Everything about our stay with The Royal Horseguards was top-notch! Our view of the London Eye from our balcony was delightful, and our interactions with the staff was always very pleasant and helpful. The hotel's central location made it easy to walk to nearly all of our destinations, shops, restaurants, and the underground.

I stayed at Royal Horseguards about 5 years ago and loved it. I was a little let down this time. Street view out front is actually quieter than garden view, adjacent to a busy road. Bath was also dated in the garden view room. There were also air conditioning issues at the time during an unusually warm London week. As far as location, you can’t beat it just around the corner from the Embankment tube station. The staff was helpful and friendly. Royal Horseguards is a good though not great hotel.

Absolutely loved our stay at the Royal Horseguards Hotel. The location is unbeatable - right in the heart of London, with so much to explore just steps away. The hotel itself is impeccably clean and beautifully maintained, offering a perfect blend of comfort and elegance. Everything about the property exceeded our expectations.

One of the best hotels I’ve stayed in. Incredibly conveniently located and beautiful over all. My sister and I traveled with my mom who had mobility issues, however we we so close to the London Eye and the Big Ben that we went on multiple walks around town. If you needed a taxi, they were always available right outside.

The staff was friendly, available and present to possible requests. The rooms were spacious, comfortable (temperature controlled, comfortable beds, luxuriant bath/shower) and quiet. The included breakfast had delicious, varied, and plentiful choices each morning. The location allowed easy access to the Embankment tube station as well as short walking access to many London sight-seeing locations: London Eye, Trafalgar Square, Downing Street, Horse Guards Museum, etc. I'd recommend The Royal Horseguards to friends and family.

I loved this hotel. If I ever returned to London, will definitely stay here again. The staff were lovely. Very welcoming. I got a separate room for my grandfather, and they were able to accommodate his room next to mind, and even said it was the best room he had stayed at during our entire European trip. The breakfast buffet breakfast was delicious. The hotel was within walking distance to multiple locations. Made it very easy!
