Latest 5 reviews of Royal Horseguards (A Guoman Hotel)
Great Location
Two night stay over a weekend. Location is superb, very close to the tube. It a short walk to some decent pubs and resturants. 10 mins. walk from the Strand and another 5 or 10 mins. to Covent Garden with everything that has to offer. Easy walking along to the Houses of Parliament and across the river from the London Eye. Really can't praise its location enough.
Our room a basic deluxe room had no view but it was very nice. Well furnished, everything you could want, excellent flat screen T.V. built into a unit which also had a docking station for an i-pod. The bathroom also had a t.V. built into the wall over the bath. First time I have seen that. First time I have had a shower whilst watching the T.V.
This really is anice hotel and will look to return some time if the price is right.

Great! Hotel. Very Courteous Staff
Great hotel.
We stayed for 7 days with everything perfect. Our friends recommended this hotel to us. The hotel is in the business district so don't expect much night life. However, pubs & the tube are all close by.
The all of the staff were professional & courteous except for 2 persons. These two exceptions are not deal breakers in any way as I would definately return.
They are:
(1) the evening bartender - OK but you don't get a warm, fuzzy feeling from him.
(2) the morning breakfast woman-too loud. The majority were reserved, quiet & quick to respond.
If you get confused trying to research the perfect London hotel, stop right here, choose the Royal Horseguards and enjoy.
Enjoyable experience, fabulous location
We stayed at the Royal Horseguards for two nights, after booking a last minute executive room through rates to go for 160 pounds a night. The stay was great, the only negative thing happened on our arrival when the receptionist claimed that we had to pay twice the amount. We talked to the relationship manager (a very nice lady) and she promised to take care of it the next day in the morning (as we arrived quite late and she couldn’t call anyone to verify our booking), so we just checked-in. The next day, she called us in the morning to inform us that our booking information was correct, as opposed to theirs. What had happened was that somebody who takes care of the bookings entered the total amount as the charge for one night.
As for the actual accommodation, the room was spotless, the same goes for the bathroom with a flat-screen TV above the bathtub, separate shower and heated floor, all seemed brand new. When we got to our room, we found a tray of chocolate-dipped strawberries to welcome us, what a nice detail! The room was large enough with intimate lighting and facing a calm street, very quiet. A chambermaid knocked on the door shortly after our arrival to give us an evening newspaper and some mint chocolates and to ask us whether we wanted our bed turned down – we were a bit surprised by that as we had never even heard of such a service – but no, we did without.
Breakfast was nice full English but given the high expectations one may have after having seen one of their rooms it was not 5*, probably not worth paying if not included in the price, though this seems to be true for quite a few of the hotels in London. Overall though, a very enjoyable experience!
Great Location
We arrived on Election Day (5/1/08) and the beginning of a Bank Holiday weekend. The front desk said they were totally booked even though we made our reservations back in March.
They let us stay in the Egyptian Suite (at no extra charge) til our room was ready the next day. Then we were moved to room 832 which was a good size room with a king-sized bed. The downside to this room was the view of the fire escape and they couldn't turn off the heat . The outdoor temperature for the entire 8 days we were there was the upper 70's.......so the room was like an oven even though they gave us a fan. This was our second stay at the Royal Horseguards and we will definitely return in the future. The place is immaculate, the restaurant staff are very nice and the location is perfect.
Excellent hotel and a great location
Having stayed at this hotel previously (on many occasions), I cannot recommend it more highly. The rooms have been renovated, good plumbing (for those of you who know old British hotels, you'll recognise the significance of this), great room temperature control, excellent bathrooms with heated floors, flat screen TV on the wall overlooking the tub, separate shower stall and quite large. Nice comfortable expensive towels, bathrobe, slippers and...an umbrella in the closet.
The best rooms overlook the Thames and the London Eye - followed by those overlooking the street. The least desirable rooms face an interior courtyard (if that's what it is) but nonetheless are still very plush and comfortable.
The breakfast buffet is excellent, especially if you like a "full English". The sausages, eggs, hash browns, black pudding, bacon (real stuff, not the cheap streaky variety), beans, mushrooms, cooked tomatoes, assortment of fruit, breads, cheeses and cold cuts are superb - sufficient in quantity (if you so wished) to last you till dinner.
If there is a down side, it is the price, but for London it is to be expected. Everything else, including the superb location (on the doorsteps of West End Theatres, Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square, The Strand, Soho and Oxford Street) make this a great hotel,
