Our stay at the Montcalm East was amazing! We went for two rare child free nights over the weekend.
The trip from Waterloo was fairly straightforward and the walk from the tube was very easy.
We got there early on the Friday and were offered a refreshing drink and biscuits whilst we checked in. The room wasn’t yet ready but they took details to let us know when it was and were more than happy to keep our bags.
We sat in reception for a bit and were offered another complimentary drink (of Prosecco or fizz).
We did indeed get a call when the room was ready :) when we got back we collected our room keys and went up to the room were the concierge bought up our luggage. The room was a lovely size with plenty of lights, a nice size tv, air con, underfloor heating, a mini fridge and a well equipped bathroom. The cleaning request and do not disturb are digital signs controlled from in your room so no accidentally knocking them off either.
When we went out for the evening a note had been popped under the door saying there was something at reception for us. It was bought up whilst we were out and we were delighted to find a gift bag with some lovely goodies when we got back.
Breakfast was lovely. It wasn’t loud or overcrowded and the food was regularly replenished. As well as the hot and continental buffet you could each choose an item from the à la carte menu. There was a decent choice and the food was prepared quickly and very well.
We were also celebrating a medical milestone and our engagement and Hashi the assistant guest experience manager was very helpful in making the weekend special. Whilst we were out the following night she’d arranged to have the room beautifully decorated. We were both over the moon with it in our return! Special thank you to Prince and Monika who spent the time decorating it :)
All the staff were lovely and very friendly and accommodating. The swimming pool was lovely and had a calming atmosphere.
The only thing that would’ve made the trip better (as someone who weight trains regularly) would have been a better equipped gym. Like most it was mostly treadmills with the odd cable set dotted about ( I think a total of 3/4 machines) and there wasn’t a great selection of free weights either.

Beautiful 5 star hotel

The facilities were of the highest standard and easily accessible location.
Very little to not like, nothing stood out that I’d raise as a concern.

The breakfast was lovely. The spa facilities were great and very relaxing. And the room had a great shower. Angelica was very sweet, she went over and beyond.
I was disappointed with certain aspects of our stay, particularly the cleanliness and guest experience, as we were celebrating my friend's 34th birthday and me passing my driving test.
The standard of cleanliness was unacceptable. Several towels and flannels had visible black and brown stains, and some even had hair on them. When I requested four replacement towels, only two were delivered. Despite also requesting fresh flannels, these had still not been replaced when we returned from the spa two hours later. This was extremely disappointing and fell well below the hygiene standards I would expect.
I was also disappointed with the celebratory arrangements compared with my previous stay two months ago, when I received a beautiful welcome basket, Prosecco, a flower and a thoughtful personalised card. Having informed the hotel of our two special occasions, I had hoped my friend would receive a similarly thoughtful experience. Unfortunately, the refreshments and personal touches were noticeably less impressive, and there was no acknowledgement of my driving test achievement.
I genuinely appreciated the lovely balloons and flower petals on the bed, which were a beautiful touch. However, the overall experience lacked the same attention to detail and personalised service that made my previous visit so memorable. I had hoped to recreate that special experience for my friend, so I left feeling slightly disappointed.
The room service pizza was also disappointing. Too much cheese that’s not cooked properly, despite requesting for it to be cooked well done.
