The hotel room we first got was very dirty asked for a new one. The second one was still dirty. The temperature overnight in the rooms was 29 Celsius every night when calling the front desk, they said that’s just the way it is and didn’t really care about our problem

Great views , rooms need a refurbish

Staff members kept knocking on my door for things I hadn’t ordered . Happened 4 times in as many days which I found odd. As a female solo traveller , I found it a bit unsettling !

Very clean, friendly staff and quiet w wonderful views -we chose Tower view and stayed 1 week Floor 8. Great traditional full English breakfast was a great start of day and savings as we walked to very close Tower Hill tube station to start many adventures each day and 2 cozy restaurants on site with several other lovely next door options for dinner and lit up bridge at nighttime. I will stay again. Also Tescoe next door for snacks, convenience. Thank You Tower Hotel! Great Stay in March 2025 from US
