Beautiful lobby, great breakfast.. tea not brilliant (if you know, you know. Lifts and corridors are shabby, room was clean but tired furniture and mattress was very firm (preference). They lock you out of your room on checkout day before checkout which was annoying.. No turndown service but on the first night I had a muffin in our room with a note address to someone else 😂.. All in all not quite what it used to be.. which is a shame.

The room’s bathroom was not functional and the water constantly overflowed from the shower. It was horrible. After a day of complaining, they changed our room a the new room didn’t have a functioning heater. I wouldn’t stay there again, expensive but the service do not match the price…. Not even a holiday inn would have been that bad!

Having previously sampled afternoon tea at The Royal Horseguards hotel we decided to stay a few nights as a special celebration. Our 3 nights in this wonderful hotel, a magnificent building with lovely features (especially the stairs), spacious rooms and a view over the gardens and river which was spectacular (especially at night when the buildings were illuminated), was a joy. The staff we interacted with were brilliant; professional, polite, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. From the first greeting at the front door (the likes of Prevez, Osmand and others whose names unfortunately escape me), reception (Gerald, Abeena et al), concierge (Burak, Chico, Szymon and their colleagues) to those in hospitality (including Elisabeth and Asa) and house keeping until our departure the staff enhanced our stay. I have no doubt we will return to this wonderful place and have sung the praises of The Royal Horseguards hotel, especially those working there that make the hotel special, to family and friends.
