As others have reported, this is indeed an excellent hotel in the central area of London. My spacious room looked across the Thames at the London Eye and Waterloo Bridge. The room provided a full range of amenitities, a lock-box, and coffee and tea services. The only warning I would make in this regard is to accept the porters offer... More

We booked the HorseGuards through an internet booking agent, and after calling the Hotel myself to make sure the details and room requirements were correct, we had a fantastic stay. The location, and views were second to none....my room overlooked the London eye, and all other local landmarks.the hotel inside is amazing, with the rooms being very plush and modern,... More

Stayed here for one night with my husband when we came to London to see Legally Blonde at the Savoy Theatre (which was amazing, btw). We upgraded to an Executive room (I think) which was spacious and full of amenities. IPod dock and 4 different pre-set lighting effects were a favourite of mine. I didn't quite understand why we'd need... More

We arranged a family trip to London at the last minute. British Airways had a great package which placed us at the Royal Horseguards in late December. The rate was terrific and as a result, we were surprised by th opulence of the hotel and our rooms.We had great views of the Thames, overlooking the London Eye. Breakfast was included.... More

The room was chock full of amenities including heated bathroom floor and a tv in the bathroom. They also stock the room with spare toothbrush, razor, sewing kit etc so great for the traveller who leaves... More

Visited London 28th until 30th Jan 2012 - stayed 2 nights at the Royal Horseguards, celebrating hubby's b'day. The foyer was wow with a a welcoming open coal fire. We were given a room on the fifth floor looking out to the Thames. Whilst the room was clean and staff could not be faulted; we have been spoilt by hotels... More

My wife and I managed to get a good deal in this hotel and the only concern was that I found it hard to reconcile with a five star hotel. I needn't have worried - this was quite simply one of the best hotels I have been in and even our standard room was excellent. From the heated flloors and... More

We stayed for 2 nts over the 21/22 Jan weekend and had an a brilliant time. I'd agree with all the positive reviews already on here....location is superb and while it's really central and in easy walking distance of a lot of londons attractions, it seemed to be in a really quiet spot which was lovely after being in the...

A catalogue of errors resulted in a very disappointing and very tiring stay - we won't be returning. 5 star? - Surely not. We were positioned in an internal room with air conditioning units outside making a terrible din outside, we obviously complained and were shown two more rooms with the same issues, however embarrassed by the bags and concierge...
