About the Hotel
You might still spot politicians enjoying a reprieve from Parliament at The Royal Horseguards. It began life as The National Liberal Club in 1884 and was commandeered by the Ministry of Defense during both world wars to headquarter the M15 and M16, Britain's secret intelligence organizations. After undergoing a full renovation in 2008, sparkling chandeliers and contemporary accents join the oil paintings and rich red and gold furnishings that still retain the air of Westminster.

Reviews for The Royal Horseguards
Top Hotel. We have stayed here on many occasions and keep coming back; this is a very friendly hotel.
We love this hotel and I would visit if only for the breakfast! But it is also situated right in the heart of the west end giving access to all London has to offer.

What has happened?
Booked in good faith mainly from a location perspective, arrived and was ignored. Stood and waited 20 minutes before we along with another guest were even acknowledged by the staff. There was an A4 sign on the reception desk explaining they were migrating their systems. This was clearly code for “pay full price, we’d rather you didn’t stay, but please ensure you pay”. Despite a plethora of staff running around and hiding in the room behind reception, not one had common decency. Guest were queuing up as the staff chose to ignore even more patrons! We eventually got served after some classic misogyny by a member of their team and got our key card, although we were told there was no facility to charge anything to the room due to IT migration that had been going on for days. The lifts were a joke, the call sign did not correspond with anything, other guests experiencing similar issues. To top it all, we then were interrupted by another guest entering our room, he had been given the wrong keycard and room! Heading to the lifts, we bumped into another guest with the same issue of entering someone else’s room and they were in bed! SAFETY! SECURITY! Breakfast was terrible with the cheapest of ingredients and over cooked. The waitress went into a panic when asked for fresh mint tea and satiated “we just have normal tea”, my normal tea was served in a coffee pot, what a delight!

Outstanding hospitality
Lovely rooms, excellent food, wonderful facilities. Staff were all very accommodating. Really convenient location for the theatre. We were upgraded to the Wellington Suite which was really impressive.

Mind blowing experience
We arrived on Friday 20th Feb with a delux double room booked. Imagine our incredible surprise to discover we had been upgraded to The Tower Suite. We were so blown away that I had to check it wasn’t a mistake. It made my wife’s birthday especially memorable. The experience was extraordinary and made us feel like millionaires for the day. The views from the panoramic lounge on the 9th floor were genuinely pinch me. All staff were polite and helpful. Our only regret is that we didn’t spend more time in the room. Thank you Royal Horseguards’, you will never know how happy you made us.
