The Royal Horseguards

We’ve stayed here before but a few years ago. Not a great start, lifts were grubby. All chipped paint, dirty brass. When we arrived at our room it was set up as a twin not double. A bit rubbish when they zip the bed together to make it a double. The bed was worn out my back was killing by the morning. - big dip in the middle of each side. Again chipped woodwork in the room on furniture. Bathroom was ok but sink was literally less than an arms each of the toilet. Facing each other. Signs all over the bathroom like caution hot water etc ruined the aesthetic. Breakfast was ok however the tea was too weak, pots too large and I’m guessing cheap tea bags. No nightly turndown at all. And black out curtains would be a good addition in the rooms. Overall for the price it was ok but if we paid more I would have been annoyed more.

Check in was simple and welcoming. Our room was comfortable with a great view. The slippers and dressing gown were a nice extra touch. A great location. Breakfast was great with lots of choice. Thank you.

Loved our stay at the Royal Horseguards. Great hotel, fabulous location and great food. We’ll definitely be back for our next theatre trip!

Attention to detail is the key to a good hotel and Royal horseguards has plenty of detail. The doorman Peraz especially comes to mind. The room was large and well appointed with a great view of the London Eye. Breakfast was served in a well appointed room. We had an excellent selection of continental and English Breakfast to choose from the buffet. All in all well done.

Our stay at the The Royal Horseguards Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, everything felt polished, welcoming, and effortlessly elegant — exactly what you hope for when staying in a historic London hotel. The building is absolutely stunning — grand, historic, and full of character, yet with modern comforts. Our room was spacious, clean, and thoughtfully appointed. The bedding was luxurious, the bathroom with heated floors and towel rack was pristine, and the overall atmosphere felt refined without being stuffy. There’s something very special about staying in a place that feels authentically British — classic architecture, rich history, and understated sophistication — while still offering all the comfort you expect from a five-star property. The service was flawless. Every staff member we encountered — from the front desk to housekeeping — was professional, warm, and genuinely helpful. They made us feel valued, not just like another reservation. Questions were answered quickly, recommendations were spot-on, and every interaction felt sincere. It’s rare to find service that is both efficient and gracious — but this hotel delivers exactly that. What truly sets The Royal Horseguards apart is its unbeatable location. Situated right on the Thames, you’re steps from: The London Eye Big Ben Westminster Trafalgar Square Covent Garden We were able to walk almost everywhere. Being so centrally located saved time, reduced transportation costs, and allowed us to pop back to the hotel easily during the day. It feels tucked away and peaceful, yet you are right in the heart of London’s most iconic sights. For first-time visitors or seasoned London travelers alike, you simply cannot choose a more convenient and scenic base.
