The Montague On The Gardens

Stayed at the Montague for 5 nights before xmas to celebrate anniversary. Great hotel and literally the most thoughtful service we have ever had. We received numerous gifts and personally signed notes from the manager and staff. The location cannot be beat. The bars and lounge are wonderful places to hang out and the food was excellent. Being a Georgian building the rooms are small and the floors creaky, but the king bed was excellent, the bathroom fine, and a nice big flat screen. Only had two quibbles with this excellent choice for a Bloomsbury hotel. First, booked as a VIP Gold member with Hotels.com which provides upgraded room if available. We did not get one and the hotel seemed far from fully booked. Never saw more than a few other guests and seldom even heard people in other rooms on our floor. Even one night in an upgrade would have been really nice given the small size of the Classic room we booked, just one night to spread out and organize our luggage a bit would have made this one of our top hotel stays ever. So perhaps a bit stingy on the upgrades? To be clear, we do not know that there were upgrades available, it just seemed given the lack of guests in view that there may well have been, at least for a night or two. The one ding against the staff was one of the concierges did not follow up with us on a minor request to contact a pub to see if it was open on xmas eve. All in all, an excellent choice, but don't count on a room upgrade!

Wonderful stay. Whenever we visit London, we stay at the Montague.

Absolutely lovely place with very friendly and attentive staff

I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel. From my welcome to my leaving the staff were impeccable. Nothing was too much trouble to provide outstanding customer service. My room was very quiet and beautifully decorated. If I had one criticism it would be that I would have preferred a shower cubicle rather than a shower over the bath. As one gets older it gets a little difficult to step over the side of the bath. Having said that you could argue that had iI had brought this to the attention of the staff they might have been able to accommodate my needs. Breakfast was superb and again staff outstanding

Lovely hotel, super helpful staff but it was just too hot in the corridors - it was madness!
