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.

The location was great and the staff were friendly. That's where the positives end, though, since I had to complain several times during our one-night stay for our anniversary. I booked the "love reigns supreme" package expecting the advertised room upgrade and bubbly, but the room was tiny and basic, and we got no wine or chocolates. I complained, so we were moved to a better room and told to call down for the items we missed. We waited hours for the wine, but it never showed up before we headed out. I asked them to have it ready for when we got back from the theatre, but after being out for hours, there was still nothing. By this point, it had been nine hours since check-in. When my wife called, they didn't seem to care and just said they'd handle it in the morning before hanging up. I'd recommend the hotel for its location, but don't expect to get what you paid for with their extra packages.

Top tier hotel with top tier service, rooms, location. Everyone couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Ask about the history of the hotel, very fascinating. Definitely worth a stay to use as a base for a London trip. Considering how nice the hotel is and how professional, courteous and helpful the staff the price is very reasonable.

Hotel was fantastic... Wonderful location on the river and a block from the underground. The best was Perez and his staff... They were FANTASTIC... I don't think I opened a door all week. When a got home I couldn't get into my house because Perez wasn't there to open my door :). I'd go back just to see Perez.... Thank you again... You'll see me again.

We had such a lovely girls lunch here, a hidden oasis and Asa provided us with the best service. Highly reccommend!
