My second stay at this hotel showed declining standards. My scores reflect the service received from management and are not reflective of the front of house staff, who are very friendly and well-trained. However, maintenance issues resulted in a disappointing stay.
We were informed of the faulty air conditioning on arrival. This made our sleep uncomfortable, but we understand these things happen.
The fridge in the room didn't work. The shower was scaled up, and the mattress was uncomfortable, which also added to the discomfort.
Breakfast was plentiful, but hot food was not hot, and was unpleasant. None of these issues had been there during my previous stay in April.

On departure, I informed reception that we had issues during our stay. I was told that the management would be in touch by email. 10 days later, the only correspondence had been about completing a survey, saying that feedback is important. I find this to be disappointing service from the management.

This is our second stay here and unfortunately it will be the last. Lights in bathroom not working, maintenance told us the bulbs would be arriving in a week’s time. Air conditioning was utterly useless. Staff gave us a fan, which was just as bad. The tap in the bathroom was barely a trickle. The fridge did not work at all. We left water in it for 2 days which came out warm! Woken on our 1st night by very loud men outside our room dragging barrels across the floor at 4am. Followed by the emptying of the recycling bins for almost an hour. Along with them shouting extremely loudly.

Tried to check-in at 14:55 and room not ready, pointed me to the bar and come back in 15 mins. Room was OK, was a Club room but not working A/C which was a big problem, `nice tall fan in the room so they knew the A/C wasn't working which when its 25C out side not comfortable especially when paying nearly £190 a night !

On top of that in the room working on a call till 11:30, OK'd a 'late' checkout at 11:30 but door opened twice and a phone call at 11:20 to ask if I was leaving !!
I have never had that in a hotel. Yes if it was 12 or later chase me...

Other than that breakfast was really nice and condition of the rooms and hotel was good and room service was very prompt and nice.

I won’t stay here again. Air conditioning was not working and when I arrived there was no more fans available. So I just had to bake.

Particularly unfortunate as it was one of the hottest days of the year so I got barely any sleep. Not acceptable when paying 300GBP per night.

Bed linen was dirty, room was awful location and hot and noisy the 50 deposit usually takes 2-3 weeks to refund despite promises. Management never contacted me despite promises made by receptionist. Have stayed here 4 times this was by the far the worst and despite closeness to office will never stay again . Sorry but for a 4 star hotel charging 250 a night plus this was awful. Only thing that was good, as always, is breakfast

No air conditioning at all and was not made aware of that prior to the stay despite staying while there was a heatwave. Despite knowing this the property did not equip rooms with at least fans and you had to call down to get one. It was a very unpleasant evening.

The hotel is nice overall, close walk to London Underground. Breakfast was ok, nothing special, you have to order eggs separately. Air conditioners broke twice over 4 days we have been there and you can’t open the windows. There was some type of maintenance going on early each morning with very loud sounds in the courtyard.

There is no doubt that this is a beautiful hotel in a great location. However I do not believe the room could be described as a double deluxe, and our stay was spoiled by a problem with the hotels air conditioning and the way it was dealt with by the staff. When we checked in, we got to our room to find that the temperature was very warm. We turned it down with the air con unit on the wall but nothing changed. I rang down to reception to advise them, only to be told that there was a problem with the air con in some rooms which they were already aware of. They advised that we could have a different room for our second night but there were no available rooms until then and all their sister hotels were fully booked. We checked ourselves and there were no suitable hotels for under £300. We’d paid approx. £240 per night and couldn’t stay in our room as it was too uncomfortable. Eventually a cooling unit was delivered to our room which just made it bearable to get some sleep but we didn’t have the good nights sleep which we wanted as we had a long hot day ahead of us at a Finsbury Park concert. We were moved on the second day to a suitable room but by then, the damage was done and we were advised that the hotel had reimbursed 30% of the daily room rate for the inconvenience which is really poor practice as there is then no attempt to reconcile to the customers satisfaction. In our view they should have refunded 100% as we did not get the room or experience we paid for.

We arrived & initially panicked as we were told that they could not accommodate us due to a maintenance issue. However, we were upgraded to the sister hotel 10mins away with better facilities (pool, sauna etc) & had a free breakfast thrown in for the inconvenience of the walk there. Customer service at its best. We had a fabulous stay in the other hotel. I have booked again for next year.

On checking in our air conditioning didn’t work. We were told maintenance would come and fix it although they already knew there was a big problem with the external units. They tried to suggest we could use fans, it was 27 degrees outside and who knows what it was in the room. We went to reception and again was told maintenance would look at it. It was our 30th wedding anniversary and we were left waiting in reception for 40 minutes. I then went to the desk again and said I wanted another room and we got downgraded. We were offered no compensation. We never met the manager and when I got home I complained to the hotel chain. All I got was an apology no compensation, no offer of a free stay absolutely nothing. Very poor customer service.

The staff were very helpful. The room and bed were very comfortable and the air conditioning was very much appreciated in the extremely hot heatwave. The bathroom was very large. The shower was very good. The only negative point was the wash basin in the bathroom was tiny. In view of the large size of the bathroom a much larger wsh basin could easily have been installed.

I've stayed here previously and enjoyed the dated but quirky layout of the hotel as the location suits. It should be noted that the air conditioning system does not work. I was with 3 colleagues in different parts of the hotels and we all had the same experience. If traveling during the summer, be warned.

Check-in was straightforward and friendly, albeit with a slight delay, whilst I was upgraded from a single room to a double.
Unfortunately, that was where the good points ended!!
The accessible room was *very* poorly maintained.
The air-con, fridge and kettle did not work. Other guests were also commenting on non-functioning air-con and drips/leaks in their room as I checked-out.
Neither of the two soap dispensers in the bathroom worked; I had to wash myself with shampoo - hardly the end of the world, I know, but that is not the point.
There was a light not working in the bathroom.
The window did not close properly, which meant the noise from the bar outside/below the room was very audible in the room. This room needs a secondary glazing of some kind.
The rainfall showerhead was badly in need of descaling, spurting water in all directions and even leaking the ceiling-space above the shower. I don’t think the wobbly shower seat would be much use to anyone who needed to use it either.
To be fair to the staff, on checkout they swiftly brought in a manager who offered me a 50% refund through Hotels.com - which I wasn’t convinced I would see. However, within hours, a 39% refund was applied to my credit card. This equates to 46% refund on the non-tax element of the fee.
Can I be bothered to contest this…? No.

A thoroughly unsatisfactory stay and I am not likely to recommend.

Positives, it was clean. Struggling for any others, 2 single beds pushed together with individual quilts. Paid for a club room but it had none of the facilities. If you are out in London and back after 11 don't expect to be able to get drink anywhere.
No information given on where things were or even times of food or the fact the bar shuts very early. Very disappointed

Extremely nice place to stay within walking distance of Liverpool Street station. Superb staff and welcoming reception area with places to chill. Our room was very spacious with everything you would need for a short stay. Felt like we got a lot more quality than we expected for the price. Extremely comfortable bed and for a big hotel with lots of rooms there was zero noise at night giving a great nights sleep. We would rather stay here and do the short trip into central London by cab bus or tube than stay in a very small room for a lot more money.

We arrived at the hotel, having confirmed over the phone twice we had a twin. At front desk they confirmed it was a twin, we got to our room and it was a double. We went down to reception and they said they could not help us, even when we asked for a camp bed or just some bedding to sleep on the floor. After 45 minuets they got us a camp bed but then we were told the air con was broken and all the fans had been given away (it was 27 degrees). There several people had the same issue. We went downstairs and the night porter agreed to give us a refund as an adult over 6ft could not stay on a Childs camp bed with no air con. We left the hotel and booked and stayed at another hotel. We have emailed twice and are yet to receive a refund.

Avoid. One of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had.

I arrived on a day where temperatures had been above 30°C and was shown to a room that was unbearably hot. When I queried the air conditioning, staff initially acted as though they were unaware there was an issue, which quickly became difficult to believe.

The response was essentially that there was nothing they could do. A member of staff then radioed maintenance in front of me and advised that if I wanted to take the matter any further, I would need to return to reception myself. When I later called, the attitude became dismissive and unnecessarily confrontational.

I asked if I could be moved to another room and was told no. At that point, my only option was to request a refund and book another hotel elsewhere.

What makes this even more disappointing is that I stayed here over 10 years ago and had a poor experience then too: dirty bed sheets, windows that let in every bit of street noise, and a member of staff walking into the room while my girlfriend was getting changed. I left that stay saying I’d never return.

Unfortunately, I ignored my own advice and gave the hotel a second chance. Ten years later, I wish I hadn’t.

The hotel is brilliantly placed for Moorgate and central London.

The first time I booked they sent me to their sister hotel which I was unimpressed about as I had pre booked dinner in the pub next door.

I came for a second attempt. My mistake I know but I left a wallet in my room. Instead of simply posting it they messed me around a few times to book my own courier and even then DPD couldn’t collect it.

It is service that sets hotels apart and this was a second disappointment.

Maybe they just don’t like Expedia bookings.

I had a one-night stay for a business trip. This is a lovely hotel with extremely helpful and friendly staff. The breakfast was deliciious with a good variety of offerings but buffet or from the kitchen. Unfortunately the room was not what I would expect of a 5 star hotel. It was adequate but nothing special and the in room amentities along with electrical ports etc let the experience down. The natural lighting in the room was poor and I was woken to the noise of crates of bottles being moved in the early hours of the morning outside.

I’ve stayed at this hotel before and had a great experience, which is why I returned. However, this stay was extremely disappointing and not reflective of a five-star standard.
We booked a Montcalm King room, but the first room felt like a basic double, so we requested a change. The second room was slightly larger but very dated and worn, which was not what we paid for.
Several advertised features didn’t work. The music/speaker system was non-functional, the TV wasn’t working properly, and I couldn’t connect my Fire TV. This left us with very limited entertainment, resulting in a disappointing and uneventful evening.
Given the price point, this was unacceptable. It felt like we were placed in an older, unrefurbished part of the hotel that does not match the standard being advertised.
While the staff were polite and professional, the overall experience fell far below expectations and unfortunately impacted what was meant to be a special occasion , my partner’s birthday.
I was asked about my stay at checkout but was too disappointed to address it properly at the time. I would appreciate this being reviewed, as the experience did not reflect the price paid or the hotel’s usual standard.

This is my hotel of choice in London, mainly due to its location in the City and the excellent customer relations and staff. Being a converted historical property the hotel has a unique character and the rooms vary in size and style. The rooms are clean and any problems there may be with the room facilities are soon sorted by the very attentive staff. The hotel serves a first class breakfast and there are many great restaurants and coffee shops in the vicinity. The most pleasing thing about staying at the hotel is without doubt the staff who are, in my experience, the best in London - all well trained, knowledgeable, friendly and dedicated to making their guests stays a pleasing and memorable experience.

Staff were efficient in main hotel. Not sure this hotel should be described as 5 star. Room was small but adequate for 1 night. Fire alarm went off twice in the night - 12am and 3am!!! No proper answer on why. Breakfast service very slow. No residents lounge or bar in hotel itself which is a shame. Reception directed us to pub bar joined to hotel. That bar is also open to public and was packed with hardly any seating in bar area.

Due to its location I have stayed at the hotel several times with varying degrees of satisfaction. Due to the nature of the converted building the rooms and bathrooms are all configured and furnished differently and so it is luck of the draw getting a room that meets all of ones preferences. In my experience the rooms are also getting rather tired and there is always some defect present. On this occasion the lighting in the room was very poor and the lightbulb in the hallway was not working making the entrance very dark. The door lock did not work. The water temperature in the shower was difficult to control and one day it was impossible to obtain hot water. The room was also very cold as I could not get the heating system to work. Rather than guests having to constantly complain and request maintenance to visit, it would be better if rooms were throughly checked for defects before being let to guests.

Firstly, the welcome at reception from the staff was very friendly and efficient! Check-in was around 2 minutes. The ambience was very welcoming and the smell was beautiful! I forgot to ask what fragrance they were using for the reception area! 🙄 I would love this for my home X
The room was very nice and the bed was so comfy. The only thing I would say is the coffee choice in the room could've been better, rather than just Nescafé sachets, maybe some nicer coffee bags or even a coffee pod machine would be great.
The hotel is located in a lovely area and is nice and quiet on an evening, and even quieter in a morning for London haha!
Overall, I would highly recommended this hotel!

Room 236 ruined my stay. Loud generator noise, rattling AC and no USB sockets meant no sleep before a day of meetings.
I checked in late after travelling for business. Check-in was smooth and the concierge was great, but the room itself was a real disappointment. Room 236 is across a courtyard, through a back door and up to the second floor. Inside, the two small windows had reflective glass and were held shut with a metal bracket. They weren’t soundproof, and the constant noise from a generator outside filled the room.

The air-conditioning unit rattled all night, so between that and the generator, sleep was almost impossible. There were also no USB sockets, meaning I couldn’t charge my phone overnight, which caused avoidable issues the next day during meetings.

When I checked out, I reported everything, but was asked why I didn’t mention it during the night. Given the late arrival and an early start, I just tried to sleep. My concern is that rooms are cleaned daily, so staff would have known about these problems before I arrived. It feels like poor management to hand over a room in that condition, especially to someone travelling for work.

This stay left me tired, inconvenienced and frustrated. Travellers should be aware of Room 236, and I truly hope management takes this feedback seriously and reaches out, as this experience isn’t what anyone expects from a hotel of this standard.

Room was nice enough, if a little tired and dark (looked nothing like photos on website though!). However, it was an absolutely freezing - maybe 16 degrees at best - notwithstanding the thermostat being set to 26 degrees. Single glazed windows on a cold day meant tons of noice (including overnight) and, of course, cold room. But more fundamentally, there just appeared to be no heating in the room. Not what I wanted when I returned from a dinner late at night. Was told on check out the manager would investigate and contact me but no contact made. Person in front of me at check out was also complaining of same issue... Not what you expect from a relatively expensive hotel in London.
