Excellent service and attentive staff. The terrace restaurant was beautiful and they had a great kids meal. The room was spacious and bed comfortable but there was street noise and the black out curtains didn’t cover the windows well. For the price I would consider a different hotel next time.

Staying at The Royal Horseguards was like something out of a fairytale, which just a few reality checks along the way. The hotel itself boasts old English tradition with modern day upgrades (heated bathroom floors)! The full English breakfast (included with stay) was one of the highlights of staying here! The food was divine with lots of diversity! We stayed in a garden view suite which was spacious and gorgeous, but the reality was the doors did not open so you could not enjoy the balcony and the “garden” was tree branches. I would also recommend the hotel upgrade their TVs as they had plug in chromecast devices which did not work the entire time we were there, despite telling the staff and having several people look at them. We were not in our room much so this wasn’t huge, but with the price of a stay here, it would have been nice to see it fixed properly. The mini bar (included) was also a nice touch! The only major downside was high tea- I cannot recommend enough that you do NOT do this here! It is incredibly overpriced, to start. We were led to believe the price was for the tea/ food tray. It was double that as your charged per person despite getting the same amount of tea/ food. It’s actually much cheaper at Kensington Palace (yes you heard that correctly) and with better menu options. The location was one of the best parts of this. In the heart of London, right next to Embankment station (travel by tube is incredibly easy), and across the river from the London Eye.

Buen hotel pero necesita renovación.

Reserve un cuarto doble. Al llegar era una cama individual en la cual no caben dos personas. Solicitamos cambio de cuarto y lo dieron después de un día. La siguiente Habitacion más cómoda pero le fallaba constantemente el aire acondicionado. Había que llamar a recepción. Muy mal restaurante para comer. El desayuno es variado pero no muy apetitoso y no muy fresco. Elevador no paraba en el 5 piso donde estaba ubicada nuestra habitación lo cual era un problema con maletas etc. Le falta mantenimiento y cuidado.

Ubicación central y agradable

Hotel ubicado en un lugar muy muy conveniente. Cerca de la estación de metro. El edificio antiguo es muy lindo. Es una pena que no le pongan mas cariño al hotel. El restaurante es de lo peor que comí en todo Londres. Incomible la ensalada y fish and chips. Hasta el helado de limón sabía a pintura! Los vinos mal conservados. Desayuno variado pero desabrido repetitivo. No se sentía fresco. Los elevadores todos dañados. E La habitación cómoda y limpia pero falta en detalles. Serchas rotas y ninguna cortesía en el baño. Buen detalle del mini bar gratis pero dificil reabastecimiento. Los corredores huelen mal y el hotel necesita renovación de cortinas, alfombras, mobiliario. El hotel tiene un gran potencial pero me parece una mala administración. Estuvo bien el alojamiento pues era confortable y limpia la habitación pero lo demás deja mucho que desear
