Overall my stay at the Fairmont was good due to the staff and service. I did find the facilities quite tired and worn out, for example the wallpaper in our initially allocated room was peeling off, weird smell etc. The hotel could definitely do with a renovation as it’s clear it’s very old and needs a refresh. The staff were exceptional though, except for one colleague at the front of Mazaj (Lebanese restaurant) who was quite passive aggressive and rude, all were amazing.

Poor
Small room, extremely small beds, not good for families or couples. No privacy in the rooms, if you need to use the washroom at night then you have to switch on the lights of the whole room and wake up everyone with you. Shower and toilet are not located properly in the room which makes it less private.
