Requested a high floor but was on the 1st. Self check in not good customer service and more suited to bidget hotels. Check out did not ask if a good stay. Did not get told about a wedding on sat night which prevented sleep. Room was dusty. Location, views, lobby and some staff were good.

Fantastic hotel in an amazing location with wonderful staff, let down by no toiletries other than huge plastic bottles of soap bolted to the walls, mini bar not stocked, and no tea making facilities. Great Nespresso machine but no sugar and no milk. Two bottles of water provided. Not enough.

Location great, room was great with a lovely river view but breakfast wasn’t a great experience. Split across various rooms and corridors, all felt very disjointed. Asked for a different table after being seated in a small room that was hot and stuffy, moved to another small room which was very noisy. Food stations positioned along a corridor so hard to get around with people trying to get breakfast and others coming and going

Amazing location and views of the gorgeous tower bridge. Staff very friendly. Actual rooms need an update especially the bathrooms. The walls are also very thin and you can hear everyone. I would stay again just for the views and location.
