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

Unlike other hotels that has special landmarks near them cost a fortune, the Tower Hotel surprised me by the price and how one of London’s most famous landmark is right next to it. The breakfast is exact and the stay is just amazing.

Pros - I liked the location of the Tower Hotel since the underground was close by and there were numerous restaurants nearby. Cons - the hotel elevators were slow. The buffet breakfast (though abundant)was pricey. My biggest complaint was the taxi service to Heathrow was supposed to be a priced price of £100 but when we got to the airport we were charged £150. Either the hotel was misleading us or the cabbie was not told of the fixed price. We did not want to complain to the cabbie since the meter clearly said £150 and we did not want to argue with him. If we stay at The tower Hotel next visit we will confirm this price with everyone concerned.,

Unfortunately I couldnt give it a full 5 star rating, if it wasnt for the superb customer service, it would have gotten 2 stars. Pros: customer service, great location, super close to London Tower bridge Cons: super hot in room, the temp control didnt adjaut, when walked into the room when we first got there, the drawer of the dresser was broken, carpets dirty looking, the drain outside if tub backed up when emptying the bath water, TV kept turning off and on. Pretty much the whole room itself was a disappointment. DO NOT EAT AT THE RESTAURANT. The service sucked. Sucked even more that we had to no control of the service charge. :( But food was good at least, I guess. I really hope hotel does upgrade their rooms for a better experience. Staff was amazing on top of our requests and I really appreciated that.
