Lonely Planet "Probably offers the best value of all the ultrabudget dives. High-ceilinged rooms are as ragged as ever but there’s a somewhat atmospheric old 1st-floor sitting room and a peaceful roof terrace." Full review
Rough Guide "Cramped place, with a relaxing roof terrace; despite the surly – sometimes downright rude – service, it’s been popular with budget travellers since the 1960s... There are better rooms upstairs."

Frommer's "Popular with people who are not too finicky about service, and are quite prepared to trade modern furnishings and fittings for character and quirkiness (not to mention great location and rates)." Full review
Insight Guides "Well run and not without a certain eccentric charm, it has comfortable rooms and a pleasant garden."
Rough Guide "Chock-full of memorabilia, this famous and old-fashioned family-run hotel exudes a charmingly faded and eccentric Raj atmosphere, though the absence of modernization doesn’t suit all tastes."
Fodor's "If you want a taste of life in the Raj, stay in this Kolkata landmark that dates from 1801 and is in a neighborhood now popular with backpackers and volunteers." Full review

"Taking guests since 1936, the Fairlawn is a characterful 1783 Raj-era home fronted by tropical greenery." Full review
