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
The staff went beyond
We stayed one night in The Royal Horseguards that night I got sick. At 2.00 the night receptionist went out to buy Imodium for me. Thanks to him I could sleep for a few hours that night. I didn't even have to pay for it. 'We are here to take care of our guests', was the answer. I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you.

Staff are snobs and you are dirt.
This is not as they describe it and I wonder if any of their reviews are real. The furniture gives you slivers because it is in such bad condition and the mini bar in the deluxe room consists of a bag of stale popcorn and 2 cans of coke, one of which has an artificial sweetener that is being investigated in my country back home.

Glitchy room
We have been regularly staying at Horseguards for around 5 years and always enjoy the location and comfort of this hotel. Unfortunately this time wasn't so good. We were given a free upgrade on check in, which was lovely. When we reached the room, we turned on the tap in the sink and it wouldn't turn off, meaning lots of hot water going down the sink. We couldn't get an answer on the phone so we went down to reception and they logged the problem. We did have to go down again about 30 mins later as we were worried about getting out for our reservations. A maintenance man then arrived and fixed the problem. When returning back from our day, in the evening we tried to turn the TV on, but got nothing. We called reception and they sent someone up who tried their best but realised that there was no connection to the WiFi and therefore would need resetting the next day, we were only staying one night. When going to bed one of the side wall lights would dim but would not turn off completely, we ended up taking the bulb out, it was too late to call again. On check out we were then told the upgrade charge had been added to our room, which we pointed out was supposed to be free. The receptionist then took the details of all the problems with the room and apologised. I would like to point out that all staff were friendly and helpful. We do pay a lot of money to stay in this hotel and rightly so but do feel we didn't get what we paid for on this occasion.
