Gem of a hotel with excellent customer service
Very new and swanky hotel a few minutes walk to Buckingham Palace, the Eye, Westminster Abbey etc. Great location. The room was richly appointed but small size wise with no view. Our room was not quite ready at check-in which was disappointing. We then had an issue with the door handle breaking off but the staff were good about fixing it right away and even gave us a fruit basket apology with a handwritten note. The complimentary water bottles, milk, coffee and tea were a nice touch.

What a gem!!!
Loved this hotel. Its appearance is so deceptive-not that there is anything wrong with it. It’s just that the interior and service are truly 5 star.

Almost 5*, a shame the air conditioning wasn’t very cool, the room was a bit stuffy and the milk wasn’t topped up despite asking. Overall it was a good stay but a little room for improvement.

Great location and great hotel!
The Guardsman was a fantastic place to stay during our family's 5 night stay in London. Just down the street from Buckingham Palace, the location was perfect for walking to the main sights and also for getting on the tube or the bus to get to other parts of the city. The hotel staff was very helpful when we needed to call a taxi and when my father in law requested an extra bed sheet. The rooms and beds were very comfortable and the breakfast was very nice as well. Thank you!
