Wonderful

Great hotel. Old, historic, and in good shape. The breakfast was done via buffet with high quality food but the staff couldn’t keep up with the patrons so half of the buffet items were empty. Would stay again and would aim for a non-peak breakfast time.
Great location and we were delighted with an upgrade to a garden view room which could be renamed Awesome London Eye view room. Cosy and lovely room with everything needed for a luxurious night away in London. We will be booking again.
Lovely hotel and room overlooking river and London eye.

Never again
We have had music blasting for the past 4 hours. We were told the event would end at midnight. It’s still going at 12:15am. It’s rude that this is still happening and nothing is being done by the hotel.
Every aspect of our stay was superb. In particular the service at check in and the attentiveness of the staff was first class. The check in clerk was lovely, I didnt get his name but he was so helpful and welcoming, it was a great start to our trip.

The hotel is in a perfect area of London. Easily walkable to Big Ben, Westminster, London Eye, Trafalgar Square etc. Across the street from a tube station.
I Found the Royal Horseguards a gem in the heart of London. Very friendly reception team greeted me. Room was clean and warm. Breakfast was excellent, with a wonderful selection of items to choose from. I would definitely stay here again.
The hotel was located within a lot of the locations that I wanted to see. The room was very nice for a solo traveler and the staff was very friendly and accommodating.
My experience at Royal Horseguards was simply wonderful in no small measure due to the outstanding calibre of every single member of staff irrespective of the role. There are in my opinion only positives to note. I will only ever stay at Royal Horseguards when visiting London in the future.
The Royal Horseguards is housed in an old building which probably needs some renovation. Nevertheless it provides good accommodation in an excellent location. Promoting the rooms with a river view as a premium product has one drawback, the hotel’s proximity to the Hungerford railway bridge into Charing Cross station. Trains rumble over the bridge from early morning to late at night. I used ear plugs to get to sleep and they did the job for me. The windows aren’t double glazed and in my room didn’t completely close. Otherwise I enjoyed my stay and would return, perhaps to a room away from the river.
