Best location I’ve ever stayed at in London.  We asked and paid for a tower view which was amazing. The hotel is on the district and circle line and easy to get where you want or take a comfortable stroll along the Thames.  Our room was spotless and had everything we needed.  The only reason I’ve given fewer points on service is because we didn’t need it.  Everything was so easy from the self check-in at reception to express checkout. We’ve already booked to return at Christmas.

Good hotel, decent location just needs to be updated as it is a bit outdated now from the rooms to the reception. Breakfast nice choice and food good.

There was nothing about my stay that wouldn't make me want to come here again, but I will be looking at alternatives for my next teip to London. The hotel is in a prime location, with stunning views, amazing restaurants, and easy access to the underground. However, the hotel itself is in need of some update. The room was dirty, with dust everywhere and the toilet/bathroom needing an extra clean. The walls show signs of water damage, the carpet is missing sections in corners, and nothing got better when the maid came during the day. The vu restaurant is good, but the hotel breakfast in the gallery at £25 is a rip-off; go to a restaurant nearby.

The location is very good. It is right on the Tower Bridge and close to the Tower of London. The subway station is not far away. The surrounding scenery is nice. There is also a small supermarket nearby. Daily basic needs can be met
