Great location

The room was comfortable but a bit dated. The bathroom needs refurbishing. There was rubbish in the soap tray and despite staying for 2 nights and having room service , they were still there when we left. There are coffee and tea making facilities and also 2 bottles of water. There is a safe which is also free of charge. I would suggest checking in online as there were long queues at the desk. Great location for the tower etc. Food and drink is very expensive so I would suggest eating somewhere around the hotel . There was a strange humming noice outside our room (172) all night which was a bit annoying but didnt stop us from sleeping. I think it is overpriced but I guess you are paying for the location.

We did not have a good experience. We did not have a working refrigerator or air conditioning in our room. The bed slanted to the side to the extent that when I reached to answer my phone I rolled out of bed and hit my head on the nightstand. We could not even get BBC or other news on our television set. It took two days to get a lightbulb replaced. We could not get bills changed into small bills for tips. Location was good.

We stayed here initially for 3 days. Our room was on level 2 adjacent to building works that were said to commence no earlier than 9am but the first hammer blow was at 8am. I suggested to a male at reception they move us, but his flippant was, we have to do work. A subsequent discussion with a young woman on our second pre booked stay was why didn’t you ask to be moved? We did!

Friendly helpful staff and hotel is in perfect location. Room could do with upgrading, shower over bath not ideal and not to have fridge in room was disappointing. Breakfast very expensive add on but there are lovely places around the dock to eat at half that price.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room I was allocated on the 6th floorwas undergoing reburbishment and several items needed significant improvement such as bathroom tile, My bed was a double but had a king size pillow top, the tissue box holder was properly attached to the wall the heated rail for towels wasn’t working, the cold earer fauscet in the bathroom was inopersble so I had to brush my teeth in near scalding water. I would add that I have been staying at this hotel for many years and the room standards have definitely slipped. I stayed at this hotel a few weeks back on the 3rd floor and it was even worse. I know the building is now aging but I’m surprised that Clermont would allow rooms in such a dismal condition from being rented out.

Thistle has just taken over this property and so hopefully this review will not apply soon. The mattresses and pillows need replacing and the hotel was far too hot and with no ability to change the thermostat in the room, But to set against that the location is fantastic the room servicing was prompt and efficient there was a nespresso machine providing good coffee and a complimentary mini bar with a gin and tonic a beer a few soft drinks and water, The views were of the bridge or St Katherines Dock and its a 10 minute walk to the Tower Hill tube station.
