I was recently lucky enough to win a two night stay at the hotel at an event and used the gift for my birthday, which turned out to be my best present yet! The hotel staff and the location are absolutely fantastic, and the rooms was fabulous. The views over the Thames were too good to shut the curtains at... More

What a lovely weekend we had with this hotel. Sitting on the bank of the Thames and having a wonderful Neo-Gothic appearance, this grand hotel sits opposite the London Eye and sits in the middle of Whitehall within a stone's throw from Horseguards Parade and Trafalgar Square. It sits in such a peaceful street - as it's in the middle... More

The prices are superb for the location and we always stay in the Executive King room, which is spacious and tastefully decorated. It is close to the London Eye the Thames River, you can conveniently go anywhere from here. The restaurant is wonderful, do make... More

This was our second stay at the Royal Horseguards hotel. We booked an Executive King room with a river view. Stunning views and the room was perfect. Plenty of room for our 9 year old son plus the two of us. The only problem was the noise at night from a river boat 'night club' across the Thames. It kept... More

Best location - right next to Embankment tube station - and close to trafalgar square/Charing cross. Bed was very hard - so be careful if you like soft beds.. Also if you are a light sleeper - you can hear people outside the door closing their doors. But room was clean and looks good- and again location location!

Amazing to step a few paces off Whitehall and find such an elegant street with this wonderful hotel. Adjacent is the old Liberal Club and behind the hotel the colourful Embankment Gardens. The room was an oasis of quiet - well it was an internal courtyard, well, 4m square lightwell, but nevertheless, very quiet and the quality of the room... More

Really a lovely stay. The rooms are very well appointed. Every need accommodated. The room seem to have been recently refurbished. The only negative is if you end up with an interior view room. Dark with opposite walls close enough to touch. However being a listed building there aren't many options. Still it is a lovely hotel!
