The location was excellent, with its close proximity to the Embankment Underground metro station (3 min. walk) and various tourist attractions. I found the staff to be both polite and friendly. In addition, the breakfast buffet was excellent. I also enjoyed delicious lunch and dinner at the restaurant, and the food and drinks at the bar were great.

Wonderful experience at the Royal Horseguards! Wonderful staff! Wonderful accommodations! Wonderful restaurants! The “Full English” breakfast buffet was amazing! Definitely recommended getting the breakfast included option. All staff at this hotel were excellent!! Location is absolutely perfect!! Literally across street from underground station… Big Ben, Parliament, Westminster Abbey, London Eye, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace… all these spots are like 1-2 miles from hotel. Great spot!! Be back to Royal Horseguards for sure! Top Shelf establishment!!
