The rooms are nicely appointed. Our room was quite small and the storm windows were not properly fastened. With high winds, they rattled all night and the room was uncomfortably cold. However, maintenance fixed the rattle quickly and we had a portable heater thst kept the room very cozy for the remainder of the stay Staff was excellent and the hotel lobby festive for Christmas. Would definitely stay again.

Good location, but rooms and facilities need refurbishment The hotel is well located, which is a clear positive. However, the rooms are dated and in need of refurbishment. The heating system in our room did not work at all, including the underfloor heating in the bathroom. In addition, there appeared to be an electrical issue: one of the light fixtures would switch on by itself at night and remain dimly lit (around 20% brightness), which was quite disruptive. Elevator operation was also problematic. The lifts moved in an unusual manner, and one of the three elevators seemed to be out of service. This resulted in waiting times of up to 10 minutes during peak hours, particularly for guests staying on higher floors.

Our first time in London was nothing short of amazing and a huge part of that was due to the Royal Horseguard Hotel. The staff was lovely, the room was clean, spacious and everything we needed for our stay. The location couldn’t have been better, and the bar inside the hotel was a plus.
