The room we booked was quite small and the bathroom was really *unacceptably* small; you could barely turn around, and the front of the toilet was only about 18 inches from the bathtub.

I had called ahead to request a room with a bath tub and a fridge.

My main complaint would be the height of the bathtub.

The bathtub/shower was also so high off of the floor that, being a short person, I practically had to climb in and out of it every use.

My only so/so about the whole experience was that they have the half glass doors on the bathtub, so water would soak the floor.

The tub was only half enclosed, so water was everywhere after taking a shower.

The decor is fussy, so not to our taste, and I would have preferred a shower over a tub.

My only issue was the shower which sprayed water outside its borders and presented a difficult entry and exit from within a high tub without appropriate handles to make your life easier.

The shower head is firmly installed inside the bathtub and in the ceiling.

Thus when stepping out of the tub you experience a step down.

Everything perfect with the room and bathroom, we slept well and enjoyed the breakfast.

We had dinner in the hotel restaurant that was very delicious and the continental breakfast we had in the morning was quite lovely.

I ordered room service for a late-night dinner and breakfast and the food was prompt and delicious.

although I would again like to point out the great service provided by Lucia in the restaurant, during the breakfast service.

The location on the gardens is so close to the Underground, British Museum, and healthy walks to Piccadilly Circus and Covent Garden for theatre shows.

The breakfast buffet was delicious and well stationed and their library and garden room such a delight to relax in.

Breakfast was good and it wasn't too busy.

Breakfast very good,
Hotel well positioned for theatres.

Everything was very good except that they overcook the eggs.

We had dinner in the main restaurant our first evening and it was delicious!

Breakfast, high tea and dinner were excellent.

From Afternoon Tea, to the Leopard Bar, to dinner, and to the lovely breakfast every morning, the level of service and the food was outstanding.

The staff at breakfast were a delight – friendly, chatty and service-orientated.

Beyond the breakfast, the hotel team were always at hand to help around and answer any questions we might have.

We ordered a few cocktails and a plate of fish and chips to share - all were delicious.

Dined there once for breakfast & once for dinner.

The customer service was first class, our room and bed amazingly comfortable and a delicious first class breakfast.

Next morning down for breakfast, incredible choice and again good friendly service.

But as it was, we felt we had to keep the curtains closed the entire time, which made the room dark.

It is damp, hot, dark, not what it shows at all.

The room was dark, probably due to the decor and the room wasn't as clean.

I did check and whereas we could see outside they could not see in until dark when we shut the shades so we were pleased with the view.

Our room was as far from the front desk as you could get, the toilet had issues the shower water wouldn’t stay in the shower and the room was dark and small.

The room was also dark with dark furniture which did not help.

In all, the small study was extremely gloomy given the paucity of light and the overly dark furnishings.

We took our dog Charlie with us and I have to say it is one of the best dog friendly hotels we have ever stayed in.

We took our dog with us, choosing this hotel specifically because of that, they are brilliantly dog friendly.

We spent a couple of hours in the bar on the first evening and the girl who was serving our drinks was so very friendly (and very happy to see the dogs we were travelling with).

We would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone, especially if you have a dog, as we do.

Stayed here with my wife and 2 dogs, and we all loved it.

Montague on the gardens, we will be back with our children and dog.

There are two large parks near the hotel and the largest of them, Russell Square, seemed popular with dog walkers and joggers - and the latter can creep up on you so it’s worth turning your head once in a while!

I was also cooked the best doggie breakfast in the world by the chef which was served to me by a lovely lady My staff say that most hotels who say they are dog friendly only mean they are 'dog tolerant'

I would really recommend this hotel to not only for people with pets

The restaurant and bar staff were equally wonderful’ so friendly and welcoming!

Reception team fantastic,  room delightful,  complementary bottle of champagne courtesy of the manager Dirk, room service after the concert was amazing too.

The dinner menu was original and the food excellent.

The Montague on the Gardens is excellent in ticking all the boxes:  location, cleanliness, attention-to-detail, eating and drinking amenities, and last,

Bloomsbury is really a gem of an area - short walk to so many attractions and restaurants.

The salmon skewers were beautifully cooked and all the other canapes were filling and really tasty.

The restaurant and the afternoon tea in the garden are very nicely presented.

It is the perfect place to stay in London: 
on a quiet street, adjacent to the British Museum;
just the right size to be personal;
walking distance to three Tube stations;
good food and the Leopard Bar a great place for a drink; a simple room service sandwich arrives as a special meal, beautifully laid out on a tray;
decor is traditional,

Both days we had a cocktail in the Leopard bar.

Great food, amazing garden, and so welcoming staff.

Visited the Montague on the garden hotel for an afternoon tea yesterday with my wife.We had an excellent time .The service bad staff was absolutely wonderful and mead the day so amazing.The mango fusion tea is dream to savour.As we arrived ,we were greeted with a wonderful smile and you couldn’t ask anymore from the staff.Everything is as expected and we are definitely be going back .Next time it would be for an evening meal .Well done to all the staff that works at the hotel and for making the day unforgettable.

The concierge was very helpful in directing us to several wonderful "non-touristy" pubs for dinner and we could not have been happier with his suggestions.

We enjoyed very much talking with Lucia in the Restaurant and Georgia at the Front Desk, ably assisted by Neil, Jorge and Animbola.

We had breakfast every morning in the main room , they had a very nice variety of food.

Fabulous location, an amazing array of food  and  wonderful staff where nothing was too much trouble.

The staff at the hotel are so welcoming and helpful, particularly the bar staff who made great recommendations- thank you.

They have wonderful, warm and inviting staff.

Head Concierge Mustafa was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable—helping us before we arrived and again upon arrival with great information and expert assistance.

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the staff at Montague on the Gardens.

Staff could not have been more pleasant and helpful.

From the moment we pulled up and the car was taken by the concierge, amazing.

Wonderful staff from the second that our taxi arrived !

I cannot say enough about the hospitality provided by all levels of The Montague staff.

Inside, you're greeted straight away and the staff are so helpful and polite.

but what made the stay so remarkable was the staff, who made us all feel special during our stay.

She was so friendly, helpful and gave us excellent advice about what to do and where to go (Borough Market), particularly in light of the Notting Hill carnival which she advised us to avoid.

Messrs. Crokaert and Anderson, General Mgr.

Not so at The Montague - every single staff member was friendly and helpful.

I would DEFINATELY stay here again I enjoyed every minute of my stay.Well done to all the staff for making our visit so lovely.

What a lovely location, and the staff and food were amazing!

Each one of the crew was kind and gave us the filling that we are well come. Ohh.

All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Special thanks to Ian and Harriet who are outstanding representatives of hospitality..

Around the corner from The British Museum, this lovely hotel is in the heart of Bloomsbury.

It is also located right across the street from the British Museum, a must see site in London.

It's perfect for a visit to the British Museum, literally 5 minutes walk to the main entrance.

The Montegue on the Garden is a wonderful boutique Hotel across the street from The British Museum in London.

The location was also great being close to Covent Garden, the West End and of course the British Museum.

The hotel is well located--a 5 minute walk from the Russell Square tube station in one direction and a 10-minute walk from the Tottenham Court Road tube station in the other direction and more or less directly across the street from the British Museum.

This lovely Hotel is situated next door to The British Museum, so close you can almost touch it.

The guest rooms and public spaces are lovely and the location in Bloomsbury around the corner from the British Museum is convenient yet on a quiet garden.

We arrived early, so dropped our bags off and headed out for lunch and a look around the British Museum, which is right around the corner.

The hotel is close to the British Museum, restaurants and public transit.

We also really enjoyed the location near the British Museum and the Picadilly Line.

Again we went to the British Museum, rode the tubes and enjoyed London from our lovely hotel.

The location is steps from the British Museum.

Its location is very good, close to the British Museum and the underground is just a short walk away.

The Montague Hótel is a gem in Bloomsbury, close to the British Museum.

It is adjacent to the British Museum which is a must see.

Hotel is centrally located right next to the British Museum.

Just a ten minute walk to Shaftesbury Avenue for our theatre visit, and the hotel is just behind the British Museum so worth a visit there too.

The Montague on The Gardens

bathtub

breakfast

Tiny, dirty room (looked like it hadn’t been cleaned for years), no air conditioning, the smallest shower I’ve ever used.

Room resembled a prison cell, no air conditioning or option to leave window open and the heat was unbearable.

There was a small fan in the corner so I had to have this on all night to try to keep cool.

Mattress was so thin and could feel every spring,
Smelt damp/ musty
Bathroom was so bad I didn’t even use it, sink was disgusting, basin and tap thick with limescale ( well o hope it was I didn’t wanna get too close) as was the toilet, shower door couldn’t even open fully as not enough room., it was blocked by the wall / radiator, 
Coming back after the wedding around 12.10am the whole floor we were staying on stunk of weed!

Could hear some talking through wall from adjacent unit.

Don't expect air conditioning - a fan is what you'll get - en suite bathrooms are small, and with stairs throughout, it's unsuited to guests with restricted mobility.

However, the sash window rattled all night.

Thanet is in good location, small & Owner operated; We had made reservations via web for 3 seniors for 3 nights; Amenities & Bath are sparse; Our unit in -1 Level in need of attention to detail / repair.

but since it is an old building, there is no air conditioning.

Note that there is no A/C and we were there at the beginning of Spring, so can't comment on the Summer comfort,

The bathroom fan wasn't working and as no window it stayed steamy and hot the whole time.

Only two power sockets which made it difficult to charge 3 phones & tablets over night when fan running!!

but luckily our unit did not get too hot.

With no air conditioning they provided an electric fan.

Being built in 1800 this B & B displays some of the quirky features of an old building,- squeaky floorboards, minuscule bathroom etc BUT the shower is hot and responsive!

There is no air conditioning (that I'm aware of)

I was only lucky that the window opened, because otherwise I would have suffocated: the room was as hot as a sauna when I first went in around 6pm, and after turning down the radiator it only got slightly better.

Remember nobody in London does aircon at this room price, and the summer can get a bit sticky - so leaving the window open is a plus.

The agreed rate of nearly £1000 was for bed and breakfast.

All the staff were friendly and the breakfast was lovely and very filling - choice of cereal, fruit, yogurts and also a cooked breakfast with toast and preservatives - a good way to start the day

My breakfast was lovely and their full English was delicious 😁👍and all staff were polite and helpful I'd definitely recommend this B&b. 👍👍👍👍

The breakfast was plentiful and the staff were very friendly and could not do enough for you.

But as I dont worry about a cooked breakfast it didnt affect my stay.

The full service breakfast sets u up for a great day and is just a part of the wholesome feel one has.

There was a reasonable range of cereals, plenty of toast, and the cooked breakfasts were well done by a friendly breakfast room team.

Excellent service from staff and a really great breakfast.

Clean and tidy with a lovely breakfast that is served very quickly no matter what and with a smile.

The breakfast was delicious with plenty of choices.

The breakfast is simply a  delight, served at your table by friendly staff.

The breakfast was very sufficient and the staff were incredibly accommodating, nothing was too much trouble.

Breakfast, plenty and buffet style and breakfast cooked to order.

Breakfast was very nice and you had plenty of choice what to have.

Breakfast was great - made to order - full English breakfast and included yogurts, cereals, fresh fruit.

The owners are very friendly and the full English Breakfast was a great start  way to start each day.

The location of the hotel is exactly what you need when staying in London as it is walking distance from some major sites such as the British Museum, which I managed to visit while staying here.

The only positive comment I'd make about this hotel is that it is in a good location.

It has a great location, Soho is just a few minutes walking.

This will be my 3rd visit, As it's a great location  to central London only a 
15 minute walk to Leicester square plus a good price.

Spot on location as walking distance to station and west end.

It is centrally located to most things in London and easy to get to and from.

The hotel is in a good location for exploring London with comfortable beds and reasonably priced.

Very handily located between Russell and Bloomsbury squares, and so within comfortable walking distance of British Museum and theatres in the West End.

This hotel is located on a nice street which is neat and tidy.

It’s price is more than reasonable, it’s location is awesome and the street it is on is quiet as a mouse in the evenings.

I stayed here with my friends and we were located in the family room on the third floor.

Location excellent, just off Russel Square.

For London Sight seeing or walks to Oxford st. shops this is a great location.

Thanet Hotel is located in the Bloomsbury area of London.

This is a great B&B in the heart of Bloomsbury, a very convenient location for sightseeing  in London.

It was very relaxing to watch the kids and dogs play in the little water fountain area.

I was really happy with my room, it was the perfect size, the bathroom was nice and clean and overall, the room had everything I needed and more.

but also basically admitting they hadn’t cleaned our room before we checked in)!

It was for 1 night, the bedding was clean and the room was basic

The only good things I can say are that the staff were nice and friendly, and the free wifi signal in my room was good.

but clean and comfortable with a small shower room that was ideal.

Even the receptionist in the Lonsdale asked if we would like to see the room first!

but room  was clean  needs updating but for price payed  u cant expect 5star 
bedding wdidnt see a lot of the staff but they were polite when checking inas clean towels were clean shower was ok  for price we payed  was good

but staff checked in large parties into the two adjacent rooms completely unnecessarily.

Nothing was clean, room was sticky Radiators thermostatic valves were stuck on.

The room was comfortable and very clean as was all of the hotel.

My room was on the top floor, room 10, which was a spacious room with a double bed.

Good bed,lots of tea,coffee and milk in the room.

The bed was so comfortable, plenty of spare pillows and blankets if needed, also tea, coffee and biscuits in the room.

but is so filthy it’s grey and has live fleas jumping (I have a video of the fleas) on it and the whole shower room smells of actual poop then this is the place for you!!

I didn’t even look at the shower as the bath mat was unbelievably filthy!!

The down stairs bathroom and toilet stunk and looked like they hadn’t been cleaned for days as there was hair all over the floor.

but, while the bed had been made up with clean sheets, the room itself had not been cleaned at all and was in a filthy state.

but to stay in the totally disgusting room as we had to get ready for the wedding that was in a hours time.

My husband booked this hotel as part of my Christmas present, he booked the Lonsdale hotel on the morning of our booking we were called and advised to go to the Thanet hotel next door, this we did and we were shown to our room, the room was very dated and tired looking, the shower was disgusting!!

On entry strong smell of a smoker - not good considering 1 family member asthmatic and chesty at time.

The shower wasn't great as the drain kept getting blocked and leaking onto the bathroom floor, seemed to happen on and off.

Here are some of the reasons:  the dank odor in our "garden" (basement) room & the narrow steep stairway leading to it; the inconvenient window for breakfast (only 1 &1/2 hours from 8:45-9:15) & the very small crowded dining room that didn't always have enough tables for guests; a cranky hostess who scolded me for moving (a few inches) two tables together to accommodate our party of three, including one child, etc.

Affordable hotel rooms in London are very few and far between - most are pretty disgusting and are more likely to resemble a cheap back-packer hostel!

The smell was quite vile, and presented an obvious health concern.

The bed (a double) was small, the mattress thin, the box springs soiled and worn.

The Hotel was closest to the British museum a walk distance to the museum.

I have again visited this gem of a place near the British museum.

We arrived into London quite early, the receptionist on arrival was very accommodating keeping our bags until check in & giving us directions to the British museum.

but within walking distance to the British Museum and Central London.

As a solo traveller with a large luggage I was happy to find out that the hotel was just a few minutes walk from Russel Square Tube Station.The British Museum was just a few minutes away and you have number of restaurants around the corner.

Location is great just around the corner from the British museum and 5 minutes walk from both Holborn and Russell square tube stations which are on the line that goes to Heathrow airport.

Good location very close to the British Museum, pleasant staff and a good, hearty breakfast. .but.

and very good value for its position so close to the British Museum.

only a 5-minute walk from Russell Square and the British Museum. Located on (for London!)

It's on a quiet street and within an easy walk to the British Museum and the Russell Square underground station.

Bedford street is close to the Russell Square tube station and literally down the block from the British Museum.

It's in a wonderful Bloomsbury location on one of the more quiet streets off of Russell Square, so very close to the Tube stop, around the corner from the British Museum, about a 10 min walk to Covent Garden/Leicester Sq area.

I was attending a conference at SOAS (UCL) and also planned to spend time at the British Museum, and this small hotel worked out perfectly.

The hotel itself in on a quiet street, about a 2 minute walk from the British Museum.

In summary, our stay was very pleasant, the hotel within walking distance of 2 tube stations and the British Museum.

Nestled between two tube stations (Holborn and Russell square) and two beautiful parks (Bedford and Russell), it is within walking distance to the British museum, and Oxford street.

Overall I can't complain about the stay and the location us excellent being round the corner from the British Museum and being ten minutes walk away from Covent Garden and the theatres, and approximately ten minutes away from Euston by foot.

Within easy walking, a block or two, is the British Museum and many restaurants.

The central location is fantastic and within walking distance to the British Museum, or Covent Garden.

but I could not leave the window open because it was a basement room opening to the street - the window was not at all secure so could not be opened even a tiny bit without feeling unsafe.

I stayed in room no 3, very poor decor I wasn’t even given a towel also the shower curtain looked rank!!

The bed was old and uncomfortable and we had to open the sash window alot to get some air though.It was very warm.

but meant it was quite nosy at night when the windows were shut.
