As one of London's most notable hotels, The Montcalm at The Brewery London City is essentially the spot to be in London. Positioned in the very heart of the city of London, The Montcalm at The Brewery London City is a five star hotel set within an historic listed building and comes complete with its very own gourmet gastropub, The Jugged Hare. Formerly the site of Whitbread & Co, Britain's first purpose-built mass production brewery, the original building dates back from as early at 1750 when Samuel Whitbread moved his brewing operations to Chiswell Street on the 'eastern rim of Georgian London,' now the fashionable Barbican. With state-of-the-art business conference facilities plus excellent transport links - the hotel is conveniently located close to three Underground stations - The Montcalm at The Brewery London City makes the perfect meeting venue, accommodating from 2 up to 150 delegates. And of course it offers luxurious suites, deluxe studios and City or Club rooms as well as acclaimed English cuisine at the Chiswell Street Dining Rooms.

Stayed here as I was attending a work meeting. Hotel is ok but no where near the 5 stars they claim to be. Room was tired with ripped wallpaper. Bedding was 2 star, bed hard lumpy and uncomfortable. Room had a musty unclean smell, bathroom bin broken, marks on curtains, toilet not cleaned properly, smell of sewage in corridors. Very noisy from street and people in the hotel. Wasn't told where to go for breakfast when checking in and Room service options were awful. If I had booked and paid for this hotel myself I would be looking for a refund.

Staff was very helpful, timely and kind. Room space was finally normal. Most london hotel rooms are tiny. Very comfortable rain shower and calm environment. Location is great and elevators are available. There some stairs to take with your luggage for certain rooms though. I am sure you could get help if needed.

The greeting was warm and inviting. As the room wasn't ready and we were early we were offered tea/coffee while we waited. Features of the old building are visible with cast iron elements and much exposed brick features in the building. The bedroom was modern with all the usual additions. Having booked the Club level the facilities were across the covered way in one of the adapted buildings with its own staff and service providing evening drinks and nibbles as well as a light breakfast. The hotel is adjacent to to an attractive events centre with a magnificent cast iron staircase and a large event space.

I picked this hotel as it was a convenient location for my work trip. The entrance is a bit faded looking as is the room. I was in a club room but was not advised that I had access to the club lounge - maybe I didn’t who knows- and wasn’t told where I needed to go for breakfast. It turned out that was in the club room, continental only ( not made clear on booking) but was nice with a good selection including smoked salmon and avocado . The hotel is a bit of a rabbit warren and the tiny gym was almost impossible to find. Like most things here it’s the small details that let it down - no water available although lots of empty bottles, pencil to sign in was blunt and unusable. It’s a bit like the room, the bed was comfortable but no robe, fruit or minibar as promised. It’s a decent enough hotel and I’d stay here again for the location but they either need to change their website to accurately reflect what they offer ( and perhaps lose that undeserved 5th star) or deliver what they promised and train up front of desk to provide all the information needed. Big shout out to the lovely gentleman concierge who directed me to the gym in the end !

A pleasant one night stay, made all the better by Daniela thanks to her professionalism and hospitality, who went over and above to make sure my stay was enjoyable. The club lounge was nice and relaxing, worth the little extra to have access in.

We came here for our Christmas break! It was a lovely hotel, room was small but cosy. Bed was lovely and comfy. The downfall was that the room was absolutely freezing, with no heating, and the floor in the bathroom was stone. If there hadn’t been robes and slippers provided it would not have been an enjoyable stay. Quite a walk to get to transport!

Lovely rooms/building, super handy location. Rooms are well kept and are well stocked for toiletries. The staff at the front desk were very helpful with late night requests, kudos especially to Alock for his superb customer service skills!

The service from the front of the house, Alock, Juliana, and Carina was fantastic. They were very friendly and made sure we had a great stay. They also made sure we were allocated to a room with perfect decorations as requested for our special occasion. I highly recommend staying at The Montcalm !!!
