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

We enjoyed a stunning view of Tower Bridge from our hotel room. The location was within walking distance of the Tube, making it convenient for exploring the city. The staff were welcoming, and our room was clean and spacious. The hotel also featured an on-site Starbucks, an affordable all-you-can-eat buffet, a restaurant along the Thames, and vending machines, along with a small “shop” stocked with essentials like adaptors for those who needed them.

The room itself is outdated, I don’t overly mind that but what I did mind was the drainage system. You could hear a gurgling noise and running water from other rooms the entire night. Impossible to sleep. It was so loud and it was some sort of vent in the floor

The Tower Hotel is a classy hotel near the Tower and Tower Bridge. It’s lovely to see the bridge when you walk out the door and from certain room windows. My view was the marina, which was also pretty. Friendly staff; convenient restaurant and coffee areas.
