comb.

Amazing stay

Beautiful property, very vintage like

Good looking hotel. Below average room

Spent one night at the double room. The pictures on the site do not match those of the room. Although clean, the room is rather shabby. Furniture and accessories randomly placed, and are not as elegant as the hotels interiors. The room door is a struggle to shut, bathtub is peeling and feels dirty. The breakfast offered was good and small reserved notes with names of the guests were a good touch. If the room was more tastefully done and better maintained the property would have received a higher rating. For the price they charge, it's not worth it. The hotel itself though is beautiful.

Food was so delicious

But crowdy location of sudder street is not favorable.
No hangers in bathroom to hang towels.

Historical place in an interrupted transformation

The Elgin is historical. It's a walk-in into nostalgia. But making rooms more comfortable is not defacing its tradition and history. Basic improvements would certainly contribute to its legacy.
The hotel is historical, but this doesn't prevent them to update the room without missing its historical charm. Some basic amenities, a better shower and bed should not deface the property's historical features. I'm not saying the Elgin should turn into a excellent hotel, but some basic improvement is much needed.

One of the best location and close to new market.
Hotel was centrally located with excellent connectivity. Just beside new market the most famous market of Kolkata.

Wonderful old heritage building

Staff polite and well spoken. However linen not changed and toiletries not replaced until one made a complaint. This was unnecessary. Leakage and damp visible in several points. Great location. Place currently under renovation and can be very noisy and dusty. Especially sitting in lobby.

I just love everything of this hotel.

Excellent location/grounds and very helpful staff.

Excellent location and very helpful staff, excellent WiFi and good restaurant. Despite what the website might lead you to believe, there is no bar and there is no alcohol available in the hotel. Wonderful old building and grounds. But interior highly cluttered with idiosyncratic memorabilia from bygone era - maybe time to move on?
