The Royal Horseguards

This is 2 minutes walk to Embankment tube station and is also located near many tourist spots (London Eye, Houses of Parliament etc.). Good for business travel, with excellent facilities. Very friendly staff.

Stayed here for 2 nights via booking.com. Room all ok with a couple of niggles; tv was impossible to watch BBC1 due to a poor signal. Reported it twice and then after their engineer checked it he said they are in the process of changing satellite dishes. The other channels seemed to work fine. A good point was that the mini bar is complimentary- the bad bit was that it wasn’t refilled - a small bottle of beer and a small white wine - for the 2nd night before I asked. As expected as it’s complimentary the mini bar is not fully stocked with a range of spirits or the more expensive drinks but just water, coke, a couple of soft drinks 2 bottles of beer and 2 small wines, 1 red, 1 white, a small bar of chocolate and a bag of crisps. This complimentary mini bar was appreciated. Our room, 716, was fine but the outlook was into a void that was really grotty and the windows needed cleaning. Don’t book breakfast on line but wait until you get there because they sell breakfast vouchers at reception which are about £8 cheaper at £18 each. The breakfast buffet choice was very good with the exception that you have to ask the waiters for toast. Will happily stay here again. If you found this review helpful I would very much appreciate a helpful vote.

We stayed at this hotel for one night on the 6th October (shame - we would have loved to have stayed for much longer) as a special joint birthday present. Our room was 512 which looked across the Thames to the London Eye and the Shard - such a wonderful view that we did not draw the curtains all night! The room itself was a real delight, full of character which matched the quality of the Hotel. We would also thank all the staff we encountered, in particular the receptionist who went out of her way to make sure our stay was special - even arranging a complimentary fruit basket. Thank you so much.

Very nice hotel in great location but the room looked directly onto a brick wall making it very gloomy. The room itself was very large and quite well-appointed, albeit a little old-fashioned. Nice mood lighting.

Without exception the staff were courteous and helpful. It is a delight to be greeted properly and simply nothing was too much trouble! Particular mention should be made of Richard the head concierge, an incredibly helpful and knowledgeable gentleman.
