Foyer, restaurants, reception area modern. Room was clean and very comfy bed. Furniture a tad tired and worn out looking. Sadly the bathroom was very very tired and badly in need of a refurb - also at times there was a very foul smell coming from the drains/ vents. That said the location of the hotel was excellent.

The room was sooo hot we had to open the windows and get a fan to be some what comfortable. It was still stuffy and there was a smell in our room. The room was clean. Definitely more dated than the pictures looked online. The staff was all unhelpful and rude. I interacted with maybe 8 staff members and only 1 was nice to us, 1. The internet was fast, the view was phenomenal, the area was great. The hotel itself left more to be desired. We did get to eat at Vicinity restaurant and that was good . The drinks were awful. My most favorite thing was the view out of our window and walking out of our hotel to see Tower Bridge right there as well as the Thames River.

Feel this hotel is a bit run down and in need of some updating. We had to change rooms due to a number of maintenance issues. Our so called upgrade as a result was a smaller room so very cramped.
