My wife and I stayed at The Royal Horseguards for over a week in early July 2009. Simply put a wonderful experience that exceeded our expectations. I have stayed in other hotels in London, some at higher and some at lower price points, and this hotel far exceeded any prior experience. Location, comfort, quality, service and attention to detail are just some of the words that express our experience. One closing remark. We walked by more than a few hotels during our stay that competed for our business prior to selecting The Royal Horseguards. In all cases my wife and I often said - Nice hotel, but we are glad we chose The Horseguards - really!!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed the hotel. The room was large, quiet and comfortable. Food was excellent, and staff very accommodating. The location is central, and convenient to transportation. I highly recommend it.

This hotel was very centrally located. Service and accommodations were very good, clean and comfortable. Anything lower than Superior room is small. They upgraded us without requesting and without additional charge (not sure why). Would highly recommend for the price and location.

This hotel is ideally situated on the Thames River within walking distance of shops, restaurants and theaters. I had a very nice large room with a river view and a very large bathroom with a separate shower. The restaurant has great food with the best lobster bisque I've ever tasted. The room was clean and well maintained. My only complaint is that when I arrived there were no wash cloths in the bathroom and was told I had to wait until the next day to get one. Overall, I liked the hotel and would definitely stay there again.

Too many things to list on what went wrong. Stayed in the Two Story Suite, it was the only thing that was nice. The staff is anything but professional, customer service is non-exsistant. The staff could care less if your there. I've had better service at McDonalds. They need to train their staff on interacting with customers.
