Montague on The Gardens

I have stayed in a 5 star hotel during the antire year 1999. But what the Montague is offering is in no way closeto what this hotel had to offer.

I have been staying at the Montague every week from Sunday to Friday for the past 6 months. The location is within walking distance to the office and to the major attractions within the city of London. The staff have been proven very valuable when asking for dinning locations and for shopping tips. They can even organise theater tickets for you when you are unable to find any through other channels. The breakfast but even more so dinner is excellent and it is hard to find any better food in London for a comparable price. I am highly recommending this hotel for both business as well as leisure travelers.

My husband and I had a two-week European vacation. We started the trip at a sister property the Chesterfield Mayfair in London and finished back in London at the Montague. I enjoyed our stay much more at the Montague. We had a great package that included a Bloomsbury King room (it had a pretty black and white theme, room 104), tickets to the London Eye (they gave us fast break tickets which saved us from a long wait) and daily breakfast (the breakfast was wonderful, and there was a large selection each morning). The staff was wonderful. They arranged a car to return us to the airport. For less than we paid for cab to bring us to the airport, we traveled in a roomy Mercedes van. I will recommend the Montague to all our friends traveling to London.

I loved the location. I like the liberty of being to eat whatever I want while on vacation, and to compensate for this we try to walk everywhere. We were only a 15 minute walk to Convent Garden and a 30 minute walk to the London Eye, Big Ben/Houses of Parliament & Westminster Abbey. The hotel was across the street from the British Museum, so it was very easy to explore in the morning then rest up before going through the Museum. Don’t miss the Rosetta stone & Elgin Marbles (both on the 1st floor).

While we were in London we had tea at the Ritz, which is a wonderful experience. It takes a little planning as the reservations need to be booked several weeks in advance.

We also took advantage of the Big Bus Company tour. I couldn’t go to London and not ride the double decker bus. It was nice to be able to get on and off at different places and learn about them. I especially enjoyed stopping at Harrods and having lunch in the food halls.

One other most do in London is to ride the Underground. We took it to the Tower of London. We were there when it opened, and this was a great way to beat the crowds. We went immediately to the crown jewels. We didn’t have to wait, and we were able to look around for as long as we liked.

My only complaint is that the rooms were a little small, though we found this to be the case with both hotels in London.

simply one of the best hotles in the world. Great customer service form beginning to end. a true home from home
