Loved by The Lalit London Hotel guests
"The lovely old fashioned looking rooms generally feel decadent and sumptuous with so many free nibbles and toiletries."
"This was a wonderful stay at a very character full hotel. A beautifully repurposed grade two listed school building ."
"The bathroom had a walk in shower rather than a bath tub and the high tech "Japanese toilet" always has a warm seat!"

“In my opinion, this hotel successfully merges historical charm with modern luxury, particularly evident in its thoughtful renovation of a former grammar school, now featuring unique Indian architectural details. The location near Tower Bridge is exceptional, complemented by award-winning Indian cuisine and a signature spa, Rejuve. I think it stands out for its personalized service and distinctive culinary experiences.”

adequate stay, some disappointments
convenient locationnoisy roomlack of privacy
the location is convenient for accessing tower bridge. the building itself has an interesting design.
the room i booked, a cosy classroom, was not as expected. noise was a problem, i could clearly hear footsteps above me and what sounded like a bath being filled late at night. the proximity to a nearby building meant i had to keep the curtains drawn for privacy.

I just loved the free soft drink minibar and also that they had a kettle and coffee machine for the mornings. The shower was amazing! the attractive decor of the room added to the experience. i especially appreciated how quiet it was!
The cleaning took forever. It really was like it dragged on as the cleaning staff started, took the bottles, and then there was so much chatting for hours!
