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!

This was a great find in Westminster. I had no trouble getting around London by Uber, foot or catching the tube from this location. I will agree with other travelers that the rooms were a bit small but I didn’t find it an inconvenience. The street is very busy as well and there were busses driving by all day. Thankfully at night it was very quiet. The one issue I found, was the lack of ease in finding the hotel entrance. There was no grand sign on the building. I may be wrong, but I think there was just the door with small signage. So if you don’t know what you’re looking for you will walk right past it. Upon arriving you need to buzz in and then you’re greeted by the amazing staff. You’re offered a drink during check in and the porter takes you to your room and gives you a tour. I found my sleeping arrangements to be very comfortable. There is a Nespresso machine in the room and they do give you one free bottle of still water and milk in the mini bar. I was thankful for the safe in the room. Unfortunately I did not explore the breakfast options in the morning and I don’t know why I didn’t try dinner. Checking out was easy and I was given the option to store my luggage while I made my last errands around London. I was under the impression that they had an airport shuttle service that was offered but I was informed they would help acquiring a car service, cab or Uber. I ordered my Uber myself. I really enjoyed my stay at The Guardsman and highly recommend it.
