The hotel offered a Deluxe room with a 'city view'; while the view was limited, the room itself was lovely, clean, and modern. The staff, especially the doormen, were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the stay delightful. The service was consistently warm, friendly, and helpful, with employees going above and beyond. Its location near Embankment Place and the Thames was superb for accessing attractions like Trafalgar Square and historic landmarks. The dining experience, though a bit pricey and lacking finesse in breakfast, did not overshadow the overall positive impression of the stay.

Staying at The Royal Horseguards was a delightful experience overall. The location is absolutely perfect, offering stunning riverside views and easy access to iconic spots in London. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff and thoughtful amenities. On the downside, the room I stayed in was initially cold, and the heating system was a bit tricky to figure out. Despite this, the unique turret room with breathtaking views made up for it.

The hotel has a wonderful location, right across from the South Bank and just two minutes from Embankment, making it very convenient for exploring the main sites like London Eye and Westminster. The rooms, although with some issues like overcharging for breakfasts, are equipped with fantastic underfloor heating in the bathrooms. The service stands out positively with friendly evening room attendants and great breakfast choices. However, there are some disappointments like the dining experience and the lack of a variety of vegan options. Overall, the location is fantastic, the service is very good, but improvements could be made in the dining offerings.
