The front desk staff were terrible. Three to four female staff members at the front checkin desk were either clueless or not willing to help. The restaurant staff were very polite and friendly and the room cleaning lady was excellent. She was very friendly and always had a big smile.

A very stylish, modern hotel in a very good location. Though noisy early evening, it quieted down around 9pm which ensured a good night’s sleep.
Friendly helpful staff though was a bit hectic checking in as everyone was looking to check in and out at the same time. As this is a luxury hotel I would have expected a cold drink on arrival whilst waiting (developed world problems I know, but this is down as a luxury hotel).
Would definitely recommend this hotel.

We arrived half an hour after check in time and were told our rooms weren’t ready. We asked to wait somewhere we could get lunch and were taken out onto the street to a cake shop/bar/restaurant. Service there was very slow and my food was cold when it arrived. Not a great start to our stay in LaLit. However we got upgraded rooms to compensate. Rooms were very spacious and beautiful though the safe didn’t work and the bath water was brown. Also I only got one towel. Food in the restaurant was very good.

Being a heritage hotel I liked the style of the rooms and size. Towels were stained and not white as they should be. Breakfast staff not trained to serve tea etc properly and don’t speak English. Front office staff were good and could communicate with international guests. Food selection good. Hotel overpriced for what they offer.

Property is a bit dark even though facilities and amenities are new. We had some minor troubles checking in but they compensated it with a late check out. Breakfast was good.

I recently stayed at your hotel and I was disappointed with the level of service I received. In particular,the breakfast was awful and also there was no simple teabag in the room and the refrigerator was not working, which impacted my overall experience. I hope you will take my feedback into consideration as you strive to improve your guests' experience in the future.

Reception was very unhelpful & the waiters in the breakfast room were untrained, lots of improvement required before this hotel can be of the rated class

A quiet hotel which was clean and central. I stayed at the back of the hotel so had no view but had no city noise too. Breakfast was good but not enough vegan food. Staff courteous and they even wore Pride badges in January, which was a wonderful initiative by the hotel. They had a pride flag in the front of the hotel. Thank you.

The property is closer to some of the attractions. As there is a renovation going on, its dusty and sometimes noisy. I wouldnt want to visit this property till the reno is completed.

The check-in experience for someone who is used to excellent customer service in US, was just mediocre. We checked in pretty late around 11 pm. The gentleman who helped us did not put any extra effort to make us feel welcome. No offers of water whatsoever. He insisted on putting a credit card on file, repeatedly, even when I mentioned that it was late and we would like to go to my room after a very long flight.
The staff at the restaurants, janitorial staff, porters etc. are very nice. I loved interacting with them.
The breakfast and the in room dining were good and we really enjoyed the variety of food.
The staff at the reception completely ignored us and any requests we made. Toilet paper arrived in 2 hours, after three calls to the reception.
However, the worst part of the stay was that two nights before we are scheduled to check-out, we receive a call at 10 pm from Mr. Faisal at the reception asking for feedback on the stay. That was really in very bad taste. I requested to speak to the manager the following morning but that did not materialize. I am disappointed that such a pricey place could not exhibit basic decency in dealing with their guests. This has most certainly left a bad taste in my mouth.
I travel via Kolkata very often due to work, but will not be returning here.

All generally very good. I guess it should be at the price - probably 2x or 3x a mid-range hotel in Kolkata - but still excellent value for this level of comfort and service+ Wi-fi, room and bathroom very good, staff accommodating of odd requests- Food a bit over-priced

Fabulous hotel and staff. The breakfast choices and quality were superb. Good location, about 10 minute walk to the nearest metro station ( Kolkata traffic is a nightmare).

It is, like its names tells, a great hotel, one of Indias oldest. The rooms - bathrooms, has a great size, the hower 'room', was great marble floor with black stones and rainy water coming out. Large Tv with international news, among them my favourite ( I am not a religious person - coming from Denmark), Al jazzera in English - for years I have thought it is the the most - if any - objective News station. The Breakfast Buffet is huge - I wish the western bread was more frersh though. Staff overall is perfect - very serviceminded in a real pleasant way - no Baksheesh eyes. Maybe to many Namaste, when you walk out from the elevator, I like to be a guest - not 'god'-like.

The Lalit Great Eastern is a lovely hotel. It’s in a great location, is very quiet, and the staff are very warm and helpful. I’d always stay there again.

I returned home after a week at Lalit Great Eastern extremely sick. I was sick while there and constantly being visited by doctor. At home I was diagnosed with rotavirus, and two strains of Ecoli. I am extremely ill and on strong antibiotics in US. At least some of these bugs came from the hotel breakfast and/or dinner buffet, I feel. There is a lavish spread of food but I question the hygiene standards in the kitchen and don’t know how many times food is reused or how well fresh fruits and vegetables are stored. The hotel is attempting to do more than it can handle. Also there is only one restaurant under a glass roof. At breakfast time I think the sun shining on food that is kept out for several hours causes spoilage. The hotel looks neat and clean, but I got very sick eating here. I didn’t eat anywhere else but the hotel. On a side note, it was very disappointing that the historic section of this hotel seems to be closed for renovation for several years to come. But even that would have been okay if I’d returned home in good health.
