Everything about our stay with The Royal Horseguards was top-notch! Our view of the London Eye from our balcony was delightful, and our interactions with the staff was always very pleasant and helpful. The hotel's central location made it easy to walk to nearly all of our destinations, shops, restaurants, and the underground.

We enjoyed the room. However when my wife got into bed the duvet was marked and dirty. We reported it and they changed it in the morning. No offer of compensation like even a breakfast. Furthermore there was every irrelevant TV channel even loads of kids station but no more than 1 sport channel. The masters golf was on and I had to go to a pub to watch it. Sorry but these are basics of a good hotel experience. The staff didn’t have a clue about what was on their tv. Breakfast was 25 pounds per person. Not bad but I felt for that price I’ve had way better. Otherwise the hotel was pleasant and comfortable. Situated in a very good spot that is central the everything.

Great location, tube station 2 mins walk, all the usual tourist nit like royal residences, government faculties and houses or parliments all within leisurely 15 min walks. Theatre district very close by including Covent Garden, Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square. The Thames is on the doorstep and walk in either direct you will find something if interest. Hotel staff are great from the moment you are welcomed from the front door to when you leave. Great place to base yourself if you are spending a few days in the capital.
