"A new addition to the strip, this chain hotel offers smart, modern and tastefully decorated rooms but at an extraordinary price unless you are able to score one of their great web offers."

"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
"Well run and not without a certain eccentric charm, it has comfortable rooms and a pleasant garden."
"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."
"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
Top choice
"Taking guests since 1936, the Fairlawn is a characterful 1783 Raj-era home fronted by tropical greenery." Full review
