Non sense, I am not stay, hotel person told me all rooms & contact FAB toll free Called FAB toll free & they cut the call once I raise the concern
Non sense, I lost my money Fake hotel, my money waste Booking.com & FAB group cheat me
Located close to the main bus stand. A little difficult to identify. Advisable to speak to the hotel on the phone.
The room has a stench indicating lack of ventilation even though it has a big window that can be opened. Carpet was severely stained and old. Mattress on the bed had broken springs, which gave us a backache. Bathroom sink was cracked, geyser didn't work. Breakfast was included but the eating area was unclean. One night stay should not have cost more than 1000-1200 for this room.
Advantages:- Near to the market and shopping
Initially i thought fab hotels are good one , that's why I booked through booking.com, but my experience was very vas Disadvantages :- A lot About buffet area, 1. Their cleanliness was very bad, need to think about a good housekeeping 2. Morning breakfast serving is not clean, we have paid money that's why you're giving food, keep this in your mind 3. I have requested Hot water for my kid, she was given , until I saw the bottom of water kettle , very dusty. See atleast this one you should take care, but you're not. Rooms :- rooms are spacious but 1. There is no facilities like coffee, tea, milk powder, hot water kettle is not there, 2. To ask anything to the reception, you have to come down for asking them 3. Room cleanliness to be improved 4. There is full of windows on every wall, but the window curtain doesn't fit, someone's can be watching you from nearby buildings during night 5. In the toilet they exhaust window broken 6. In the toilet a mirror was there, you can see what a person doing the toilet from bed. You have given an option to close by curtain , but this is also having gaps, very thin, can not able to switch on light during night. 7. In the toilet heater don't work properly, tripped once. And I do the same twice ,heater efficiency is very low,if a person bathed next person need to wait for 15 to 30 minutes to get hot 8. Water color is changed into black in the morning. Seems koldai lake water 9. Room locks are very flimsy, please change into professional locks 10. Water not came in the wash basin 11. Sofas in the rooms are damaged conditions. Overall, i have booked this hotel for rs.3580, but this is not more than worth for 1500 rupees, even hotel employees are not in professional manner, please give them an uniform. It's a nice building but because of their bad maintenance very bad.
Breakfast and location are okay: Had to wait 30 mins on breakfast. Wish they had sanitized, cleaned dining tables.
Clean rooms and unbroken wash basin would have been better. Had to change 3 different rooms until I find semi- decent room just to sleep in. Liquor bottles leftover from previous customers.
I stay in a suite room,hot water is not good mixed with mud,then the room does not look like an image, No amenities in the room,such as shampoo,dental kit,soap is medimix soap what they are given,
Not good
Room service
Nothing
No phone to call reception Bathroom has poop flies on ceiling Towels had hair strands Wifi password is not readily shared Had to ask for towels and soaps Receptionist who checked us in took 500 saying early checkin to his personal account I dont recommend this hotel at all The biggest scam is hotel operators asking money before hand to confirm reservation, im baffled how booking.com allows this, where is the free cancellation upto checkin??
car parking not easy
Hotel does not worry about restaurant as it is managed by someone else.Hotel management should have close leiason
Modest hotel.
Spacy room The restaurant and staff is dirty and unhygienic.
The room carpet is dirty with black spots. Toilet seat broken. No drinking water in the room. No glasses. A Bar is located near to the property and drunken people quarrelled outside. Not recommended for family with kids. Location not good with narrow roads.
Im the hotel absolutely nothing.
All bad opinions about this hotel were true. Not clean at all. No hot water or only fir 10 sec. Leaking taps. Very cold at night. Heater to be paid in addition. Not working toilet flush properly. Breakfast very poor - did not eat but have seen. I needed to cancel my reservation - they anyhow charge me 210 INR for service in addition. Pathetic place. No one taking care. People are working there like there are punished by that. My worst experience of hotel in India.
Location wasn’t bad. Room service is not given.
Room service should be provided, breakfast should be added in the room cost. They are not updating the booking confirmation. I have returned to my home but still they are mailing and sending messages on WhatsApp about payment and confirmation of booking.
Overall the only thing that i wish i could share as the bed's comfort rather than that the food quality and the appearance of room was the only thing that was worth the money.
Overall this the the worst place that i was not satisfied with. if you want to book a room for yourself it might be useful, but if you come with your family it is not worth for money , rather than that the poor quality of water, poor service ,dusty room teared carpets ,bed, and high cost . I am really unsatisfied with the room and service.
Nothing
We had a very bad experience with the brainless manager over there. During booking itself we requested for early check in as our bus will reach there early.we were even ready to pay the tariff for that. But that stupid manager rudely denied us saying we were no way respondsible for the request u made. He also said give whatever feedback u want Nothing will harm me....Is this the way to talk to the customers..? After booking online i got mails,watsup messages asking to pay 30% amount or else will get cancelled.but after paying no one answered our call..... also no responds for our early check in request.... then y we need to pay early?such a stupid guy appointed in fab hotels kodaikanal who is going to be reson for their downfall....All the very best for hiring such an idiot as manager.
Restaurant is not hygiene. So we didn’t eat from there.
location is just ok as it it is near to the town.
This could be a scam under the Tag of Fab hotel. I cannot understand how booking.com shows good review, while google reviews clearly underline how worst this property is. This is a totally worthless hotel for the money paid. this is simply a lodge with zero amenities. restaurant is just a dirty, un-hygienic hall run by untrained local people, who serve the food bare-handed. it is simply the worst hotel we have ever stayed. Impolite staff, No drinking water, no tea/ coffee bags, no kettle, available in room. bath room with faulty lock and broken windows, defective toilet flush. dirty mess hall.
Only location is good
We opted for a premium room by paying extra, as charged by the hotel. The bathroom badin was cracked, it didn't have any cloth hanger or rod. The tea maker was not available. We were not given any toiletries besides bath soap. It was very cold, it didn't have any room heater. Overall bad maintenance
Spacious and clean room, comfortable bed. Great value for money
The staffs were a little rude
The rooms were smelling and not as shown in the pictures. When we asked for the other rooms the staff told it is what it is. Infact we haven’t stayed there and just canceled without staying..!
There is nothing to like
every thing
Space room
No breakfast
Customer service
Vehicle parking poor
We had a bad experience at the Abirami hotel inn. Fab hotel Abirami Grand Inn __No ***3 star standard and not valuable for money which I paid.hotel is an unhygienic bed sheet and billows ( inside the billow soo dirty sign may be I hope there were using last 5 years) .its very stink and unclean.Not working power sockets.Tv screen all lines .No kettle .No sanitizer. No response ,when we call the receptionist several times.And we had a bad experience for morning breakfast.while taking 1st day morning breakfast. One of the canteen people came and shouted, your booking didn't include breakfast he said in an unprofessional way ,when we were sitting with family.we are treated like hostel students. He is very much attitude. We had a very bad experience!!! 😔
Room size.
Everything. Toilets, service and staff.
The rooms are good and cozy. Lift facilities are available with good support staff.
It is situated on a small narrow lane, bit tight for large cars and located besides a busy main road. It is difficult to access and park the vehicles. It is very difficult to reverse or turn your care as it is a sloped road too.
It was a horrible hotel with disgusting room and breakfast. Please avoid this hotel.
Everything was so unhygienic and unclean from the rooms to the entire hotel itself. Really bad hotel!
Nothing much . Everything was below average
Complementary breakfast service was very poor. We didn’t got enough food. When we ask for one more serve they were asking for extra money . Very poor service . Not clean . Rude staff . Wi-Fi was very slow Not provided given amenities Not properly cleaned
The location is good.
No service, no drinking water in the room, even after calling several times nobody bother to pickup the phone, when electricity went off even knowing that we have to go to second floor with bags the staff didnt run the generator, the guiser capacity is so small that even one bucket of water doesn't fill.
It was decent place, but with so many opportunities for improvement
Basically you have nothing there except for bed and hot water, it was extremely cold in the room. No drinking water, no tea, no kettle...
I m take food out side hotel
Rooms given by under ground floor
Breakfast & Food was good and tasty however cleanliness needs to be improved in the restaurant.
Food menu along with the rate card was not provided. Cleanliness needs to be improved in the restaurant.
homely food
there is no fan in room
Good food at restaurant. Rooms were very good and specious. Need heater in room when it is too cold outside. Very good and helping staff and good arrangement for taxi etc.
Need room heater as it was too cold
Amazing room with amazing view 🪟🌈 very neat and clean room....just fall in love... their food was also 100% homemade and very tasty....quick service...very polite staff...5 out of 5.
Comfortable and a peaceful stay, staff was very helpful and the location was good
Good location, specious and clean rooms, courteous staff
Nothing much 😔
Except for the location nothing is great about this hotel. Breakfast package I suggest not to take from this hotel as they provide very simple breakfast without tea on demand and without milk too. No drinking water facilities in the room, even though we have to do it for ourselves The family room doesn't connect to WiFi service which was a huge disappointment for us and we need to spend on our mobile data package. The overall location and the scenic location is the best I can say very near to the lake. Even though the hotel rooms were empty we were not offered the room wherein we had checked in earlier. Staff could have provided us early check in from their kind gesture.
Location : its on the prime location
Rooms are small, smelly and not like the standards i expect
Location as it close to Lake surrounding and restaurants
Not clean No towels, soaps / dental kits Rooms and toilet were not kept clean. Could see dusts gathered around corners in the room.
Cleanliness
Shower was not working. There is no room service.
View from balcony
Drinking water was not available in the room, hot water was also not available. Geyser was not working, upon calling the hotel person to check hot water, he did some checking of geyser but still hot water was not available. AC/fan was not there in room, even though the location is cold still in the afternoon it gets hot. Washroom has a glass wall and curtain was transparent, this was really uncomfortable.
Value for money
Power cut and room was very compact
Location and parking arrangements are good
Water is fully black in colour and not suitable for using
Hart of the city
Very congested
Worth for the money Good facilities Good staff
Room, loacation and staff was goos
