Pleasant reception and entrance. Reception fully staffed which is often not the case with hotels now so check in and check out was quick with no queueing. All my dealings with the staff was positive, efficient and friendly. Despite the location being so close to a busy area as it was located in a quiet adjoining road. Property close to many popular London locations.

I had a lovely time staying at the Royal Horseguard Hotel. I want to give a shout out to Pervez the doorman. He was so helpful in helping get to where I needed to be. Was so nice to come back after a long day to his smile and more helpful suggestions. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great experience!
This hotel is in a great location to see all the main sights in and around London. The hotel lobby is very elegant and you are welcomed by a doorman to greet you. Checkin is really easy but does require a £100 safety deposit in case of any damages which is standard in most hotels. We decided to pick a room with the river view and was not disappointed! The view of the London eye along the River Thames was spectacular, not to mention seeing the Shard and St Paul’s Cathedral to name a few! Looked even better at night! The room itself was very cosy with a king size bed, big wardrobe, coffee machine, safe, international plugs in the wall, under floor heating for the bathroom, air con and a ‘do not disturb’ button to just name a few highlights. On our last night we decided to have breakfast delivered to the room before checkout which was delivered at the requested time, the full English breakfast cost around £29 each and it was ‘ok’ but was quite cold in some areas which was a little disappointing. Not sure with us being in the 8th floor was a factor in the food getting cold? One other slight issue was with the Aircon, worked completely fine on the first day but decided not to work the day after which made the room very chilly! But apart from that overall great experience and would definitely stay here again!

Lovely area of London to stay Clean and comfortable Would have liked some information in the room. There was a hook to hang on the door requesting room service breakfast but I was not told and did not know anything about the restaurant breakfast times or location.

Great hotel, great location!
Staff was wonderful and we really enjoyed our complimentary mini bar (water, beer, and wine). A block from Trafalgar Square and an easy walk to China Town for some of the best Chinese food we’ve ever had. Lovely view of London Eye from our window.

From first arrival to final departure, every member of staff was courteous, smiling and helpful. Lovely old building in the heart of Whitehall, ideal for London sight seeing. Sumptuous buffet breakfast set us up for the whole day. Superbly comfortable King size bed and a really powerful shower and you have everything required.
