We have recently returned from a three night stay at The Montague and once again we were very impressed with the level of service and high standards provided by this Red Carnation hotel. We are big fans of this group and usually stay at The Chesterfield but decided to give The Montague a try for a change. It was a lovely hotel and very similar to The Chesterfield in decor and facilities. We liked the extra seating areas provided in The Montague, a small lounge and two conservatories as well as a lively and cheerful bar. The Chesterfield would benefit from extra social space and in summer The Montague will also gain from having outdoor terraces to sit on. The cigar terrace looked wonderful, I was sorry I did not smoke cigars! Once again the staff are the stars, they were very attentive and so friendly, and greatly add to the relaxed and un-stuffy atmosphere. Rooms are once again small but wonderfully equipped and provide the best beds and bedding in London. A quiet environment even if you overlook the street so a great nights sleep. The food was excellent although I have to say I think the dining room and breakfast at the Chesterfield takes some beating, (I missed my porridge with whisky). The bar provided lovely snacks throughout the day and afternnon tea was delightful and very filling!!! If you are choosing between The Chesterfield or The Montague I think it will be on location only. The Montague is within walking distance of the theatres and the area provides a wide range of places to eat and some wonderful old English pubs. The Chesterfield gives wonderful access to the parks of London and the top shopping areas of Bond Street and Regents Street but access to eateries is more limited unless ou have the money for the top restaurants of Mayfair. We love The Montague and will definitely return, we may just have to take it in turn with The Chesterfield. Thanks to all for making our stay special.
Our only problem was the piano singer was a bit too loud in the bar at night, difficult to talk, needs to turn it down a little.
