Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Montague On The Gardens is highly rated, particularly for its excellent location near the British Museum and with convenient access to Underground stations like Russel Square. Guests often enjoy the breakfast at the Blue Door Bistro and dinner at the Leopard Bar Terrace. While many find the rooms spacious and appreciate amenities like the French press, a few guests have mentioned that some aspects of the hotel feel a bit outdated. Nevertheless, the hotel's central position allows easy exploration of London's attractions.

mixed feelings about this stay

weak showerroom shabbiness
Honestly, the room felt a bit tired. i spotted some wear and tear. the shower pressure was also surprisingly weak. I expect better for the price. it barely managed to rinse the shampoo from my hair, annoying.
