I wanted this to be special it wasn’t. I can get round the drinks being put on my tab in the bar. Cost me £33. I did not notice this until I looked at bill after. But what really gets me is the fact the booking system at hotels.com was confusing and I booked a week ahead. The staff said don’t worry we can sort this but tonight you need to book again. So I did and paid top wack for the room. Now after Friday- Saturday and Sunday trying to either get refund or change dates they just don’t or not even interested in helping. Not great for someone that spent £500 in a day in the hotel. Not what you expect from a 5* hotel to just rip you off the mistake and say well it’s tough. Will never stay again. I am writing 3-4 reviews a day against this hotel which is fair if they don’t sort this by Friday.

Although it has the vibe of “old money” with its classic decor and luxurious public areas the rooms feel dated; my biggest annoyance was the lifts, on every occasion I found myself waiting over 5 minutes; with one occasion 13 minutes- this was consistent over 3 days so no excuse for maintenance.

We usually stay in Westminster, so we couldn’t ask for a better location than the Royal Horseguards. Located near the Thames, Charing Cross and Embankment, the hotel offers easy access to the city’s top landmarks, the London Eye, Houses of Parliament, and Trafalgar Square. We also wanted to be near the Strand for the three shows we were attending so the Royal Horseguards was perfectly situated for restaurants and west end shows. Even though its centrally located, it was surprisingly peaceful. My room was spacious and beautifully furnished, with a perfect blend of historic charm and modern amenities. The high ceilings and traditional decor made it feel grand, while the plush bed, Nespresso machine, and heated bathroom floor. We slept well every night. Staff interactions throughout my stay were first-class. The housekeeping team kept everything spotless. Staff members were warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming. The Royal Horseguards offers an elegant and comfortable stay and I would recommend to those looking for an elevated London hotel.
