We stayed in this hotel after our cruise so that we can explore London for a few days. We had a fantastic experience and booking a stay again in October after such a wonderful experience with the staff, the property, the location and the staff, the staff and the staff. They ensured we were welcome and comfortable from the moment the door of our cab opened when we arrived to the moment we left. They assisted us with booking the hop-on hop-off bus, our cab to the airport and lunch and dinner recommendations. I think we found OUR hotel in London. We are booking it for October 2024 when we come back and will be booking it again in 2025.

We chose the Guardsman because it is very close to Buckingham Palace and Westminster. The road the hotel is on is surprisingly quiet for such a central location and the hotel is discretely tucked away. It is also conveniently close to an underground station. The staff are friendly, welcoming and very helpful. Our room was not particularly large but was stylish, very modern, well appointed and comfortable. The public areas were also very comfortable. It's not the cheapest hotel in London but it is the best I have stayed in. I would definitely go back.
