Our room was immaculately clean. The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive (the impression was that they really care about their guests experience). Relaxing in the leopard bar and listening to the jazz saxophonist while watching the bar staff make cocktails was like stepping back in time. The hotel is ideally situated near many interesting places to visit.

The Montague on the Gardens was simply wonderful from start to finish. From the greetings (and assistance with our luggage) when we arrived to afternoon tea, many hours spent in the Leopard (Cougar) bar sipping delicious cocktails, and a clean, comfortable room with robes, slippers and a turn-down service, to arranging cabs for our departure, the staff were welcoming, accommodating, knowledgeable and attentive. And, the location is unbeatable. Literally next door to the British Museum and steps from Covent Garden, Chinatown, the West End and the tube, the Montague on the Gardens offers amazing access to everything London has to offer.

Lovely hotel which is very close to both Russell Sq underground, and British Museum which made it most convenient for our itinerary. The room was small and lighting was a bit confusing to figure out - minor issues. The hotel staff were great, the English Breakfast a great start to each morning, and the Leopard Bar a gray end to each day. Cleanliness was top notch which was a big plus for me. Would definitely recommend!

The bed was the most comfortable bed I have slept in with a cozy duvet and comfortable pillows. However, the room was very tiny for the price. I had no extra space to place my suitcase and could not easily get around to the other side of the bed because of where I had to place it so I could open it. There was one bottle of milk for my coffee upon arrival, but after that, I was told to ask the supervisor. There was no fridge (again, considering the price of the room), so I could not store any food. There was only one pack of coffee in the room. I had to ask for more. The concierge forgot my wakeup call for a morning when it was important I get up early. Yes, I could have used my phone alarm. However, he forgot. I could adjust the room temperature easily. Sometimes the concierges seemed not too interested in helping. Other times, like the morning I left, they were both very helpful.

Rooms are very high quality, although small. The windows have two panes, which blocks cold, moisture, and noise, and the heating/cooling system is nearly silent, so the rooms are very comfortable and quiet. The bed was soft with luxurious linens. Between these things, we slept very well. All that said, the most notable aspect of the hotel was the service we received. For example, we arrived about 15 minutes past check-time, but our room wasn't ready yet. So, they offered us tea, coffee, or something from the bar while we waited. We asked for tea, and they brought each of my wife and I an entire pot! After another 15 minutes, they told us the room was ready, and when we went up, our bags were already there! We felt like royalty all during our entirely too short stay.

A nice old fashioned hotel with a doorman, deep seats in the lobby, and an old timey bar. Modernized attractive bathroom. Housekeeping seems a bit spaced out but mostly fine, and the bar and restaurant play terrible music, except when there is rather nice live jazz. A little taken aback by the £15 daily “optional” service charge, aka tip for the staff. I’m happy for the staff to be well compensated, but would prefer to have a higher room charge, outright, than have this added on.

The hotel tried charging us an undisclosed fee of 15 pounds per night (x4). I protested and tipped the maid separately. The room we got was very small and the single window faced directly into a brick wall. Not very elegant for a hotel that was considerably more expensive than other options. The condition of the room can best be described bed as faded glory (and with a hole in the floor under the carpeting at the foot of the bed). Great location.

This is my London hotel!
