All in all it was good. But in daylight the room and furniture looked a bit jaded. The bed was comfortable, and the pillows and linen excellent. The bathroom was good. But parts of it needed maintenance. Reception and check in is across the road at the Montcalm Brewery. Would i stay at The Barbican Rooms again? Yes.

This hotel is in the best location for the Barbican and has a historic charm to the building. Our room had a few broken tiles in the bathroom which were a danger and the laminate on the bathroom furniture was peeling and in need of being replaced. Staff were all so very good

A convenient stay when visiting the Barbican
We were upgraded to a club room. The room was a bit tired, and there was a musky smell in the room and corridor. The room was quiet, which is important to me.

Lovely staff, room was less than expected
The staff were lovely and made us feel very welcome, the room was nicely cleaned and prepared. However, the room had a broken charging port, some light switches weren’t working and the bathroom didn’t have much ventilation. There was also a fire alarm at 2:30 in the morning which seemed to be an accident.

Adequate stay
Entry is via the brewery gates, reception staff were lovely, I was taken to my room right above the pub on the corner. I was worried about noise levels but this wasn't an issue. The room was very cold, the air con was on 26 but seemed to blow out cold air. I experimented with it, even turning it off but it never improved. So much so I was either under the duvet or in the bathroom with the underfloor heating and I generally don't feel the cold. Room was very large but very dated furniture - not 5 star

Was Fine
Check in for the Barbican Rooms is across the street in the Montcalm Brewary. And I was actually put in the Brewary which was fine. Average stay. Did what it needed for 1 night business trip. Was a bit tired and dated but was clean and staff were friendly. I never visited restaurant or gym so cant comment.

Great location and friendly staff. The room and bathroom were a really good size however I think that they placed us in a room at Montcalm The Brewery, rather than at the Barbican rooms. The only thing I will say is that we were on the bottom floor and there was no blind on the bathroom window. Even though it was frosted glass, it still didn’t feel completely private! Other than that we had a good stay.

I booked a room at the Barbican Rooms but when I arrived was directed to a room in the group's other hotel The Montcalm at the Brewery. The ataff were welcoming and pleasant but the room was small and slightly shabby and had a broken loo seat, noisy air conditioning and dirty grouting in the bathroom. It served my purposes as a ladt minute place to sleep and shower the next day but I wouldn't recommend it, particularly if paying the standard rates.

We were asked to check in over the road at the Montcalm Brewery hotel Andi stead of bring taken to Barbican Rooms we were taken to a room in the Montcalm with no explanation. We moved room once due to noise. Staff were helpful. Huwver this was not the hotel we booked, it was cheaper and less well reviewed and we wouldn't have chosen to stay there. I raised the issue with hotels.com on the day but they said as they were unable to get through to Barbican rooms on the phone they wouldn't be doing anything about it. Really disappointing.

My stay at the Barbican Rooms made London a breeze. The location was a quick walk from the Elizabeth line so arriving from the airport was easy. Plus it is central to many other transportation. The staff upon arriving and all throughout the stay were welcoming and attentive. The room clean and equipped with everything down to shoe shining cloth and slippers. Now the BED! Very comfortable and soft pillows. I recommend and plan to return when I visit London again.

Good location and service, dated amenities
Overall the service and location are great! The room i had didn’t have an operational AC which was terrible timing as there was a heatwave in London. They did inspect it and brought us a fan so that helped a bit. Hotel was rather dated but the rooms were clean and staff were nice. I’d give it 4 out of 5 stars.

The location of this hotel is the only standout quality. The concierage staff was top notch, but overall staff was average, nothing extraordinary nor as welcoming. As far as the room went, it was probably the worst room we've ever stayed in. Im not sure how or why this property is claiming to be five-star. I've stayed in better 3 star hotels infinitely better than this one. The room itself was not clean, we found random crap under the bed, glasses left with dust. The bathroom itself had missing tile on the wall, all faucets looking like they're about the fall off the wall, and a broken bathroom tile, which led to a ripped sock and a cut on the foot. We chose not to raise raise our concerns during our stay was it was a short 3 night stay and was booked thru a third party(expedia) so we just dealt with it. But the lovely blonde woman at checkout was great and was geniune to hear our concerns and feedback. We appreciate the onduty hotel manager who took our concerns. Im truly confused how this hotel claims to be a luxury hotel. I hope the feedback given can help improve the property because it has a lot of potential. Sadly, despite offers to return on our next visit, we will not be returning nor recommending this hotel.
