This hotel is our staple place to stay in London! It is refined and classy. The prices are superb for the location and we always stay in the Executive King room, which is spacious and tastefully decorated. It is close to the London Eye the Thames River, you can conveniently go anywhere from here. The restaurant is wonderful, do make... More

This was our second stay at the Royal Horseguards hotel. We booked an Executive King room with a river view. Stunning views and the room was perfect. Plenty of room for our 9 year old son plus the two of us. The only problem was the noise at night from a river boat 'night club' across the Thames. It kept... More

Best location - right next to Embankment tube station - and close to trafalgar square/Charing cross. Bed was very hard - so be careful if you like soft beds.. Also if you are a light sleeper - you can hear people outside the door closing their doors. But room was clean and looks good- and again location location!

Amazing to step a few paces off Whitehall and find such an elegant street with this wonderful hotel. Adjacent is the old Liberal Club and behind the hotel the colourful Embankment Gardens. The room was an oasis of quiet - well it was an internal courtyard, well, 4m square lightwell, but nevertheless, very quiet and the quality of the room... More

Really a lovely stay. The rooms are very well appointed. Every need accommodated. The room seem to have been recently refurbished. The only negative is if you end up with an interior view room. Dark with opposite walls close enough to touch. However being a listed building there aren't many options. Still it is a lovely hotel!

The Hotel is quite well located, walking distance (5 minutes or less) from: Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden and Theatreland, Leicester Square, St James's Park, Parliament Square, London Eye, as well as Embankment and Charing Cross Tube Station. The WiFi is free, they have VERY good food which is not a common things in London hotels. The fish and chips, the... More

Great service and a beautiful hotel in the heart of London. Across the street from Scotland Yard, across the river from the London Eye, and just a short walk to Piccadilly Circus, Big Ben, and the theatre district. If you fly into Gatwick I recommend taking the express train to Victoria Station. It's a 30 minute commute running every 15... More

Stayed for two nights on the occasion of my graduation ceremony at the Royal Festival Hall (which is a short walk away). From the moment we entered the hotel we were made to feel valued customers. We had booked a deluxe double room - on checking in I asked if it was possible to have a room with a view... More

My husband and I stayed here as part of our honeymoon. As it was a special occasion, we paid a lot more for the room than we would normally pay. We did inform the hotel that it was our honeymoon and on arrival we received a complimentary bowl of strawberries dipped in chocolate. Our room had a view of the... More
