This is one of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The staff were friendly and the view is great but once you get into the room, it’s disgusting. The floors, bedding and walls were stained. The bathroom smelled bad. The lamp fixtures were crooked. The tv remote didn't work. Felt dirty to get into the shower. A fire test also went off and it felt like we were going deaf. Would not stay here again.

Dining options are nearby. The hotel bar/restsurant had very slow service, even thoughbthere were very few patrons at the time. However, the bell team offered outstanding customer care, giving us great suggestions for dining, directions to The Tube, securing a black cab for us, and just being friendly and helpful at all times. The view of the Tower Bridge and the Thames was magical. Proximity to public tranportation was super convenient. Situated very near to a convenience store and various casual dining places. I highly recommend it. The check-in kiosks were game changing. Our bathroom was older, but i found it charming. I love the place!
