I stayed here twice within the last 3 weeks what a tale of two halves - the first was a weekend getaway with my husband - we got a deal through travel zoo for a 'deluxe' room with breakfast for £119 - on arrival I was asked if we wanted to upgrade to a better room with a better view... More

I stayed here with my husband for 1 night on a short visit to London. The hotel is right at the side of Tower Bridge, the building isn't the most imposing building around but inside we were pleasantly surprised. The check in was quick but we were told the room we had booked didn't have a view (although I booked... More

Stayed here for a Saturday night theatre trip - reception very friendly, I requested a room with a bridge view when I booked as it was for my daughter's birthday and they provided this - seemed as though they just stuck an extra bed in a two bedded room but that wasn't really an issue as we didn't spend a...

Bit of a trek to get to the entrance from the tube station, but the hotel is ideally situated right on the river, 5 mins on foot from the tube station. Received a complementary room upgrade on checking in, got a gorgeous deluxe room with a river view, and a huge comfy bed. Reception and door dtaff very polite, prefessional... More

We stayed here on a Theatre Trip break that i had booked on line. The hotel itself was in a really lovely location as it was near the docks which had some really nice bars and restaurants, which was great if you do not want to pay Hotel restaurant prices!!! The room itself was clean and modern and we had... More

One night stay = everything about the hotel was excellent - nice room, great views, really friendly staff, great location. Everything, that is, apart from breakfast. Breakfast started at 7am in the Brasserie - I was in there at 0705 am and everything was cold, the bacon, sausage, beans, mushroom, egg etc. It all looked great, but a huge dissappointment... More

A quick business to trip - the Tower is where I always go - just a few minutes walk from the City. My most recent trip was as good as expected - staff are very efficient and always willing to help - free upgrade to a room overlooking the river was very welcome too. Breakfast was good too - prompt... More

This hotel is about 7 mins stroll from Tower Hill underground, and 5 mins from the DLR Gateway station to Canary Wharf. I used Fenchurch Street, 15 mins to catch a train out to Essex, 30 mins. Check In would be my only complaint it took abut half an hour. Once in my room, I had beautiful views of the... More
