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.

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.

But after reading reviews & booking through Hotels.com I decided it sounded ok mainly due to the location.

The location is perfect as a base, I can't recommend this hotel highly enough it's a real gem, thank you for making our stay a great one.

Great stay in a lovely hotel which is located perfectly to get everywhere easily.

The location is good and the staff friendly and the room relatively clean.

Although the room was located a few doors away from The main hotel it was easy to find and access.

Stayed here as ideal location for a Theatre trip.

The location is fantastic, next door to the British Museum.

The only positive about this hotel is the location,

Now my 1 positive comment, great location, for British museum , 10 mins walk to Covent garden, and the theatre district.

but clean and a good location for the British Museum and 15-20 minute walk from the theatre district.

The hotel has a great location within walking distance of most central London landmarks.

Cozy, comfortable, fabulous location and staff - B & B style.

Good points first, the location is handy for a lot in this part of the city and the breakfast was fairly good.

Stayed here for a night on a recent weekend away in London, location is perfect and most things are within walking distance.

but it was clean and tidy throughout and the location couldn't be faulted for the West End and British Museum.

Firstly, great location, upon entering the building we quickly realized all was not what was advertised.

We enjoyed our stay at the Morgan, it is on a prime location if you are visiting the British museum over a period of days, literally 5 minute walk.

We had a night in a double room, the experience was lovely, from walking into reception we were made to feel welcome.

Room was large, clean with everything we needed & a great hot shower.

The reception is a cubbyhole downstairs in the basement, next to the dining room.

We booked a double room and the photos looked amazing , great for a trip to london for our engagement , instead totally ruined !

Our room was at the front, room 211, which as mentioned in a previous post was very warm.

The room had so many vaults from the massive  hole in bedroom and the massive hole  and mould in the bathroom.

We were in room 212 top of the 50 set of steps, not easy when carrying suit cases,

Its sllighly closer to covent garden etc and the room was fully functional for our 3 night stay.

but it’s clean and cosy with comfortable rooms.

Hotel was ideal, our room was in a building a few doors down the road, room was a good size with everything you need.

Room at back of hotel so very quiet 
Lovely breakfast cooked to order
Receptionist very helpful re booking of taxi for surprise trip to the Ritz
All in all good value for money very clean

I had a top floor room which was red hot,

I had a small room at the back of the hotel.

You enter directly in the bathroom with the room further in.

The tiny bathroom is designed for someone over 6 foot.

The toilet was small and cramped, hot water took about 5 mins to come through in the shower and the toilet seemed to flush and not fill up.

Firstly, as i opened the door to my room, I had to walk through the bathroom to get in the the small cramped quarters of the bedroom!!

Bathroom was small again and not as clean as I would have liked.

Bathroom small, it took "ages" before the hot water reached 2nd floor!

Single room #245 at 40 Bloomsbury had very small bathroom with low, sloped ceiling over toilet.

but bed was a bit small and bathroom tiny - had to be careful not to hit my head on the ceiling but all ok given the price.

The single room was equally as dark and a long thin room with a very small bathroom.

The only thing that was uncomfortably small was the shower,

Showering in a small cubicle takes some getting used to!

although the staff were welcoming, this-does nothing to compensate for the fact that the hotel ads are misleading, no drinking water in room, no replenishment of tea making facilities, no tissues, no bed making, musty smell to bed,  luke warm breakfast, noisy doors, room fittings all extremely tired, extractor fan not working in bathroom, best of all was an eye bolt on the wall for attaching a rope to to evacuate in the event of a fire, with no rope!

There was a bottle of water in the bathroom and I was shocked to find the rubber stopper was black with mold.

With the kitchen being below ground, if there was a fire, there is no way out, as the only route is coming down the stairs from the top floor, no other fire escape route, i think we all know smoke rises!!!.

The tight trip down the unvacumed stairs  to reception was procarious, a weird smell greeted us

There was a really bad smell coming from the breakfast area hence we went elsewhere to eat.

The water was not drinkable from the tap so they had put some water in a bottle with a flip top, once opened the rubber seal was blackened with mold so we had to go out and buy water 10 at night.

The decor a bit dated and the hall and stairs up the room smelt like warm dust.

When I was shown to the room I noted an unpleasant smell which I hoped would clear by airing the room.

8 hours in cramped, musty room with no drinking water.

Our very small room on the ground floor was okay except for a very strong musty damp smell which combined with a room freshened sweet smell made me rush to open the ground floor window.

The room smelled strongly of some kind of (I would assume) cleaning liquid which I didn't enjoy at first

Cons: smell of cooking oil and sausages from basement kitchen never leaves the halls and rooms, water in bathroom is non-potable, so you have to lug water bottles up from basement kitchen.

First night there, after we came back from dinner, The stairway to our rooms smelled like a pot party.

The windows were single glazed and one was not lockable which scared the hell out of me especially as people congregated in the yard outside my windows to chat and smoke at all hours of the day and night.

I’ve not stayed at the Morgan before - I wanted somewhere close to the British Museum and I couldn’t really get closer.

In the same block as the British Museum, so within walking distance of pretty much everything.

Right down the street from the British Museum, close to public transport, clean, and breakfast included!

The British museum is right behind the hotel, so that was an excellent perk!

The location of this hotel is good if you want to either watch a show or visit the British museum.

Round the corner from the British Museum (Mostly free entrance), 2 minutes walk to Tothenham Court Road Tube station, less than 10 minutes walk to a number of great Theatres and in the middle of lots of restaurants for all taste buds and pockets.

This is in a great locaiton just north of Covent Garden and ideal for the British Museum, Soho, etc, and it is in an interestering Victorian house with historic features.

One of many small, independent hotels in the area near the British Museum - this one is actually just round the corner from it.

The location is fantastic, walking distance from the British Museum, Covent Garden, Oxford Street and other London attractions.

Walking distance to the Phoenix theatre and the British museum.

Great location within a block of the British Museum and a 15 to 20 minute walk to the theater district.

Location is great; adjoining the British Museum and a short walk to Covent Garden and most theatres..

They cleaned the room every day and we also had breackfast at the hotel.the room was very quiet as it faced the british museum.

The hotel is in a convenient location with the Shaftesbury Theatre being only a few minutes walk away and the British Museum directly behind the premises.

My bedroom overlooked the back of the British Museum.

but best of all a small private courtyard backing onto the British Museum.

Location was good to 2 different underground stations and several theaters and the British museum,

although you could walk around the double bed.

Its handy to all the theatres so could walk everywhere.

The hotel was approx 15 min walk from it.

Helpful smiling personnel - and of course the placing is one of the best - 5 minutes walk to Tottenham court Road tube station, and 7 minutes to Holborn tube - good price and value, highly recommended.

The hotel is about a 10 minute walk from Tottenham Court station.

The hotel was very claustrophic and as a 6 foot fella, it was a tight squeeze walking through the hotel.

The hotel is in a brilliant location and only a few minutes walk from Tottenham Court Road tube station, Theatre Land, China Town etc..  Our room was a the front of the hotel, on Bloomsbury Rd.

Close proximity to everywhere possible as we walked from Euston station to it and all around London for the few days we were there.

Small, fabulous location , close to great book stores , London Review ofBooks,Persephones, and so many more , ideal for West End theatre ,a fabulous stamp and paper shop, lovely afternoon tea spots,  UCL visits , numerous buses stop at the door, walk to great shopping, Piccadilly Square, Covent Garden market and so much more . .

The hotel is in a great location, less than 5 minutes walk from Tottenham Court Road tube and very convenient for Soho, Chinatown, Covent Garden and Oxford Street areas.

The following morning we walked down to have breakfast, and again, it a hot and well cooked full plate.

about a mile from euston station, and 10 minutes walk from all the main theaters and shows, covent garden is also about 10 minutes walk away, british museum, is not far, so really central for everything

British museum within 5 minutes walk as well.

The fixed  fitting angled it to face the opposite wall of the shower at around the 5'9 level not down-over.

kept coming apart despite being bolted together , a shower fixed to the wall at 5 ft 5 height so you couldnt use it , the room was badly dated with an old kettle that didnt work and a microwave ?

Our room had a broken hairdryer on the wall, the air con didn't work, the safe didn't work, no hot water in the shower, radiator was rusty, one towel was stained.

Frayed carpets, paper peeling away from the walls and the overall decor is old fashioned.

Walls are paper thin, with sizeable gaps under doors which means normal volume conversations are perfectly audible through closed doors and it is not a place to get an early night.

The WC was squashed between the wall and the shower cubicle.

However, the furnishing are very old, the rooms very small, the walls are paper thin, it is definately not romantic, and the breakfast is very basic.

As notes in other reviews the walls seem unusually thin and areas need a deep clean.

Thin walls - could actually hear neighbors snoring.

but the inability to drink the water, the lack of any water pressure in the shower, the difficulty of making sure your door was locked (no key cards here), coming back to a partially locked door (which you have no way of stopping since there are no “do not disturb” placards), the lack of privacy due to paper thin walls (we could clearly hear the conversations going on in the next room) and unreliable wi-fi were all major drawbacks.

Large sash windows were covered with heavy golden drapes and the walls had lots of maps of English counties.

One wall was entirely made of windows and a glass door opening to a bricked, walled courtyard.

but beware if you are a light sleeper as walls are paper thin!

The room walls are a little thin and so we heard our next door neighbor cough and sneeze.

Mind you, of course it is not a 4-star hotel and you’ll have to put up with some minor inconveniences: the walls between rooms are thin and you can hear a good deal from your neighbours, the shower niche is pretty narrow and someone may find it rather inconvenient, and if you have many pieces of luggage you won’t have much room to spread them around.

Bring you own bar of soap if you don't like wall dispensers, which I don't.
