The staff was friendly, available and present to possible requests. The rooms were spacious, comfortable (temperature controlled, comfortable beds, luxuriant bath/shower) and quiet. The included breakfast had delicious, varied, and plentiful choices each morning. The location allowed easy access to the Embankment tube station as well as short walking access to many London sight-seeing locations: London Eye, Trafalgar Square, Downing Street, Horse Guards Museum, etc. I'd recommend The Royal Horseguards to friends and family.

I loved this hotel. If I ever returned to London, will definitely stay here again. The staff were lovely. Very welcoming. I got a separate room for my grandfather, and they were able to accommodate his room next to mind, and even said it was the best room he had stayed at during our entire European trip. The breakfast buffet breakfast was delicious. The hotel was within walking distance to multiple locations. Made it very easy!

After a long and tiring journey, we finally arrived at The Royal Horseguards. I had called a month in advance to request a change to my reservation, but unfortunately, there was a miscommunication between Expedia and the hotel, and the change was not properly recorded. Thankfully, Jenny at the front desk — part of the wonderful team at The Royal Horseguards — stepped in and did everything she could to help. Her determination and willingness to assist were truly outstanding. Due to the mistake made by Expedia, we almost had no place to stay during Easter Weekend, but thanks to Jenny and Manager Amin, the issue was resolved, and we were not left without accommodations. Not only did they fix the issue, but they also kindly sent champagne and desserts to our room while we waited about an hour for everything to be finalized — a thoughtful touch that turned a stressful situation into a memorable experience. Thank you, Jenny! We truly appreciate everything you did for us. We look forward to seeing you again soon and will be calling the hotel directly to make all of our future bookings!

We had a great experience at The Royal Horseguards. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The hotel is located in a perfect area—everything we wanted to see was within walking distance. The included breakfast buffet was very good, and a nice surprise was that the mini bar in the room was free. The only downside was that, like many European and Asian hotels, there wasn’t a fan or window in the bathroom. Other than that, everything was excellent. We’d definitely stay here again.
