I stayed at The Lalit London last Thursday and the experience was hugely disappointing. There was a booking date issue caused by a third party website. Despite this being clear, the hotel refused to amend the booking or honour the rate I had originally secured. I was forced to rebook on the spot via the same third party site at reception and was asked to pay an additional £70 for the same room on the same night. No flexibility. No goodwill. Just rigid and unhelpful. The hotel markets itself as five star, but that is purely in name. I was allocated a disabled access room on the ground floor which was extremely noisy, with staff passing directly outside late at night and again early in the morning. Sleep was poor. The curtains did not fully cover the window and bright external lighting shone in 24 hours a day. The windows themselves were filthy and looked like they had not been cleaned in months. Overall, the stay felt tired, badly managed and nowhere near five star standards. Given the price, it is extremely poor value for money and I would not stay here again.

The room was ok, the hotel was a bit dated, but interesting with the history. The girl who checked us in on Friday 23rd was absolutely rude and unhelpful. We had 6 pieces of luggage between us and there was no offer for help, no greeting, etc. I was incredibly disappointed as this is supposed to be a more luxe experience.

All staff were friendly and very helpful. The room was spotless, and although not that big, it had everything we need. The complimentary mini bar is a nice touch and staff asked multiple times if we needed anything further. We didn’t eat at the hotel so can’t comment on the food. Great location for Tower Bridge and Borough Market and central enough to get to other areas like Covent Garden without too much trouble.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Beautiful building and great location, but very disappointing stay overall. I stayed one night and unfortunately experienced dirty bed linen with visible marks, which is unacceptable at this price point. My room was also opposite a staff/fire door that opened and closed loudly and repeatedly throughout the night, making sleep extremely difficult. The building itself is beautiful, the location is excellent, and the bar is lovely, though service was slow with only one staff member on duty. I raised these issues at checkout and later in writing (with photos of the dirty bed linen). While apologies were offered, the hotel declined to provide any meaningful compensation, which was disappointing and did not reflect the seriousness of the issues. They offered free breakfast and room upgrade (subject to availability), but I am not interested in returning to the hotel. Overall, not the standard I would expect from a top-end hotel and the price paid. I will avoid in the future.

Rugs worn and stained Gaslit by employee about the urine smell, telling me over and over that it’s just the smell of food. I guess their food smells like vinegar. Asked for ice to the room. Forgot to bring it. When we checked in they said that everything had been paid for, then flagged us down to pay later. Lots of confusion. The staff is incompetent. The restaurant and bar are lifeless.
