The Montague On The Gardens

“Gem”

I commend the staff for the white-glove service from beginning to end. I appreciated the help from the doorman, the welcome of the front staff, the suggestions and reassurance of the concierge, the bar staff. The jazz musician also played for me a special piece: "I left my heart in San Francisco". … more

This charming hotel is THE PLACE TO STAY if you are planning activities in the West End. It sports old world English service and hospitality unrivaled by anywhere we have stayed in the UK. A bountiful breakfast with a myriad of choices sure to satisfy any taste or dietary requirement. High tea served every afternoon with grace and elegance. The Leopard Bar with its leopard skin wall coverings, cozy leather couches and safari motif is warm and inviting. It's restaurant, The Blue Door Bistro, with its varied menu and English specialties, did not disappoint. But it is the service that shines the brightest. From the bellmen that you first encounter, to the concierge, to the front desk, to the wait staff at the restaurant and the bar, and to the housekeeping staff, every service they provide is spot on. Special mention goes out to Mustafa, Conrad and Declan for going the extra mile during our 4 day stay and making us feel like part of the hotel family. This is our fourth visit to London, and when we return we will be staying once again at The Montague.

There is a hidden gem in London - the Montague on the Gardens hotel, within walking distance of the world renowned British museum. My daughter and I recently spent a magical night at this beautiful, charming hotel. We enjoyed delicious appetizers and wine in the exotic Leopard Bar while listening to a jazz saxophonist. Dinner at the Blue Door Bistro was absolutely scrumptious, served on three-tiered plate stands, in an elegant sunroom overlooking a lush courtyard. All of the plentiful staff were exceptional, from concierge to food servers, seeing to our every need. While we did emerge to visit the many nearby cultural sights, we were completely happy being cosseted at the Montague on the Gardens!. We cannot wait to return!

I'd like to give this 3.5 stars but I can't so rounding up because staff was hospitable. I came to London on a business trip and decided to stay a couple of extra nights. Since it was my birthday I thought I would treat myself, and the reviews were extremely positive. So the positives: on a very quiet street, so you won't have to deal with noise, or even the traffic that accompanies busier areas of London. Individually controlled aircon, there were some lux amenities, robe and slippers, tea, coffee. There is a large common area with newspapers, easy to relax there, even if you have already checked out (I did not feel like I was intruding). The day you check in you can get breakfast for 1/2 price (but I did not try it). In general everyone was very welcoming. And I was presented with a lovely treat for my birthday. The cons: some mentioned it was a bit dated. I have to agree, it seems to be riding on its old English feel, but something about that feels extremely passé. Room is small but I had a similarly small room at the IBIS so…. That was not a deal breaker. The room is quite small but many rooms in London are. The Jazz bar was quite sad. It was single sax player, playing along to a sort of muzak recording with one speaker. The gym is really NOT a gym. There are two peloton machines, and no mats to do any kind of floor workout (nor the space). Lots of ambient light in the room, and from under the doorway, bring your sleeping mask. No mini bar in room. Neutral: I saw some complaining about the location. There is a very convenient bus stop, but yes the tube is a bit further, and you are close to some attractions but not others. All in all I felt it was a bit expensive for what it offers but London in June is VERY expensive. I still think you can do better.
