      Nice hotel around night clubs of Kolkata”
      The overall ambiance and facilities are great, staffs are helpful but the surrounding area is not family friendly. The hotel is very center of Kolkata and you have to travel by taxis all the time if you stayed there. The only problem I found that the major night clubs are located in the same lane and surround environment is not quite family friendly for walking.

      Beautiful, modern hotel with traces of historic building that add character. We had a large, comfortable room in the old section of the hotel. Service was excellent, buffet breakfast was humongous, and location is central (although right next to seedy side street).

      Nice hotel, frustrating stay”
      I booked the Lalit as it was conveniently-located and on sale, and paid through Agoda. Agoda did not send through the booking confirmation - this is the third time this has happened to me, and the second time in ten days. It meant a long delay to check in when I arrived at 8pm, when I had already been awake and travelling and working since 2.30am. Staff seemed unaware I was coming, and that I had paid, and would not show me to my room because Agoda had not confirmed. They also expected me the next day to have checked out, when the vouched I had clearly showed I had paid for a two-night stay. They also failed to register a credit card when I did finally check in, and also failed to tell me this would me I would have to pay for room service the moment it arrived - which added another level of frustration to the experience, waiting for card payments to go through while I was trying to start eating. It just comes across as very disorganised.

      A Miser’s Haven”
      The Great Eastern was a Great Disappointment for the following reasons: 1. No warm or cologned towels after an hour and a half ride from the airport 2. No welcome drink 3. Fruits of the season on a platter complimentary brought to the room only after asking for it twice. 4. Only one pair of chappals for the couple 5. Water flooding into the room from the shower area 6. TV surfing made difficult without a Menu choice 7. One bucket seat in the room for two. 8. The a/c control does not work as the temp pre set to 20 C 9. The restaurant Al Fresco made me feel like a beggar with the staff being standoffish most times in my two nights’ stay Good things: The concierge Dipu and Tatha were extremely efficient and the driver Sameer Kar was politeness incarnate.

      Good hotel some limitations ”
      Very nice rooms, clean spacious and comfortable. Staff all friendly and smartly dressed. Easy to get to attractions from hotel. Good gym facilities but disappointing pool area as it was so very cold. We had booked this hotel as we thought the pool would be a welcome break some days but was too cold to use. There was hardly ever anyone brave enough to go in. I would have liked to have a nice sitting area to read or have a drink but there was no facility for this,. It would have been nice to sit and chill after a day in the city but we had to go to our room

      As agreed and promised they did not take care of our breakfast. ”
      We had requested for our breakfast to be packed and kept ready at 7 as we had to leave early for the train. When we checked out at 7:15 and asked for the breakfast the staff was initially clueless and then came up and said they returned the packed breakfast back to the kitchen as we were not ready at 7. This was a lame excuse given as if the breadsticks boxes were ready they should have called our room. The staff knew we were with young children and had just flown in to Kolkata at 1am . We were hardly in the hotel for 4-5 hours of total stay. We had a train to take the next morning and we needed our breakfast as priority. The whole purpose of getting a reputed hotel and food sorted for our train journey was DEFEATED. And we are extremely disappointed with the staff for how they handled it. Never again we will or let our family/friends come back to this hotel again. Dhawans

      Nice Hotel”
      The Lalit is a nice hotel but all the services are overpriced, such as meals and drinks etc. You expect to pay more at an establishment like this, but there's a point where you start to think your being taking advantage of. I have stopped at all the top 5 star hotels on my trips to India and he Lalit was probably the lowest standard of the big 10 in india. But don't be put off It is a nice hotel ,clean and a good breakfast.

Staff are really good... and cleanliness was to international standards... something that can’t really be said for many Indian hotels. Food was good too. All staff were very happy to serve and so friendly - always greeting you with a smile. We are all so happy with our stay there and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a nice hotel in Kolkata. Go on book it... it’s well worth it. Well done to all the staff and management of the hotel for delivering such a wonderful experience.

      Totally Unexpected - brilliant service ”
      Welcome - security and bell staff / concierge staff was really good. Pleasant, friendly and very polite staff. Check in - the reception and check in was relatively easy. Staff were extremely attentive and had a good knowledge of processes. No complaints there too. Both rooms we booked were close by, as requested. Breakfast - we arrived mid morning and decided to have a snack while we were waiting for the rooms. Very good.... not something we experienced at other Indian hotels. Location - city centre location. Walking distance of shopping, restaurants and tourist attractions / main business districts. Cleanliness and Housekeeping - there a very few hotels in India where the cleanliness standards are maintained to international standards. This is one that has very high standards. Well done. Many Indian hotels have no appreciation for cleanliness. They don’t seem to understand the need to maintain clean rooms, bathroom and general accommodation. Value - well worth price

      Hi guys, You have to really look at the training you provide before deploying the staff to the reception. I had booked 8rooms for 3 nights and by mistake i mistakenly placed 1 adult for the last room for 3 nights instead of 3. It was my mistake but did not understood on when requested to waive of the extra adult charges, you staff name Shomo had an arrogant tone on him. Later Mr. Shankar came who was the duty manager and understood that this idiot was harrasing us for no reason at 11pm and release him from attending us and later he explained the charges etc.

Good location, about 400 m to the metro and abundant of taxis and auto to take you anywhere (they also provide a car service too.) One minus is that there was a party (?) at a pub downstairs and the sound kept booming into our room until the party was over around 2 am. in the morning. Other than that it was a very pleasant stay.

      Excellent service, location, buffet”
      The entrance to the hotel is down an unassuming street so we were a bit unsure what to expect, but as soon as we were greeted at the door we were impressed. The staff was all extremely friendly, especially the concierge staff, and we loved returning to this haven after a long day sight-seeing. The buffet was excellent; in particular we enjoyed the juice bar, and our barista remembered our drink preferences from day to day without needing us to order! Although the pool is on the smaller side, it is peaceful and calm. The hotel is located in the heart of the old colonial district, so all of the major sights are within a 20-30 minute drive, with some (like New Market) within easy walking distance. We loved everything about our stay and would highly recommend the Great Eastern.

      Asian institution ”
      Current renovations underway to try and recreate this legendary institution.- so some areas (eg reception) temporarily lack character . The experience now comes at a high cost but worth the expense. Staff are superb and the concierge exceptional in their enthusiastic assistance. Location for historical sights and Eden Gardens is ideal. Heritage rooms are spacious but unfortunately lack views except of back streets and walls.

      Justifiably plays on the hotels long heritage but without compromising modern conveniences.”
      Expensive but staff outstanding and overall quality very good. Current renovations promise better lounge/reception areas. It will never recreate the original hotels legendary status- but echos of the rich history are everywhere both at hotel and in its environs.
