The rooms are nicely appointed. Our room was quite small and the storm windows were not properly fastened. With high winds, they rattled all night and the room was uncomfortably cold. However, maintenance fixed the rattle quickly and we had a portable heater thst kept the room very cozy for the remainder of the stay Staff was excellent and the hotel lobby festive for Christmas. Would definitely stay again.

Good location, but rooms and facilities need refurbishment The hotel is well located, which is a clear positive. However, the rooms are dated and in need of refurbishment. The heating system in our room did not work at all, including the underfloor heating in the bathroom. In addition, there appeared to be an electrical issue: one of the light fixtures would switch on by itself at night and remain dimly lit (around 20% brightness), which was quite disruptive. Elevator operation was also problematic. The lifts moved in an unusual manner, and one of the three elevators seemed to be out of service. This resulted in waiting times of up to 10 minutes during peak hours, particularly for guests staying on higher floors.

Our first time in London was nothing short of amazing and a huge part of that was due to the Royal Horseguard Hotel. The staff was lovely, the room was clean, spacious and everything we needed for our stay. The location couldn’t have been better, and the bar inside the hotel was a plus.

Pervez the doorman is fantastic and deserves a pay rise! Sadly other members of the team are less good and exhibit more qualities of the Faulty Towers sitcom than an - allegedly - 5 star hotel. The hotel location is good. The hotel has had a minor refurbishment of some of the spaces in the last couple of years which is a good change. However, the rooms and corridors themselves are dates and not in a great state of repair. Very tired, with damage to room fabric and functionality. Many of the staff have a very poor level of English which adds to a shambolic approach managing requests for things like room service or for maintenance to fix room defects. Breakfast is mainly a buffet that is not that much better than a Premier Inn. If you’re coming expecting luxury you will be disappointed. If you’re coming expecting something “fine” but in a fantastic location at an OK price then this is for you.

Went for an anniversary weekend. Regretted it! - Irritating 'join our club to upgrade' email before arriving - which then didn't actually work or do anything if you clicked on the link. - Minor (but not terrible) queue at check-in - Room would have embarrassed a travel lodge at 20% of the price... cold, scruffy, and with a broken bed (see photos). - Cut my foot (only slightly, to be fair) on carpet gripper in the door way. - Not great sleep on the left hand side on the bed due to sag due broken bed frame - English skills of staff variable / not great... but did seem friendly. - Afternoon tea and room service did taste great - but was very expensive for what it was/the environment spoilt it a bit. - Poor comms; raised the non-functioning heating at 4pm and was told it would be looked at. Said we were out until 9pm. Came back at 9pm... it was not fixed, nor was there a temporary heater, nor any note. Have no idea if anything was attempted- but it certainly didn't succeeed. - Bathroom had a bath (nice) but was scruffy. Looks like there was once a TV at the end of the bath (now broken and covered with a print). - In room TV was a bit rubbish - no netflix, prime etc. IPlayer only if you signed in as yourself (no good for overseas visitor). 5% of what we paid for the weekend would have bought one with all of the above on it at working! Raised the above briefly with hotel upon leaving and they said they'd raise it with a manager. Not to my surprise, heard nothing back...

The room was nice. Staff nice enough. Not a fan of the no-view room for how much we paid. Their social media made it seem like there was a regular doorman on duty - we saw one doorman once. All other times we had to awkwardly open the heavy doors ourselves. it is an okay hotel in a nice location, but, overall we were disappointed and we will look elsewhere on our next visit.
