We stayed at Shangri-la for two nights.I can’t praise enough the staff and the hotel itself. Upon arrival, we were upgraded to an amazing city-view room. Our room was facing St Paul’s Cathedral and other famous landmarks. The views were absolutely breathtaking. I decided to use the pool and sauna. It was brilliant! Again stunning views as the pool is located on the 52nd floor. Breakfast was delicious with a great selection of cold and hot food, fruits and pastries. The facilities at the hotel are great but what makes everything perfect is the people and staff. A big thank you to duty manager Tylor and the reception staff, especially Jasmine and Andzelika, the pool attendant. You made our stay memorable.❤️

Beautiful boutique 5 star hotel, the staff were very welcoming and attentive. Booked the Senior Classroom which was perfect for my niece and I staying at this fantastic find! When I opened the door to our hotel room my niece and I were so impressed with the room that we booked. It was my niece’s birthday and the lovely staff left a surprise chocolate birthday cake. The Senior Classroom was amazing, very elegant great bathroom/shower and super clean! The free mini bar (bottled soft drinks) and snacks was a nice touch & much welcomed. Close to Tower Bridge, 10 minutes walk to Borough Market. Not far and also close proximity to the railway/tube and an abundance of fabulous restaurants, cafes and bars. We will definitely highly recommend The Lalit and stay here again.

As we arrived staff greeted us, and were very helpful. Check in was easy. Room was very clean, very comfortable beds, coffee machine and everything we needed, including soft robes. Pool was nice a little cold but the hot tub was very warm so very much enjoyed. Again all areas were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was OK, some bits were alittle cold, but the chef cooked me poached eggs to perfection, and was a good range of cereals, pastries. All in all a very good stay and hope to go back Thank you Montcalm East 🙂

I would recommend this hotel, especially because the rooms are spacious compared to other hotels in the same price range. Check-in was smooth even with a late arrival, which was a relief. Pros: • Spacious rooms • Clean and well-maintained property • Convenient location with nice views • No issues with late check-in Cons: • Long wait times at the front desk due to only one staff member handling check-ins and other requests • No slippers provided in the rooms

Bloomsbury London|1.72km from city centre
The room and overall facilities felt quite dated. My window unfortunately overlooked a refuse collection point, and I was often disturbed by the noise and beeping of garbage trucks early in the mornings. Cleanliness was only average. The main redeeming factor is definitely the location, which is fantastic for tourists. It's just a 3-minute walk to Russell Square tube station. There's also a convenience store and a vibrant street with plenty of dining options, including a Nando's, right nearby.

Really cute hotel! Perfect for weekend trips and the warm cookie on arrival was great. The only issue is transport, you have to get a bus and then walk when you get to rotherhite station - but uber boat is an option. Staff were super helpful even though it was busy.

Waterloo and Southwark London|1.01km from city centre
The hotel's location is fantastic, right by Westminster Bridge. Directly across the street is the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel, which I imagine has even better window views. Our 7th-floor room offered glimpses of the train station and The Shard. However, the 2nd-floor rooms did have a bit of an odd smell. The hotel gets quite busy, so expect queues for breakfast and the elevators. It's wise to avoid peak dining times. The breakfast itself was good!

Waterloo and Southwark London|1.02km from city centre
Let's start with the positives: The hotel is located at the south end of Westminster Bridge, about a 6-7 minute walk from Waterloo Underground Station. From the room, you can see the London Eye and City Hall. This hotel is perfect for families, as its one-bedroom king suite is approximately 40 square meters and features a separate living/sleeping area. Upon entering, there's a sofa bed, and further inside is the king bed, with separate TVs in both areas. This setup can comfortably accommodate two adults and two children, with a bathroom in the middle. It feels spacious even with more people, and there's plenty of room for luggage. I was pleasantly surprised to find a microwave in the room. Now, for the downsides: Housekeeping service is quite basic; daily cleaning only involves emptying trash, changing towels, and making the bed. They occasionally even forgot to clean. Before check-in, I received an email stating we could get a complimentary bottle of wine if we opted out of housekeeping, but no one offered it proactively when we checked in. The hotel's breakfast is extremely repetitive; not a single dish changes daily, making it very monotonous. It's the same baked beans, sausages, and roasted tomatoes every single day... After an 8-day stay, we were thoroughly fed up with it. However, if you don't eat breakfast there, your options outside are mostly just sandwiches. The hotel does not proactively provide toothpaste, toothbrushes, or slippers. You have to ask the front desk at check-in or call from your room to request them.

Absolutely loved the location and will definitely return. The service and attention to detail from the reception team especially is 10/10. Certain areas of the hotel need refurbishing - even if just a lick of paint for now as they aren't in line with the rest of the hotel. The room was small but practical and unfortunately didn't have the best of views but that's not an issue. I felt comfortable and safe during my stay. Had a minor issue with the air con unit which is very dated and didn't match the aesthetic of a modern and refurbished room which looks very appealing. Overall, would be very happy to visit again especially during the summer and try out their dinner menu.

London|4.4km from city centre
Convenient location, about 5-7 min walk from High Street Kensington Tube Station. A good range of shops nearby such as TK Maxx, M&S, Whole Foods Market, cafés and restaurants (Italian, Chinese, Japanese, etc) We were on 10/F so had an amazing view.  Our room was spacious, bigger than most hotel rooms in London. It came with complimentary hot chocolate powder, cookies, tea bags, instant coffee and 2 bottles of still water. The bathroom was equipped with toiletries (shampoo, hair conditioner, bath gel and soap) and a heated towel rack which was particularly helpful for doing laundry, since we stayed for 7 nights.  Gym is free of charge and is right next to the hotel. Size is decent with 4 treadmills, dumbbells and a few other machines.  Staff were all very attentive and professional. My husband had a small cut and housekeeping brought us plasters and wound cleaning wipes in just a few min.  Overall, great value for money. Would have been even better if a coffee machine was provided. Will definitely come back again next time we visit London.

Hotel was very nice and the staff were helpful and polite. Lovely location and modern vibe. Just a few downfalls during our stay, was that the steam room was not working in the spa. And we were quite surprised to have received a £6 ‘Tray charge’ for ordering a portion of fries for room service that were only £7.50.. we essentially paid £13.50 for a portion of fries!! Other than those minor-ish points, a lovely stay and would consider returning.
