    We did consider eating at the restaurant but the vegetarian options were limited. Nothing to explain that the mini bar was complimentary but we did find out by looking at the website and I telephoned reception to double check.

    We were very happy to have been upgraded and found a bottle of complimentary fizz in our room as the occasion was our 60th birthdays We liked that the mini bar contents were complimentary. The decor, soft furnishings and furniture were high quality.

    Great location and beautiful building right near the river Thames and close to theatres and lots of the great London sites. Interior design was superb with quality furnishing and decorations of the period. Friendly, helpful staff and great ambiance.

    I booked two rooms. One single for me. A twin for my two friends. My room was tiny, internal, with no real window. It only cost a few £ less than the other room, which overlooked the Thames and exuded charm. Naturally my friends were delighted, whilst I found my room lacking. I’d booked for two nights, but had word that my mum was in hospital with pneumonia. I left after one night. The hotel were unwilling to give a refund, though Booking.com (my booking agency) said that it could be negotiated.

    The hotel is a quality establishment. Lovely ambience.

    Excellent hotel with excellent staff

    - The room was connected to another room through a small (locked) door, which was weird. - There were no cotton pads/buds etc. in the bathroom. - The balcony door could not be opened for fresh air. Therefore, we opened the window above it, which was hard to reach.

    I was with my mother during my stay, and it was excellent. The location was great for tourist areas and transport. The breakfast was perfect, including the quality and variety of options. The room (Deluxe Twin) met our expectations including very nice complementary snacks, teas, and drinks. Especially the beds were very comfy. Moreover, and most importantly, the staff were cheerful and helpful in every aspect. I will definitely visit the Royal Horseguards Hotel again on our next visit.

    The windows didn't seal well, so noise from the DLR and train was a little loud. However the violinist close by was lovely to hear.

    We were in awe with this historic hotel, from the ancient marvel staircases, crystal chandeliers & grand piano... It was the epitome of history, class and beauty. The building itself is magnificent and in a great location.

    Very strange way to turn on the lights in the room. Not even the bellboy could figure it out.

    Great location, wonderful view of Thames from the room. Lovely public spaces. Also very quiet, especially given the location.

    A niggle rather than a complaint. The hotel is quite close to Charing Cross station so the rumble of earlier trains across Hungerford Bridge disturbed my wife in the mornings. We did book a river view room so to be expected really.

    Perfect location. Smart hotel with a comfortable room and excellent river view.

    Room outlook was quite dark with no view and windows that could not be opened. Breakfast staff could give a little advice when eating guests - advise that it is a self-service buffet rather than leaving guests to find out for themselves.

    Most staff (especially doorman and reception) were superbly attentive, helpful, and plentiful. Hotel looked beautiful and very luxurious. Reception staff (named Amal) was absolutely first class.
