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.

My father enjoyed a very agreeable Silent Pool Gin and Tonic and a Green Curry, which was too spicy for me,

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.

breakfast

Spent 10 nights in this hotel, the cleanliness and house keeping were acceptable.

Perfect location, friendly staff, very clean.

Staff were friendly, and the rooms were clean.

The rooms are functional , clean and comfortable

The price is right, the room is very clean.

The rooms are simple, clean, and comfortable.

Clean comfortable rooms, excellent location close to the tube and walking distance to the British Museum.

Immaculately clean room, with everything needed for a city stay.

I'd accidentally booked a double which they managed to change to requested twin while there, staff great, room good, clean and comfortable, 

The rooms are perfectly adequate and are clean and well maintained.

Hotel was very clean, comfortable and the double room generous for this area of London.

corridors clean and what I loved the most is that dirty linen is placed in colour bags, you don’t see this often, room was very clean, nice clean towels.

We would definitely stay here again for it’s location for sight seeing, plentiful buffet breakfast, cleanliness, value for money and the customer service.

The rooms where clean and the location was perfect.

The rooms are clean and comfortable, the receptionists helpful, and there is a very good breakfast buffet.

but the nice cold lobby is a deception from the reality of the rooms. Hot.

our breakfast was no better, I changed my fork 4 times as they were covered in stains, the breakfast was either cold or burnt, safe to say we won’t be returning to this hotel in London

but hot food was cold basically room temperature which ruined my stay as cold baked beans and cold eggs are a bad start to any day

When they appeared, cold stale pastries were inedible, coffee bitter and stewed,

Very disappointing, most other hotels provide at least croissants and cheeses or cold meats and fresh fruit .shame on you president  the full English looked good and I could have paid extra for this

Breakfast was a buffet with lots of choices, hot and cold foods.plenty of teas and coffee.I would definately be staying again.

Sometimes you would like a cold drink

All in all, I would still stay here.

By staying at the hotel, our complimentary breakfast was cold cereal and toast.

Baring in mind this weekend was around 30degrees,  there was no air con or available fans anywhere or anywhere to keep drinks cold.

I wonder what people in England use to blow their noses in the horrible cold and damp season, especially worse for tourist that came from Italy and France where it was hot and beautiful.

Breakfast -room with air-conditioning ice cold and drafty with the air of a railwaystation.

but the temperature inside was pretty cold.

But the whole hotel looks old like it haven’t been refurbished since 1960, it looks like something from the Cold War.

I mean that there was a sink for the cold water and another one for the hot.

My only concern is the breakfast, it needs to be hot, we were concerned that it was a bit cold.

Buffet breakfast was cold on the first day and lukewarm on the second.

Also considering that the room was not cleaned the whole day while a please clean my room request was on the door.

Sure enough, a camp bed arrived, converting a small twin room into a crowded 3-bed room, so crowded in fact the wardrobe doors couldn’t be opened.

The doors have an automatic closing system and the knocks are not avoided by the cleaning staff, causing ''door slamming'' that make it impossible for those who need to rest to sleep. Unfortunate.

however, someone in the room next door having some sort of bronchitis attack or something and the constant cough was a) loud and b)  stomach churning.

I opened the door (room 611) to the terrible smell of stale sweat.

Maintenance need to fit soft closes in the door as all night you hear doors slamming 
The corridors and carpets need a revamp likewise bedrooms 

BREAKFAST - Excellent choice of food

but walls are thin so the snoring and voices from next door was very easy to hear.

The bathroom was tiny, as they had to fit a bath tub in there, which resulted in almost no space to move around and the toilet was right inside the door so you were squeezed up next to the wall, which wasn't really nice.

Rooms are small and noisy; you can hear everything in the room next door.

To turn this Ito a very good hotel would only need a few additions, ie a box of tissues, hooks on the bathroom door to hang things, and most importantly a grab handle over the bath, this is a safety issue.

We were asleep so no time to get to the door and they just started coming in!

Beautiful view from our room , can hear a bit of noise from rooms next door

Easy check In/out, no safe minibar,  bed uncomfortable we had to change room as the 1st one smelt like bad b.o, very noisy walls/front door very thin!

Never again would I walk through their door.

Only negative on the hotel was the when the room doors were being closed they were banging loud as we discovered one morning when Italian tourists were leaving around 7.45am.

Also I observed one of the maids get into the lift with me with a toilet brush in a belt holster, while riding the lift up she was checking on her phone and unknowingly the toilet brush was rubbing the walls and door of the lift!

The shower curtain was discoloured and there was marks all over the doors.

The mattress has springs sticking out of it, there was vomit left on our room door and the cleaners had left my parents bin rubbish in our room.

I booked this hotel in error, thinking I was booking its sister hotel next door, the Imperial.

As I returned to the room a member of staff saw me and I asked if he would stand in the hallway and hear first hand the racket.

The corridors etc were dated and needed a pit of a spruce up,

but be aware the the rooms and upper hallways are not quite as modern.

Corridors to the room was a little dated and corners of the walls with chunks missing from being knocked over and over .

The corridors remind us of the shining !!!

Decor looks very tired and dated in the corridors outside bedrooms.

The walls are thin and there’s a fair bit of noise from the hallways, the floors outside creak very loudly and would often wake me up at night.

We were then concerned as there was no notice, so in our jammies, we were out in the corridor trying to find out what was going on, only for the maid to say it was just a test.

The hotel is a bit tired in places, notably the corridors,

The worst part is the creaky floor in the corridor you hear EVERYONE coming and going as it makes so much noise and I couldn’t find a spot to walk that was quiet.

Interestingly, I could move my device closer to the hallway and the signal would get stronger and I could connect

but when you go behind the scenes to the corridors and rooms everything is somewhat tired and dated.

but getting a little tired and probably requires a update has does the corridor on floor 1.

breakfast was very busy and cramped, with 3 couples having to sit at different table,

Corridors to the room was a little dated and corners of the walls with chunks missing from being knocked over and over again.

The hotel corridors had a very weird musty smell and the decor was very outdated.

You aren't going to find a swimming pool, spa, gym, room service or fine dining

Check in was done through an app and I could even open my room door with the app, something really new to me

I stayed in a twin room which was good in size and bath was new with shower enclosure.

Easy check in, room facing Russel square , no issues with room bed comfy,
Nice large bar area 
Breakfasts was well organised dining room very comfortable micely spaced out food was excellent catered for everyone

This is my second time staying here, the first day they got our rooms mixed up

but prefer a bath and the refurbished rooms seem to be all showers now, breakfast good, just back and already booked for my next stay.

Quiet in evenings (I had a room on 2nd floor facing inwards to a courtyard).

The room was well equipped and very clean.

but excellent, no need to queue at the reception for checking in.

They’re friendly, approachable and eager to cater to your every need.

Honestly for me I would take the team over modernism.

ISHAA at the front desk was very helpful and efficient.

Very efficient speedy reception, lovely breakfast.

Excellent hotel, very accommodating, great bar and Staff was very polite.

They also kindly allowed me to check-in 3 hours earlier, something a lot of London hotels do not always allow.

First I would like to thank reception for letting us check in early, all staf very friendly.

I want to give praise to the fantastic customer service we received by the staff on the reception desk, in particular to Yasin.

This is a lovely hotel, friendly staff and fantastic location just a two minute walk from Russel square tube.

The staff were very friendly and helpful.

(turn left out of the station and left again onto Herbrand Street to walk to the front of the hotel)  Lovely Russell Square park is at the other end of the block. The British Museum (amazing!)

The President Hotel, situated as it is near Euston  Station, the British Museum and underground stations, is ideal as a base in London.

Hotel is walking distance from the British museum and some good restaurants.

Tube station, the British Museum and much more
Lovely staff apart from the one who checked me in on June 1 who’d obviously been sucking lemons for a fortnight plus
Nice lounge and handy shop on site
Clean rooms 
Close to the character-ridden Friend at Hand pub
Cheap for it’s location 

Cons:-

Increasingly shabby corridors, in need of severe and urgent updating, including the doors which look as if half of them have been kicked in
Coffee remnants remained outside of resident’s door for three days until furry
Rooms adequately furnished

Very good location, an easy walk to the British Museum, a slightly longer one to Kings Cross

from several restaurants and coffee shops, next to the British Museum, 15-20 min.

The hotel is un central London just to minutes walking from Russell Square station and 10 minutes to the British Museum.

The British museum and others worth visiting are close by.

The British Museum, University of London, and other attractions are within walking distance.

Hotel very close to Russel Square tube so minutes away from Covent Garden or Piccadilly Circus, or walking distance to the British museum.

This hotel is three minutes from Russell Square tube station, a minute from the lovely square itself, 10 minutes from the British Museum, a short walk to Euston, St Pancras and King's Cross, and — surprisingly — walking distance to West End theatres.I have always had a pleasant greeting from reception staff and the friendly porters.

It's in such a handy location too - close to Theatre-land and convenient for the West End shops and the British Museum.

This hotel is amazing located near a tube, you can walk to the British Museum and other shops easily.

The British Museum is literally about a 3 minute walk away.

It’s positive was it was near the British museum and nearby some very good restaurants.

The staff were really helpful, especially the concierge who looked after our bags as we went to the British Museum.

It's at Russell Square, a great location in central London, convenient walking distance to many attractions, including five minutes from the British Museum and a short walk to the Underground Piccadilly Line.

Booked this place for a one night stay in January to show my mum the British museum as that is quite close by, and I was very impressed with this hotel.

The not so good was the room not being available at 2pm to check in and then we could not open the door as the lock was broken.
