Nice place, good facilities, warm friendly staff.
Pros:

Location and the breakfast were good. Staff were also friendly and warm.

Cons:

They seemed to have a server problem on the two days we were there and the keys accessing the rooms and lifts didn’t work most of the time. This made our life difficult and we had to go back to the Reception to get keys changed at least half a dozen times in the two days we were there

Dear Guest Relations Team,

I am writing to make a formal complaint regarding my stay at Montcalm East, Autograph Collection. My stay was in Room 1606, and the reservation was made through Booking.com.

When my girlfriend and I arrived to check in at approximately 6:00pm yesterday, there were extremely long queues, which I appreciate can happen. However, while waiting, I overheard several guests saying they had been waiting over three hours for their rooms due to issues with your booking system.

Once I finally reached reception, the service I received was extremely poor. I was left standing for around five minutes without any acknowledgement, no greeting, no request for my name, and no explanation of the issues causing the delays. When I asked whether I would actually receive my room, I was told there would be a further 15–20 minute wait. Given what I had already heard from other guests, I simply sought reassurance, yet the receptionist responded rudely and even threatened to cancel my reservation. This was completely unacceptable.

Thankfully, another member of your reception team, a lady whose name I unfortunately did not catch, stepped in. She was polite, apologetic and efficient, and managed to resolve the situation quickly. She was the only positive aspect of what was otherwise an extremely poor check-in experience.

Unfortunately, the problems did not end there. Upon entering our room, we found the air conditioning was not working. On one of the hottest days of the year, with temperatures around 35°C in London, the room was unbearably hot and almost the same temperature as outside. At checkout this morning, I also heard other guests reporting exactly the same issue, suggesting this was not an isolated incident.

The most concerning issue, however, occurred at approximately 2:00am, when another guest entered Room 1606 while my girlfriend and I were asleep. This is an entirely unacceptable breach of guest safety and security.
