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.

Have just spent three nights at the Royal Horseguards in London and were so looking forward to it after our previous trip. We were sadly very disappointed by the room allocated to us and a refusal to move when the window looked on to a stairwell with a fan buzzing all night. It was an incredibly hot few days which did not help the stifling atmosphere in a tiny basement like room. Inspite of offering to pay to change or upgrade rooms I was told there was noting available and we would be advised when something became free. On our last night my husband requested a few hours later for check out and enquired about the lack of communication regarding the room change and was told that we could now move which was pointless. The hotel is in a wonderful location however it is always very disappointing when one has high expectations after a previous visit to be let down

Excellent location, a 2 minute walk from Embankment tube station with taxis outside. Friendly and courteous staff. An old historical hotel with class and comfort.

Iconic Hotel in the heart of westminster with about 20 mins walk to all famous landmarks. Good Breakfast , polite and well trained staff , especially the porters and concierge. Reception can get a bit busy at peak times. Go for the 30 meter square rooms if you can as the smaller rooms seem very small. Nice terrace bar . Wi fi is good - the TVs could do with upgrading to provide netflix etc. Generally very clean and presentable but some cosmetic attention needed in places.
