I arrived around noon and the receptionist kindly arranged an early check-in without any issues, which was really appreciated. She also immediately offered tea or coffee, which was a very nice touch. The room temperature was perfect — not too hot, not too cold. Slippers and bathrobes were of very high quality, and the room itself was cozy and comfortable. Daily housekeeping was excellent.
Nothing — everything was great.
We chose the Guardsman because of its very convenient location. The teas and coffees in the room were of exceptional quality and the shower was wonderful. Everything was very stylish. The hotel was very quiet and it felt safe and secure. We especially enjoyed the comfortable seating areas in the lounge.
The lobby is very small and it felt crowded when someone was checking in.

The weather . . . :)
Love the location near St James tube station and Buckingham. Beautifully appointed rooms and very friendly staff. Can’t wait to return upon my next visit to London.
The staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was very cozy and the bed extra comfortable. The location was really good.
The green light that lit the room up at night
It was beautiful and a fantastic location, the staff are welcoming and friendly
The toilets in the property have an extremely loud flush, like unusually loud
The facilities are really nice, and the noise cancellation between walls is pretty decent. The staff was very welcoming, helpful and thoughtful.
The security, its cleanliness, and the staff.
It was a great hotel!
Clean and great staff. Upgrade for my birthday and cake
All great
Absolute best place to stay when in London. The hotel is well located next to the main tube lines, but still on a quiet street, so no noise. Rooms are very clean and comfortable and also no noise from the corridor or other rooms. Stuff was very kind and professional, appreciate quick responses and attendance.
Amazing location, beautiful suite, and attentive staff.
Perfect location for what we were doing - staff extremely welcoming and helpful
The reception area is so small and under whelming which is a great shame.
Not our first time , we stayed on October we liked Everything especially the stuff all of them , the one at the reception and the one at the restaurant, also , special thank for Ann
The location was perfect to explore all the important sites while also feeling like you're staying on a quiet, local street. I will be staying here every time I'm in London from now on!
Very good Hotel with a lot of privacy in a fantastic location and very nice internal design character/decoration. Reception personnel was very good providing high quality of services and hospitality.
The hotel is amazing, i stay here every time i visit london.
The still water is complementary only in the first night.
The location of the hotel is superb, around the corner from Victoria, Buckingham palace and St James’ park. The room was quiet so we slept well. The hotel is immaculate, and the room was well lit. Nespresso machine and kettle also in the room.
The breakfast was very expensive so we didn’t partake, especially as there was a Pret virtually next door.Broken door at the entrance made entry and exit awkward.No hooks in the room for coats, clothes in bathroom etc.
