What a shame to pay as much money for such a poor quality. The only good thing is the location- very central, just few meters to Embankment tube station. Do not expect to have a huge room - they are very small and seem too old fashion. People at the front desk are really not friendly not even professional. I... More

Crisp, clean, efficient, modern, well equipped, spacious, and well positioned. ...a few thoughts that I left with. I guess that the hotel was a little quirky in its layout - lifts off a small corridor, slightly low impact reception, but the overall feel of the place was good and friendly. My room (205) was great; having stayed in more London... More

I chose The Royal Horseguards after read some reviews on tripadvisor. It's a quite big hotel. The room isn't big, but is cozy and clean. The beds and pillows are great. The shower awsome. Theres a complimentary bottle of water, chocolate, coffee and snacks. It's very near from the parliament, the buckinham palace, big ben, li don eye. You can... More

I booked one nights stay at this hotel via lastminute.com's secret hotels. (At least I got a discounted rate) First off at check in there was confusion as they thought I had booked two rooms. Once cleared up, we made our way to the room. I had to call reception to check it was a deluxe double as it was... More

This hotel and it's staff are 4-star....excellent in all regards except for a few things. One issue is a major safety concern and the elderly especially should be careful in this hotel's bathrooms. For no good reason except for style or perhaps local custom, the tub/shower has only half of a shower curtain. It is very difficult not to soak... More

I have stayed at the this hotel on a number of occasions over the last few months. It is modern luxury at its best. So, the lobby is very grand with a beautiful feature fireplace, the concierge really gives a warm welcome on entry. The rooms are small ( this is London!) but extremely comfortable. Beautiful Egyptian cotton on the... More

If you are looking for a hotel in London, look no further. The hotel is Fantastic!!!!!! From the moment the doorman greets you upon your arrival until you leave the staff are most friendly and attentive without being overbearing and make you feel special. There was a harpist playing soothing music in the lobby and there was a roaring fire... More

My friend and I traveled from Southern California to visit London for the first time last week and a colleague who lives in London recommended this hotel and we were very pleased. Our only complaint was that our room wasn't ready when we arrived, jet-lagged and groggy, and though we were told the hotel guarantees room availability by 3pm, it... More

My husband and I have just returned from a wonderful stay at The Royal Horseguards Hotel. I called ahead of our stay with a couple of queries and found the receptionist very helpful. On arrival from the moment we entered the Hotel we were treated like the most important people there. The staff were great. We arrived very early and... More
