The doorman who worked from 7.00am to 4.0pm ( he wore a flat cap to keep his bald head warm and had a salt and pepper coloured beard). He was the first person we saw as we approached the door and his welcome was so friendly. He made us feel so at home before we even entered the building. He continued to greet us so warmly every time we went out. He was the star on a very impressive hotel.

I thought i would love this hotel but unfortunately i didn’t. Hotel it is at a good location, and staff clean/fix the room everyday which is nice. My room wasn’t ready so i had to wait about 30-35 minutes, not too long of a wait but i really wanted to rest. I booked the deluxe queen room but sadly the bed was quite small for two people, i have ‘vip access’ but wasnt offered any upgrade or any benefits with it. Not sure of its because an old building but was able to hear all the noise from outside, the TV wasn’t working properly so that was a bit annoying as well. Doormen were all so welcoming which was nice as well. Overall i didn’t hate this place but didn’t love it either.

The room (deluxe double with garden view) was comfortable and although facing Embankment the traffic at night was light so did not interfere with sleep. Very powerful shower. There was no noise from other guests in the corridor. The lobby area was lovely, with a stunning floral display on a large round table. The hotel is steps away from Embankment Underground station.

The booking system was down when we arrived. I had requested rooms 213 or 212 for our 3 nights stay. Also for an early check in (I offered to pay) as we had a meal booked before our trip to the opera and wanted to get changed from our journey. Check in was delayed until 3.20pm so was even later. We were given room 212 then just as we were to collect our luggage the receptionist came running over and took the key cards back. Eventually we were allocate room 112.

I stayed at the Royal Horseguards for 7 nights. I was very impressed and would recommend this hotel. The staff are attentive and prompt. The breakfast buffet is the same everyday, and is of above average quality. The dinner I had at the hotel restaurant was great. I should also record that my 24hour flight landed at 6am in the morning, and although check-in was at 3pm, I queried whether there was the off chance my room would be ready before then. I was very thankful that per chance, it was. Thank you again!

Our room was as described and was kept spotless by housekeeping. There were nice amenitites in the room such as water kettle for tea or coffee as well as a coffee machine. The bed was very comfortable. The best part of the visit was the hotel staff. They were always ready to make you visit as pleasurable as possible. This included receptionists, housekeepers, door men/hosts Pervez and Milion, concierges, and the host in the Green Parlour in the morning, Joe. Those three men added greatly to our enjoyment during our stay. We were there for one week and will definitely stay there the next time we visit London.
