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
Excellent
Rupom gave us a behind the scenes tour of the hotel. Loaded with beautifully designed elegant rooms from the 18th century. Incredible underground cellar. An underground tunnel that is closed off but use to connect directly to Scotland Yard. Highly recommend taking this tour with Rupom.

Disappointing from the start to finish
Online booking great but everything from transfers to check-in to mid-assigned rooms, to reception failing to acknowledge mistakes to being double charged. Terrible experience. I would really appreciate a FULL refund for this trip because I feel cheated.

Wonderful location with lovely view over the Thames. Very comfortable room with plenty of space and cool air conditioning on a hot few days in London. Tasty breakfast in their dining room both inside and outside in the courtyard.

Room 312 needs refurbished
Poor room quality for a 5* hotel. Stained carpets throughout the, badly marked furniture and damaged bath enamel which looked unhygienic - did not encourage the use of the bath. Shower head in wrong position which meant having to use towels to dry up the floor as the glass screen did not provide adequate coverage. But friendly staff and the Terrace is lovely for an nice afternoon break
