The room had an excellent view of the Tower Bridge, very walkable to local dining, Uber boat, Tube station and other sites. Hotel is a bit older, but the location was fantastic!

This hotel is in a great location right by Tower Bridge and nearby to Tower Hill tube station for getting around London. Lots of restaurants, cafes and bars nearby and the hotel bar and restaurant is also really good. We had a nice room overlooking Canary Wharf and the river. Room was clean and bed really comfy. Friendly staff also. Would definitely stay here again when visiting London.

Check in was not good. We were told to go to one of the other colleagues. The woman didn’t acknowledge us & continued to work on her computer. She left the desk & returned asking us what we required. She then stated she wasn’t doing check ins & we should go to another colleague. All other members of staff were great accommodating & welcoming. The details of the room stated aircon. There was no aircon available, we were given a cooling machine. We paid extra for a room with a view of Tower Bridge, our view was obstructed by the hotel building. The room was tired. Overall our stay was good, but we regretted paying extra for a higher price executive room with Tower View, so we were disappointed

I booked 10 rooms in total. My room I had for 2 days on 2 separate bookings but they confirmed I could stay in the same room. On returning to my room work in London, I found all my personal belongings had been removed and my room cleaned (after selecting do not disturb) I had an important dinner I wasn’t able to attend as I didn’t have my suit to wear, this out the whole trip, cause some distress. Also one of me team also reported that her toilet hadn’t been cleaned and was very dirty from whoever had last used it (poo all over) I stop in London with my team once a month, this was a trial as the location is perfect for the shard, were we work when in London. Please pass on this feedback and I’m happy to hear feedback from Tower Hotel. Simon

Entrance nice but rooms are shabby and in need of a refurb especially the bathrooms We booked too rooms and both were the same standard I also went to have a shower and the soap dispenser was even empty. Not the best sleep either as room was by the lift and could hear people having conversations late at night and early in the am. Shame as good location but let down by shabby rooms (we paid extra for bridge view rooms) and no sleep
