Nicely situated, great history

This hotel is wonderfully situated, and has a lot of history. The staff were wonderful & so helpful & friendly. For the cost ($600 a night after taxes & fees) I would have expected breakfast to be included; the room furniture is a bit outdated for the cost, & the towel warmer & floor warmer didn’t work, but the room was comfortable & I liked that anything in the mini bar was complimentary.

They placed us in a room that was so rundown. The carpet was soaking wet when we entered the room from the shower in the bathroom. There was a fake window with a ridiculously bright light that the shades couldn’t block out. I have stayed in this hotel before in a lovely room but this room was unacceptable.

What a wonderful experience. We were treated like royalty. Such friendly staff. On the day of our departure there were protests so finding a cab was difficult. The doorman walked us several blocks away and spent 20 minutes trying to flag one down for us. Finally he gave up and walked us to the underground and literally accompanied us to our subway car so we wouldn’t miss our train

The Royal Horseguards hotel was well located in central London with easy access via bridge to West End, Buckingham, and Covent Garden. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The view from the bridge of Westminster and the London Eye were unexpected highlights this time. Very walkable. The tube station is across the street with lots of connections at Embankment. Great stay!

I was checked into a room with a disappointing view. The hotel itself feels quite outdated and lacks spaciousness throughout — the elevators and hallways are very narrow, and accessibility for wheelchairs or strollers is limited. There is no on-site parking available, which may be inconvenient for some guests. On a positive note, the location is excellent — centrally situated and within walking distance of many attractions. The staff were generally wonderful and accommodating; however, one manager (of Asian descent) was unwilling to assist with a room change for a better view. Overall, my stay was satisfactory but could have been improved with better facilities and more attentive service from management.
