I stay at Montcalm East regularly and I find it a fantastic hotel close to my work in Bank area and Shoreditch for the night life. The staff are excellent and I hate to single people out but Imran who manages in the bar area is fantastic! I always get a great welcome when I arrive, he is always smiling and chatting despite being busy and always makes me, and others, feel special! Great guy and fantastic ambassador for Montcalm East and a role model for any aspiring hospitality individual 👏👏👏
