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.

Wonderful place!

We LOVED this hotel! When we return to London (hopefully!) we definitely want to stay here. The history of the hotel is incredible - and some of the staff will even take you on a tour of the grounds and tell you the history of the building!! (Including Churchill using it for war offices during the war!) I forgot to take any pictures of the room, but besides being small (it’s England, after all), it was wonderfully comfortable. The bed was amazing and the shower, though small, was efficient.

Great place to stay, close to everything. Staff were friendly and very helpful. The lobby looks great and so does the room with views to the Thames. Complementary drinks in the fridge and the espresso machine makes it even better, so do the bathrobes and slippers. Breakfast was excellent. The manager Gonsalo was lovely and did a great job providing breakfast for a nut allergy sufferer. Thank you

Great hotel. Old, historic, and in good shape. The breakfast was done via buffet with high quality food but the staff couldn’t keep up with the patrons so half of the buffet items were empty. Would stay again and would aim for a non-peak breakfast time.

Great location and we were delighted with an upgrade to a garden view room which could be renamed Awesome London Eye view room. Cosy and lovely room with everything needed for a luxurious night away in London. We will be booking again.

Never again

We have had music blasting for the past 4 hours. We were told the event would end at midnight. It’s still going at 12:15am. It’s rude that this is still happening and nothing is being done by the hotel.

Every aspect of our stay was superb. In particular the service at check in and the attentiveness of the staff was first class. The check in clerk was lovely, I didnt get his name but he was so helpful and welcoming, it was a great start to our trip.
