The Elgin Fairlawn, Kolkata

The location was perfect, easy to walk to tour meet up points. It is a heritage hotel so I enjoyed learning about the history and notable guests. The food was also delicious.

It takes 30 minutes for the water to get warm for a shower

For rooms on the ground floor, the music from restaurant was quite loud. I'd recommend a upstairs room to future guests.

Lovely staff and atmosphere. Always happy to return after trips out into the bustling city!

Not very powerful aircon or water pressure (but both just about adequate) Lots of open air for hotel amenities, so maybe complimentary mosquito repellant would be helpful.

Posizione in zona tranquilla, personale gentile e disponibile, ottimo ristorante aperto a qualsiasi ora, buonissima la colazione varia e abbondante!! Camera grande e pulita, letto comodo.

Location

For 70 euros per night I was placed in a stinky, musty, small and dark room without windows in a corner of the dining room, with uncomfortable bed, an old noisy fan, an almost non-existent wifi, probably a former space for family's slaves. The greediness of the (ostensibly noble) owners of this place goes beyond any imagination. But well, it's India, nothing should surprise you...

Historic old hotel, very interesting vibe if you are looking for something that is not a chain hotel. Great that they have many western options for food at their restaurant as well, so you can have plenty of choice.

Because it is old, some facilities are old as well and may not be working too well, such as the water boiler. Overall, everything was manageable.
