Location, location, location! You just can't go wrong with this place. Driving or doing ride-share is not as easy as we have in the States. When you can walk to all the touristy places - that's the key and this place is just perfect for first-time London visits.

Beautiful place. And the bed made me feel like I couldn’t feel my body. Wonderful bed. Some of the service was a bit lacking: staff not hailing cabs, giving drivers our destination, closing the cab doors.

The Royal Horseguards Hotel was in a great location close to Trafalgar Square , The British Gallery and Whitehall and a comfortable walk to the City of Westminster and Buckingham Palace. The staff were friendly and helpful. We felt very much at home during our stay.

I cannot believe how fortunate I was to have selected this hotel—it has everything one could want with visiting a city: - A breakfast buffet (it’s worth the added expense) - Beautiful building (with an incredible history) - Close to a metro system (The Tube!) - Walking distance to several locales (too long to mention) - And just fantastic service (a towel warmer?!!) If I am lucky to visit London a second time, THE ROYAL HORSEGUARDS HOTEL will be now my home away from home.
