Very well located hotel with a grand hotel vibe. Room and facilities very clean and well maintained. Front desk staff excellent, breakfast service was rather hit and miss, which rather let the overall experience down.

Very good staff and food. “Delux” room was smaller than picture. But very comfortable. Big tv too. Glad I didn’t pay for a garden view as it is actually a public garden. Although beautiful, very noisey with drunk teenagers on a Saturday night.

Two night London Break.

Nice hotel. Room was lovely. Breakfast on day one would have been better with more staff being available as too many guests for the staff.

We had a wonderful experience at the Royal Horseguards Hotel. The location is amazing, and the property is beautiful. Our "river view" room did not disappoint, with the best view of the London Eye from anywhere in the city. We were close to everything, so were able to pop back to the hotel for breaks during the day. The staff was also very nice and helpful.
