United KingdomGreat location, friendly staff and great value for money
United KingdomLocation to central London and Embankment Tube Station.
United KingdomThe bed in my room was the most comfortable I have ever slept in and the Royal Horseguards location made sightseeing in central London easy and enjoyable. The staff were all very polite and helpful and breakfast was excellent. I would definitely stay here again.
United KingdomI read a lot of negative reviews leading up to this stay but its actually a really nice hotel and the staff were all helpful. Some parts are dated yes, but it isn't a holiday Inn built in the last 10 years. It's history. Breakfast was really good, just kept coming so I'd advise going breakfast included. We used room service a couple of times. Menus easily accessible on the TV as is your bill. On ordering dinner and drinks we did get 2 £5 tray charges which seemed excessive, but the food was great. Shower was also really nice. Powerful and refreshing. All in all its a perfect central location with all the main things you'll want to see almost at your doorstep. And if you're travelling anywhere further like we did to the O2 then the tube stations are right next door. Thanks for a memorable weekend.
United KingdomStunning hotel very classy loved the room, the balcony , the view
United KingdomWe had a good spacious room with lovely garden view. The bottle of fizz and chocs were a wonderful surprise too.
United KingdomWe were given a lovely room with a view. The concierge seated us in the Lounge and very kindly bought us a pot of tea. The waiters at breakfast were delightful, actually remembered which toast we prefered and also kept some marmalade for me.
AustraliaLocation is ideal. We could walk to eye and other attractions. Hotel has character and ambiance.
CanadaI liked the breakfast but wished the orange juice had been freshly squeezed.
