The Royal Horseguards

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.

After not a great stay at this property I tended to find the staff rude, often saw staff smoking outside which. When asking for a taxi to Heathrow I heard the doorman ask the doorman to give him some money for taking me. I checked out today 3/3/26. Attached a photo of staff which I took from across the road

We stayed here for 1 night end of Feb-26. The hotel is in a fabulous location and very well presented. The staff and courteous and friendly. The rooms are luxurious and I would definitely recommend this hotel to other travelers

What a wonderful hotel and the staff were absolutely fantastic. Lovely room and we were made to feel so welcome. The location is great and very easy to get to theatres and bars. We will definitely be making a return trip.

All good apart from heated towel rail not working
