There's a convenience store right down the street for any late-night meals needed, and the views of the Tower of London and the Tower Bridge are breathtaking! Will be staying here again.

Are you kidding me? Fantastic view of the Tower Bridge from our room. Tower of London is literally right next door. Bed, towels, pillows are all 1st class. Unfortunately, wifi is very bad. This needs attention as it is 2026.

Tesco just round the corner, small shop in the hotel (although expensive) clean room, some parts of the room slightly dated but still lovely. Amazing view of Tower Bridge. Only issue I had was the room was far too hot, air con isn’t great as you can’t set temperature but able to open windows to cool down the room.

Pretty location. The initial room I booked was a double bed with a tower view. I paid for an upgraded room with a view and needed up getting a twin bed with no view- I could only see the side of the building and a little bit of water. Room was comfortable enough, AC didn’t work but I just kept the window open and it was fine.
