The Lalit Great Eastern Kolkata

Kolkata|2.7km from Victoria Memorial
I shall start from arrival at the hotel. We were a family of four who had booked two rooms at the property. We arrived around 14:30 Hrs (at least 30 mins after the designated check-in time). First of all, although the check-in desk at the hotel is quite huge, there were only 3 staff members ***ning the desk, all of them occupied. We had to wait for around 15 mins, looking here and there like *****s with our bags on before someone greeted us. And I do not mind waiting for check-in; what I do mind is that despite multiple staff members seeing us wait, not one of them acknowledge our presence and asked us to take a seat and wait. They would all look at us and carry on. Forget a warm smile, forget a namaste, we were made to feel like fools just standing there without anyone attending to us. When we finally did get a chance to check in, we were given two adjacent rooms. The key to one room was handed over to us, and we were told that the second room is not ready yet and that as soon as it is ready the key would be sent to us in our room. We said okay and moved towards our room. Once in our room, all four of us sat waiting in one room for around 45 mins for the key to the second room. We were not able to unpack because we wanted to unpack in our respective rooms. Tired and hungry, we left the hotel to get ourselves some lunch and some sightseeing, hoping that by the time we return our second room would be ready. When we returned and asked for the key to the second room from the reception desk, we were told that the room that was allocated to us had been now given to someone else -- and we were given some other room that was ”close” to the first room. I understand that asking for adjacent rooms is a mere request and not a right. But had we been given a ”close” room earlier, we could have gotten the keys earlier at the time of check-in! We waited for a room for so long, only for it to be given to someone else. Fast forward to the next morning's breakfast. The spread was quite good and quite diverse in variety. However, again the entire staff at the breakfast looked tense for some reason. And they kept messing up with live counter orders. No one had a smile on, no one welcomed you with warmth, and no one made you feel as if you were staying in a 5-star hotel (which The Lalit considers itself to be). Our entire experience with The Lalit was below par at the very least. It was not the kind of experience you would expect from a branded property that so conveniently calls itself a luxury 5-star property. I honestly feel for the money that I paid, I could and should have gotten a different property and that would have been definitely better. For the foreseeable future, and till things change, I do not see myself staying at any Lalit property.

Red Arrow Residency
4.2/51 Reviews
Comments to the Red Arrow Hotel: This is a residential hotel with the front desk on the fourth floor. The hotel is successfully transformed from a residential building. Each suite is generally four bedrooms and one living room. The living room is large and decorated in Indian style. Each room is equipped with a bathroom. I like the positioning of the hotel, with a family atmosphere, especially the large living room. Wudang (sound) at the front desk of the hotel is very nice, with a shy smile, very consultative, and you can talk to him if you have any questions. The outside of the hotel is not facing the street, the entrance door is very inconspicuous, the innermost building after entering. If you have a meal, there is a fast food restaurant across the road with dumplings and buns, which are delicious and cheap.
The Corporate
2.9/55 Reviews
All the staff was very kind and friendly. The rooms were kept clean compared to the Indian standard. The restaurant on the ground floor had good food but no alcohol. Notable point was the location. The hotel was located near Park Street, accordingly, it was easy for me to access ***y restaurants and shops around there. Moreover, the metro station was near the hotel. The price was acceptable. But the ”Executive Room” is not recommended because of the smallness. As a whole, I think that it has good value for money. It is my regular hotel.
Kenilworth Hotel, Kolkata
4.3/574 Reviews
It is really a nice hotel. Good ambiance. Some people will complain about back side construction view & noise. But fortunately I got front side room, moreover who looks outside in city hotel? But for sound hotel May change backside windows to soundproof options. Clean & decorated room. Breakfast is ok, rather I would say Good if not Very Good. Reception people are very helpful, I got early check-in at 12:30PM. Nearby Shopping District. As it is busy area, so get ready for whole day huge traffic.
