This was merely ok. For this class hotel and price, they should have full AC and no unscreened windows. It was full of mosquitos, which is a huge disease issue!
LaLiT is a historic building, near the colonial seat of power when Calcutta was the capital of the British Raj. The traffic around the hotel is chaotic, not to mention crowded. But the staff were wonderful.
My husband and I enjoyed our stay, and will stay there again when we are next in Kolkata.
Although I arrived late, and the hotel was at capacity due to the IPL opening game, I received very quick and efficient service from the reception staff. My suite was beautiful (Victoria suite) and every moment at the LaLit Great Eastern felt like a journey through time and history.
The food was also good and the staff at Alfresco were helpful and friendly. I would absolutely recommend here for foreigners.
The staff was great, the breakfast average, the hotels is worn out and its in need of an urgent update. Breakfaste area is old and worn out and the same with some other areas. Super comfy bed and great bathroom.
Friendly and helpful staff, lovely breakfast buffet, nice smelling toiletries, and pretty interior architecture. I didnât have time to explore the area as I was just staying the night between my flight into Kolkata and a drive to Durgapur, but it seemed like there were interesting places nearby.
