1).Eventhough I informed the Fab Hotel ph.No. 7042424242 and agreed in phone for early checkin (gobibo avialable mobile no), the Hotel receptionist not accepted my early check in. The fab hotels customer care said that you have no problem for one hour early checkin, but the hotel receptionist said that we have no rooms. Eventhough the fab hotels customer care personal talked with the receptionist they are not allotted the room untill checkin time. After one hour waiting in the lobby, hotel receptionist privided the room at 11-50 AM. 2). We stayed for 2 days and provided only one water bottle. For the extra water bottle they charged 32 rupees, eventhough the MRP is 20/-. 3. The Room is Satisfactory. I am giving this rating for the hotel mangement and hosiptality only.
