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.

We stayed here as part of a birthday celebration and only selected it on the basis of having stayed in other Carnation group hotels before. The Montague was perfect in every way from the very warm welcome extended to us by the door staff to the maids and cleaners we would cross paths with during our stay. Our room wasn't ready when we arrived, but it gave us the opportunity to relax after our journey with a cup of tea in the conservatory. We were then taken on a brief tour which might sound horrific, but it was really more of an introduction to a 'home away from home' with the member of staff providing advice on how to use the facilities.

It is a little gem of a place, and on that point, it must be said that our room was surprisingly small. I am not sure if this simply the (bad) luck of the draw or if we really needed to have upgraded to a suite to have a little bit more elbow room. Either way, it was fortunate that we were easily drawn from our room by the welcoming distraction of the bar; outdoor cigar room; conservatory and lounge area.

The attention to detail added to the experience. We returned to our room one evening to a box of homemade pastries welcoming us to the hotel. On another night, the classic mint was left on the pillows. Afternoon tea in the conservatory was also very civilised, yet relaxed. A request for a top up was promptly and generously responded to. Nothing was too much trouble,

The location is also pretty good as not only was the easy access to tube and bus routes, the park provides a wonderful haven to enjoy nature in the middle of the city and to have an albeit short but romantic meander or two!

I would like to thank your organisation for
our wonderful stay in your hotel. From the moment we arrived we felt so
welcome and the attention we received was second to none. Our room was
not ready when we arrived so we had lunch in your beautiful bar. The
food was nice but there was a problem with the cooking of the meat. When
this was pointed out we received a complimentary drink which I thought
was a lovely touch. My thanks to Mario the manager who couldn't do
enough for us and a big thank you to Luis the bartender who made my 83
year old mother feel like she was a young woman again. Both Mario and
Luis were attentive and made our stay that even more enjoyable. I will
be back to the Montage very soon with my daughter, and would recommend
the Montague to friends . Great Hotel and great staff.

Kind regards

I took my mum for her 50th birthday for her first visit to London. This hotel made the stay amazing. I contacted them before we came and they had the room all set up with chocolates and wine. Would Deffinitey book this hotel again.
