It is unclear where the hotel reception is as there were no staff to great and direct you and there is no obvious front desk and the staff did not seem especially interested. The TV in my room didn't work and although an attempt was made to remedy this, no further redress was offered (change room).Nice hotel but felt rather unwelcoming.

I booked this hotel as a special gift for my sister and brother-in-law’s 15th wedding anniversary because I expected a genuine five-star experience. Unfortunately, it fell well below those expectations.

I paid extra for a room advertised with a Shard view, but in reality the view was extremely disappointing – you could only see the very tip of The Shard, which certainly wasn’t worth the additional cost.

The room itself was surprisingly small and lacked the luxury, comfort and attention to detail you would expect from a five-star hotel. Overall, it felt much closer to an average four-star experience than the premium stay I had paid for.

I had also contacted the hotel on more than one occasion beforehand to explain that this was a very special 15th anniversary celebration and requested some simple decorations or special touches. Apart from a small cake, nothing had been arranged. Even the cake was of poor quality and did not feel like something worthy of such an occasion, which made the celebration feel like an afterthought.

The most concerning issue, however, was safety. The mats in the bedroom were extremely slippery, causing my brother-in-law to slip and hurt his back. My sister reported this to the hotel, but this is not something guests should have to experience, especially in a hotel that promotes itself as five-star.

As this stay was my anniversary gift to them, I felt genuinely disappointed and embarrassed. I had chosen this hotel based on its reputation and expect

Beautiful building and beautiful room. The Indian breakfast is a must try! Absolutely delicious! We found the entrance a little odd. No welcome in the entrance hall, had to look for reception. Loads of extras in the bedroom, soft drinks, crisps, biscuits and plenty in the bathroom, everything you could possibly need. (Unfortunately my dressing gown had two holes in it) All in all, would definitely recommend and would stay again.

Beautiful location, next to Tower Bridge, in a convenient area close to walks, markets, shops and pubs - bars, restaurants and cafes.
The building is stunning from the outside and inside. The attention to details is excellent.
The rooms are unique, converted old classrooms. Equipped with latest gadgets and anything you would need (apart from slippers, but I'm sure they would have provided us some if we had asked for them). Great sleep on comfortable beds with choice of pillows. Incredibly clean in the room and throughout.
It seems to be close to a police station but it doesn't matter as the air control is so perfect, you don't need to have open windows.
The staff were wonderful and a visit to the SPA for treatments was amazing.
I would love to go back, and I recommended to anyone wanting a great, luxury stay in London.

We LOVED our stay at the Lalit. Sadly, we were only there for one night, but everything was top-notch from check-in to departure. The staff are so helpful and friendly, and eager to ensure your stay is wonderful. Room service was delicious. The Headmaster's Bar is a fun trip back to the posh school vibe (order the picante margarita). The hotel is spotless, we loved the natural light, fresh air, and being surrounded by trees . Location is amazing and safe, with a lot of great restaurants within walking distance, and the river/Tower Bridge just minutes away. Some reviewers complained about the noise, which was minimal during the day and very quiet at night (I'm really fussy btw...). You're in the middle of a very impacted city, and we loved being able to open the windows, so a bit of noise is to be expected. If you enjoy hotels with charm and character, the Lalit is for you. We stayed in the beautiful and historic Lalit One suite. Book that if you can - it's gorgeous. Either way, you'll enjoy your stay. We'll be back!

The hotel service could have been much better. We had to request items like towels and cutlery multiple times before they arrived. It was also very dusty in the room, as in a layer of dust on some of the furniture. Other than that, the rooms were spacious and the location was great. My only other gripe was the television options; no option for streaming channels, etc.. A nice hotel overall, but not a 5 star experience by any measure.

This is not a five star hotel. The bed and room furnishings (which were run down) were mediocre at best. It takes more than free chips and soda pop (free mini bar which it is not) or a button you can press for do not disturb to be a 5 star. I expect luxury accommodation, this isn’t even close. There was no bellman to greet you and help with luggage until you walked in and asked for help. There is no sound proofing on windows as stated so if your room is on the back of the hotel you are on the loading dock. My bathroom ceiling leaked two days in a row before they moved me and after requesting to speak with the duty manager I never received a call back. Would never recommend this place and Expedia should do a site visit to validate their 5 star status, strongly disagree.

1st time staying at this hotel, chose a suite as it was a special occasion. Thoroughly recommend this hotel. Suite was very clean, spacious and had everything we required. Hotel staff offered a very warm welcome every time we entered the hotel, and we extremely helpful throughout our stay. Breakfast was slightly disorganised with staff trying to charge us, when full breakfast options were already included in our Suite booking. But once resolved, breakfast was very enjoyable. Thoroughly recommend staying here if you wish to be near London Bridge or Tower Bridge; The Shard: or Borough Market. London Bridge Tube station is located nearby.

The only recommendation I have is to make a more inviting entrance. Add a sign too. It was a little confusing when we checked in, didn’t find the entrance, that is on the side. We went to the restaurant to ask. Otherwise it was a great stay and I recommend the hotel.

Good location, bed very comfortable, decent size room and great shower.
The room was a good size but the room could do with a refurb.

We’ve stayed in one of the senior classrooms before and this is just a bigger version with the same amenities.

Several sockets don’t work and some areas are a bit shabby.
Service this time around was minimal.
We were told to go up in the lift to the 3rd floor but the lift only goes to floor 2.
We then had to wander a bit to find how to get to 3.

Shame also about the big beam that cuts across the front door to the room, which obviously isn’t shown on the room description, photos, or mentioned by staff.
Definitely would not describe this as a suite.

We wouldn’t stay again as we would never pay full price here.
Only booked here as had accrued over £100 in Expedia points.
Save your money and book a premier Inn.

I stayed at the hotel recently and while there are several aspects to appreciate, the overall experience falls slightly short of what one would expect from a true five-star property.

The location is undeniably excellent and highly convenient. The room size is also a notable advantage, being more generous than most London hotels, and the interior design has a distinctive, well-considered character, particularly within such a beautiful Victorian building.

That said, the execution on finer details does not quite align with a five-star standard. The quality of soft furnishings and amenities — including the bathrobe, towels, slippers, pillows and toiletries — felt relatively basic and closer to a three-star level. In a property where facilities such as a swimming pool or spa are not available, these in-room elements become even more important, and currently they do not fully meet expectations.

I had also made a prior request for a quiet room, which unfortunately was not reflected in the allocation. The room was positioned near a staircase, and due to limited sound insulation, there was noticeable disturbance from door movements and foot traffic early on Sunday morning.

Overall, the hotel has strong fundamentals — particularly in location, room size and design — but the attention to detail and consistency of execution could be improved. It feels like a missed opportunity, where avoidable shortcomings in execution undermine what is otherwise a very strong asset — a well-located

I had booked a senior classroom for our overnight stay at the Lalit. Upon check in, I was told I’d been upgraded to the Lalit Suite. I didn’t question, why would you when it’s an ‘upgrade’.
When I entered the room, it seemed nice enough but just very bare! There was no water in the room, no body lotion or any of the other amenities. The shower gel, shampoo conditioner were bog standard cash and carry products. The pillows are terrible! Whatever happened to firmer pillows?
At around 8.30am the house keeping staff started ringing the bell and when I opened the door, she apologised profusely to say she didn’t realise there was anyone there because her notes said the room was ‘out of service’.
So clearly, they had either oversold rooms and put me in a room that wasn’t fit / ready, or there was some miscommunication at their end. All in all, it was not the best experience, and I am not sure I will be staying here, certainly not at the price they charge!
