After a long and tiring journey, we finally arrived at The Royal Horseguards. I had called a month in advance to request a change to my reservation, but unfortunately, there was a miscommunication between Expedia and the hotel, and the change was not properly recorded. Thankfully, Jenny at the front desk — part of the wonderful team at The Royal Horseguards — stepped in and did everything she could to help. Her determination and willingness to assist were truly outstanding. Due to the mistake made by Expedia, we almost had no place to stay during Easter Weekend, but thanks to Jenny and Manager Amin, the issue was resolved, and we were not left without accommodations. Not only did they fix the issue, but they also kindly sent champagne and desserts to our room while we waited about an hour for everything to be finalized — a thoughtful touch that turned a stressful situation into a memorable experience. Thank you, Jenny! We truly appreciate everything you did for us. We look forward to seeing you again soon and will be calling the hotel directly to make all of our future bookings!

We had a great experience at The Royal Horseguards. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The hotel is located in a perfect area—everything we wanted to see was within walking distance. The included breakfast buffet was very good, and a nice surprise was that the mini bar in the room was free. The only downside was that, like many European and Asian hotels, there wasn’t a fan or window in the bathroom. Other than that, everything was excellent. We’d definitely stay here again.

Great Stay

For the moment of arrival the checkin out, the hotel staff were brilliant. Very welcoming and accommodating as we arrived early (10:30am) - expecting simply to drop our bags off - instead they swapped us to a room that was ready with a better view so we could get settled in. The doorman was class, top guy who set the tone for the stay. Breakfast was also great plenty of choice as you’d expect but we were particularly pleased with the quality of the cooked food- for us it was all cooked as we liked it. The location for us was brilliant as we were going to the Lyceum theatre to watch the lion king and then into town to eat at a local steak house. So everything was super easy to get too as the Embankment tube station is 3/4min walk away.

Feeling disappointed

For a 5 star hotel we were disappointed, it seemed very disjointed where staff in breakfast just sat you down and that was it.day 3 we discovered there was a breakfast menu and not only buffet, in all fairness when I ordered eggs Benedict they were fantastic. We sat in the bar on 2 of our 4 nights and it really felt that we were not wanted there, on both occasions left after a short period. Location fantastic. Evening restaurant menu limited but what we had was good. Shame the couple sitting next to us were not staying in the hotel were paying half the price of the evening meal (groupon voucher)
