5.0/10

Staying at Montcalm Brewery was an enjoyable experience overall, with the charm of a historic building paired with comfortable amenities. The staff were really good and attentive, however, the dated windows posed some issues with temperature and noise insulation. My room was well-equipped, but a few minor maintenance hiccups arose that needed attention. Still, I'd gladly return for the warm atmosphere and central location.

Rooms

8.0

My room was spacious and equipped with modern amenities like a flat-screen TV and a mini bar. However, the windows let in drafts and noise from outside, which was a bit bothersome, especially during the snowstorm. A couple of minor repairs like a blocked sink were addressed quickly, but for the price, I expected a bit more comfort without these issues.

Service

10.0

The service was commendable, with friendly and attentive staff like Alexandru and Vlad making my stay particularly nice. They went out of their way to assist with requests and provide recommendations, which truly enhanced my experience.

Location

The hotel is ideally situated in the heart of London, close to attractions like the Barbican Center. It made it convenient to explore the city and find some cute local coffee shops. Just keep in mind that navigating the winding paths of this historic building can be a bit tricky!

Dining

I enjoyed breakfast at The Jugged Hare, with a good selection that included a hearty full English. The atmosphere was pleasant, but at £25 per person, it felt a touch on the pricey side. Still, the food quality was impressive and worth the visit.

Facilities

Facilities like the gym and room service were standard for a luxury hotel. I appreciated the fast and reliable Wi-Fi, which is essential for any business stay. However, I did notice the need for updates in certain areas, especially concerning some older furnishings.

I had a wonderful stay at Montcalm Brewery, where the staff truly made the experience special. The personalized touches for our wedding anniversary were good, including a handwritten note and chocolates. However, I found the breakfast lacking, as it didn't meet the expectations of a 5-star hotel. Overall, the charm of the hotel and its fantastic service made up for these shortcomings.
