“Bloomsbury charmer beside the British Museum”

The Montague on the Gardens is a friendly gem tucked behind the British Museum — Soho, Trafalgar Square and West End theatres all walkable, with quirky decor, comfortable beds, valet parking, a good breakfast and excellent coffee, and lovely, efficient staff throughout. Rooms are clean though small; one end of the hotel had a mildew issue that was handled with a prompt room switch. Two small gripes: no fridge or handheld showerheads, and a daily service charge added to bills without upfront notice.
