Great location to majority of the historical locations. The main locations are walking distance from the hotel. The view matters to me when selecting a room and I was amazed by the Tower Bridge, especially at night. My only minimal complaint was that I went to London during the heat wave and there was no AC. So my stay was a little uncomfortable. Otherwise, I would definitely book again at Tower Bridge.

Didn't have much interaction with the hotel apart from sleeping. But an excellent well maintained hotel. Was busy at the time we stayed which is always a good sign as to how well it is liked. Had a few drinks in the bar apart from that & using concierge for storing bags on last day. Excellent location, 5 - 10 minutes walk to nearest tube station. Two minutes to Tower Bridge & Tower of London. Costa Coffee & Tesco Express next door. A few pubs/restaurants within 5 minutes walk.

Excellent location, as it is within walking distance to many restaurants along the Thames, as well as the Tower and Tower Bridge, which we could see from the tiny room window. We were initially given a room so small, we could barely move around and the temperature in it was 38 C, almost 100 degrees Fahrenheit! it took several attempts to finally get the air conditioning issue resolved. The second room was bigger and had a functioning AC. They have minimal toiletries and the bathtub/shower poses a risk of falling, particularly when stepping out.

What a terrible hotel! Only good thing about it was the location and view. Rooms were dirty, dated and dangerous. Our first room had mismatched furniture, which was chipped and broken, Mould above the windows, no nets and could see into other people’s rooms and vice versa. The bathroom had smashed tiles and mould. We then asked to move rooms after complaining and were upgraded to a ‘deluxe’ this was mildly better, and had had some sort of a facelift, but was dirty and the bathroom again was dated and mouldy. This is not a 4* hotel. It needs to be shut down and completely refurbed from scratch.

Great spot, great location. The only bad part was the air conditioning in the room was more of a fan and the room was 30*C when we got into the room, so didn’t cool down much at all.

This hotel is over 50 years old and looks it. Run down and tired looking, especially the bathroom. They haven't changed anything for 50 years. There are better options in London especially for $200 !a night......look elsewhere folks.

Loved the views of the bridge & the river. Staff was very helpful, air conditioner didn’t work but they brought us a portable one which worked great. We had leftovers from a nice restaurant so they brought a refrigerator to our room. Loved that their was a bathtub in the room too.

The room was very heavily perfumed, but clean. Not a lot of room to walk with our traveling suitcases. We did upgrade, so not sure how small the non upgrade room was. Would have enjoyed the windows opening more than an inch with the heat wave and only a preset fan going, no a/c is understandable but being able to open the windows overnight could have cooled the room a bit. It was a steady 80° inside the entire stay, even with closing the curtains against the sun during the day. We did try the breakfast one morning, do not recommend.

What I like about the property is the location; the view from the bedroom was excellent. Dislikes. The fact that they turned the beds over not once during the five-night stay. The coffee machine did not work, and there was very little AC during the hot days

The only good thing I can think of from this hotel is the view from the window facing the bridge. THIS HOTEL DOESN'T HAVE AIR CONDITIONER AND IT GETS REALLY HOT!! they only had ac in the lobby. We went to the restaurant on the second floor 20 minutes before closing time and they did not let us in because they said they were closing soon… I had to have chips for dinner from the self served store. This area is super busy and a bit loud since you are facing the river walking area. I only stayed here for one night and decided to move hotels to one with AC.

No AC!! The room was so hot, they provided a desk fan, we were wet through all through the night. And when we awoke, it was just terrible. The view did not make up for the lack of AC. Also, the bathroom and the fittings are old wuth black mold on the shower fixtures around the bath, and the back of the bathroom door it was like an animal that scratched all the paint off. This building wants demolishing and a new hotel
