Definitely NOT quiet. Our room was shaking and lights flickering from the loud music level of the wedding held there. We were furious when they told us just two more hours (midnight). Why put anyone but wedding guests in rooms affected by a wedding venue? Wedding income prioritized over hotel guests. If you value sleep look elsewhere.

My room faced the garden and it was LOUD til late night hours due hotel’s restaurant patio, garden activities, and a docked party boat in the river. Elevator was VERY slow and became a running joke amongst the guests I encountered. My room was stuck at 82 degrees Fahrenheit, and had to open the windows at night to become somewhat comfortable. Bed was on wheels and was super sensitive - I sat on it and it moved about 2 feet sideways. Maintenance had to remove them because there were no brakes.

Everything about this hotel is exceptional! We were treated like royalty from the minute we arrived with the lovely front desk staff searching for the best room with a view for us to the complimentary bottle of Sangiovese that arrived minutes after we had settled in. We had an amazing room overlooking the gardens with a view of the London eye. Complimentary mini bar and a super comfortable bed meant our four day stay in London was perfect! You cannot fault the staff here for their hospitality and friendliness. We have stayed at The Royal Horseguards many times when we’ve visited London and, having tried other hotels in the same category, come back here time and again for the service and luxury the hotel offers. The location here is second to none. You can literally walk everywhere within minutes! Covent Garden, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben etc all within easy walking distance and, if you need to go anywhere further, the Embankment tube is right across the street! If you have time, please make sure to dine on the Terrace at least once during your stay. It is simply divine on a summers evening, with twinkly lights and, again, impeccable service and food. We’ll be back in London again next month for more pampering and indulgence and can’t wait for another stay at this gorgeous hotel.

The hotel is a historical one in a popular upmarket area. The Door men exceptional. The room we were given instead of our twin room was not 5 star quality. The windows you could not see out of and it did not have a bath tub as the pictures showed. However the bed was very comfortable. They were supposed to bring snacks each night but they did not and I had to ring them for the snacks but gave up doing this as they did not make you feel welcome. When I said our room did not have a bath they othered some bar snacks which was the same they should have brought every night. We did not have breakfast included and when we went to have breakfast after being told by the front desk it would be 19 pounds, the lady at the restaurant argued with us and said it was 30 pounds. They did end up letting us have breakfast for 19 pounds. The breakfast was very nice. On the last day we asked about a late check out and they would allow to 12.00 free of charge but every hour after that 20 pounds. Felt the hospitality could have been better in some areas of the hotel.

Not a 5 star hotel.

Service was poor, only one bar open, no reason given other than, ‘use the outside bar’ - staff were rude, rooms were tired and not 5 star condition, lifts terrible, tried to be charged for services not received, bags lost on arrival far from 5 star. Amazing location and history is the only thing going for the hotel - extremely underwhelmed.
