The LaLiT Great Eastern Kolkata

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.

All staffs are friendly, well trained, helpful.

Stay at Great Eastern Lalit has always been pleasant. Staff and service is wonderful.

Excellent hotel with great services and staff. Special thanks to Mahima and Dipankar for an excellent service. Would definitely stay there again. Love their spacious room and shower room.

Amazing
