It was absolutely freezing in the room; asked several times for a heater - one was there but to honest a hamster on a wheel would give off more heat. Had to have a second duvet which made it slightly better but could actually see my breath in the room. No help from staff, just kept getting told I had a heater. Would not recommend on this basis which is a shame as others wise hotel was quite good

This was my second time here at the Tower hotel I chose it due to is location and easy access to most places of interest for me. The rooms are still outdated but neat and clean. Comfortable beds and bedding with staff ever willing to assist. I definitely recommend this place but also suggest an effort to upgrade the rooms and interiors to the hotel management.
