First time London visit - great location!

Our stay at the Royal Horseguards was lovely! The hotel is well managed and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. We did have to wait a small while because our room was not available but an alternative room (perhaps slightly nicer) was offered. The location was great - walking distance to many key attractions. The neighborhood was nice. We would definitely stay again!

AMAZING hotel and location

We had a lovely stay at the Royal Horseguards. The service was excellent, the facilities clean and spacious. The best part was the location! Just a quick walk to major sites and tube stop, yet so quiet. It felt like a world away! We will definitely be staying here again on future London trips.

Happy

This place has been the highlight of traveling the UK. The entire staff (less the one front desk gal that directs you to the consiege on a question she could have answered) makes you feel so welcome. Great location.
Thomas, 2-night trip

Great stay!

Absolutely the best location. Lots of local history, beautiful buildings, close to everything! The room was great, really really quiet and well appointed. Bedding was very comfortable. Make sure to have breakfast on the patio which faces a park and the river. Really deserves to be a 9.5 or better!
