8/10 Good

Lovely hotel, the rooms were on the smaller side but well maintained. Location was perfect - quiet and walkable to transport and shops.
Jenar, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We will definitely be staying again if ever in London.
Katarina, 2-night trip

Richard, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Had a great experience with staying at this beautiful hotel! VIP treatment from the check in to check out! Great location for all the major attractions within walking distance!
Floare, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location to buckingham palace, walkable to the underground. The staff were very friendly!
Lena, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Hotel is very upscale and comfortable. The staff are exceedingly nice and helpful (they significantly stepped up and helped us with a minor medical problem my daughter had upon checkin). The rooms are a smaller size comparable to other large city hotels, but are feature packed, very updated and very comfortable.
Jay, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It was excellent no complaints about anything Our best review is that we intend to return
PAUL, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent location and staff. Loved our stay.
Hang, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

My stay here was great! The only reason for not giving an excellent rating is the tiny size of the rooms. Luckily I was traveling solo, because my room was not big enough for two people. There simply isn't enough storage space or square footage- and thats coming from someone who's lived in NYC. The staff was friendly. The property is luxurious and well kept. Excellent location for scenic walks to landmarks and shopping.
Cameron, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great room, loved the bath!
Liz, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had such a pleasant stay at The Guardsman Hotel! The front desk lady was awesome. She helped carry our luggage up and even gave us a quick room tour. The maintenance guy was super quick and polite when helping us with the safety box. And the gentleman working in the restaurant was absolutely amazing. So friendly and kind, he really made our experience special. The location is unbeatable. You are just steps away from all the top tourist spots, restaurants, and shops. I will definitely be recommending this hotel to my friends when they visit London. Huge thanks to the whole team!
Daniel, 2-night trip

A very well appointed hotel a short walk from Buckingham Palace and all the high-end theaters. Staff was uber professional, from front desk, usher, and room service. Had the breakfast in the morning, and the service and food were all great. Would stay again.

Xavier, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful modern hotel in a quiet location but easily walkable to everything.
Duncan, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Close to London’s iconic landmarks

Our stay was good, overall. We didn’t have any concern - bed and pillows were comfortable, room is small but I’m sure that’s the case for most hotels in that area, love the heated bathroom floor, staff were nice and we were greeted with coffee/tea when we arrived. So close to Buckingham, Big Ben and London Eye!
Mary Joyce, 3-night trip

Great location
Robert, 5-night trip

6/10 Okay

Very disappointed that there was no bottled still water available - when we asked for still water we were asked to order on uber eats. They were not even able to provide a jug of fresh water. Appreciate their delivery had failed but as a 5 star hotel I would have expected contingencies to be in place. In fairness they did find us a bottle of sparkling wine externally so we appreciated that.
Charles, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

We were put into a room on the first floor which was above the entrance of the property and right next to the road. It was noisy even with ear plugs, a banging sound could be heard (probably the front doors below every time they were used throughout the night). Staff friendly and location convenient but wouldn’t stay again due to noise.
