Shocker
Various issues….general condition of property, we had a tv that turned itself off and on which was reported within a couple of hours but not resolved, after 1st night the media box set itself a 6am alarm and then kept going off. Very noisy and certain members of staff rude, unpleasant and dismissive.

The Royal Horseguard Hotel was an excellent choice! The service was outstanding. We upgraded to the River View and was so pleased with the view of The Thames River and city lights outside our window. Everything from the bed linens, shower/tub combo, heated bathroom floor, bar on-site to the wonderful doorman Parzez! We walked to the National Gallery in less than 6 minutes. So location was just right! What a beautifully restored hotel in the City of Westminister. I look forward to a return trip.

It should be illegal for The Royal Horseguards to be able to call themselves a 5 star hotel. It couldn’t be further from the truth. This hotel is 3 stars at best. We stayed in the Apartment Suite. First off the hallways and elevator have a horrible musky smell. When we entered the suite we were baffled by how dirty is was. Black mold in the shower. Rug and couch so filthy it was appalling. When my husband went down to the desk to ask if we could change rooms the women told him “all the rooms are old and dirty” oh lovely, good to know! I had to put a blanket down over the couch to feel comfortable sitting on it. The TV would go off and restart by itself constantly. The water pressure was terrible. And the whole layout of the bathroom was poorly designed, with the shower door and bathroom door constantly colliding. This hotel needs a full renovation and updating. Do yourself a favor and spend your money elsewhere. Such a waste of money.
