Fairview's gardens are a welcome retreat, calming, picturesque. Overall the staff were attentive and aimed to please. The restaurant staff (pool-side) were great in their recommendations.
Points of improvement: More attention to be paid at checkin to status of guests. I booked Fairview especially because of the VIP (Expedia) status it afforded me. At checkin, they checked only for IHG staus, and I was booked into a small room on the backside of the hotel, overlooking a rooftop. When I notified the front desk, they immediately sought to rectify the problem, and I was upgraded to the poolside room.
Also, using the rather efficient room service ordering (via whatsapp) I ordered a light meal (soup, naan, water). It was after 2100. After an hour of waiting, I checked and was told that the staff had "left, and had forgotten." While the staff member with whom I spoke offered to rectify the oversight, it was too late for me.
Upon checkout, the managerial staff apologized profusely and offered to comepnsate at a future stay.
I would stay at Fairview again. The location was perfect; I felt safe; the menu variety was great; the room was clean and quiet.
