Well positioned for the underground and a few minutes walk to Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square, Soho and Covent Garden. Room was small but comfy. There was a coffee machine with pods but no sugar or cream and no tea making facilities.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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.

Poor service, not at all 5 stars, not one person offered to help bring bags to the room after arriving or at check in. Many amenities were missing from the room including a hair dryer. Fire alarm was going off during stay as well. Elevators were disgusting and smelled of smoke. Regret booking this hotel very much, not at all worth the price and will not be returning or recommending.
