The hotel was convenient to the Tower of London and close to the Tower Hill Tube station. The breakfast buffet (option) was was great, especially the omelets made to order. The rooms were slightly dated and I am still mystified with twin beds in a hotel. The fitness center is very small, with a treadmill, rower, bike, free weights (but no bench or floor space to use them) and a multi-machine. Two people can use it. Three is a crowd. I chose the location because my daughter is at school in London and the academic building is next door.

We enjoyed our stay at the Tower Hotel! Beautiful views of the river were def a plus! There are several nice restraints on the other side of the bridge and on the docks behind the hotel. Black cabs are always out front waiting to take you around town and the underground is close by! We would definitely stay again!

Really good stay, lovely large twin room overlooking the Tower and bridge and did not pay to upgrade. Room cleaned every day, breakfast was lovely. Lifts all in good working order, 5 minutes from Tower Hill station. Really have no complaints for the price in central London. Would have been good to have power points near the beds for charging but that’s minor.

Perfect location

A perfect location with easy access to all the major sights in London. Our room was spacious, quiet and the bed was very comfortable. Nice views over the river. The breakfast had cereals, continental meat /cheese selections, pastries, fruits and yoghurts as well as full English choices with plenty for everyone. My only downside to our stay is that the bathrooms are a little dated and worn. That said, the shower was powerful and hot. We’ve stayed here before and I’m sure we will be back again! Definitely worth the view of Tower Bridge

The hotel is situated by the Thames overlooking Tower Bridge. The view from the room was excellent. The check-in lady was very good, consolidating two consecutive bookings to stay in the same bridge view room. The buffet breakfast is very good including omelette service. The concierge was excellent, providing practical advice on the best public transport to Gatwick. The room could do with a refurbishment but it ticks the essentials - spacious, comfortable, safe and clean - with the tremendous view.
