FabHotel Kitchen Q Inn
We checked in at around 8:30 PM. There was no one at the reception initially, and someone arrived after about five minutes. After completing the formalities, the room key was simply handed over to us. As far as I know, a staff member usually escorts the guest and shows the room, but no one accompanied with us or showed us the room. The welcoming attitude and hospitality were not satisfactory. The room shown on the website did not match the actual room provided. The photos displayed online were quite different from the real condition of the room.The room was moderately clean, but the bed sheet, pillow cover and blanket were dirty and appeared to have been previously used. In the bathroom, the bucket already contained water, the bathroom itself was not properly cleaned, and the toilet seat was broken. Overall, the hospitality, cleanliness, and maintenance were disappointing, and it was not a pleasant stay experience.
FabHotel Nest
My booking was cancelled just a few hours before my arrival without any prior notice. I had paid for a premium hotel, but they unilaterally cancelled it on the day of check-in and shifted my booking to a much lower-grade hotel. When I contacted them for help regarding a refund or a room change, they completely ignored my calls and did not respond at all. This level of service is extremely unprofessional and unacceptable. I would not recommend booking with them.
FabHotel Royal Plaza
They created this entire issue about tarrifs which they had to settle with fab, they let me check in at 4pm
FabHotel Sonargaon
worst experience, deceiving photos of the property. At this price a somewhat better experience can be experienced. The staff boys are least helpful. they dont help u with ur bags, dont even talk appropriately. The rooms was bad on another level. badly maintained. the bolt of the toilet was nt even working so hlwe had to sleep with the toilet door open. the commode was broken. Conplimentary breakfast needs a special bad mention. was provided 2 slices bread, one egg, a sachet of jam and a banana. didnt even serve tea with it. we had to order tea n milk and pay for it additionally. In short this property is totally avoidable. I had a late check in and the moment i checkd in i wondered when it will be morning so i cud leave this place
