    I thought I had booked a room in the main hotel but ended up in an apartment across the street

    The staff were very helpful and efficient

    Night lights in the room couldn't be turned off which wasn't great

    Early check in was much appreciated. Room was large and comfortable and very quiet considering this is in central London.

    The room furniture is tired and worn. Needs updating.

    Lovely staff and service. The room was a good size and very clean. Just a little dated and needs a bit of updating. The mattress was very soft. Value for money is great. Easy to find and close to the tube.

    The townhouse was okay, decoration looked a bit worn, and there were a few tears in the wallpaper. I'm not sure our room really worked with no door on the main bedroom and when our children went to bed in the main room, we had to switch off the lights so we didn't disturb them and the sink in the main room confused us as well. We have stayed at Montecalm before but we are not sure we would stay in the townhouse room again.

    Great location as we were at an event at the Barbican, but it's a stones throw away from St.Pauls, the Thames, central London, and more. Staff are very helpful and were caring, especially to the children.

    When we came for breakfast on Sunday there was a queue and when we finally got invited, we could not find a free table for two persons and had to join strangers until one of the neighbouring tables got free. The fitness room could be bigger and beter equipped.

    Everything was good, however we lived in a separate building, so in order to visit reception, breakfast, fitness room... we had to cross the street. It was not convenient or comfortable.
