    Great stay, loved the location. Would stay again but definitely with the breakfast option included.

    Breakfast not included. When paying A$400 per night, it wold have been good to have it included.

    Room very comfortable. Location great. Unfortunately breakfast not included in our rate. We had breakfast on one morning, but found it incredibly expensive for what was available. This was the one downside to our stay at the Tower Hotel.

    The bathrooms and cupboards/drawers in the room require refurbishing.

    The rooms I stayed in had stunning views. The breakfast spread was great! The hotel is pretty close to the train station, historic sites, restaurants, etc. And it is easy to get to the hotel from Heathrow airport. Great pictures inside the rooms.

    We were not given notice that the tower bridge would be closing the night that we stayed for maintenance. Had to walk for miles to get back to hotel.

    Would definitely recommend for a special occasion. The view of the bridge was amazing, breakfast was lovely and the guest relation team were really helpful with requests to make my husband’s birthday extra special. The hotel is in close proximity to many attractions. Great location.

    Location, amazing. View, amazing. Manager very nice, allowed us to check in early which was a lifesaver since we were very jet lagged.

    Housekeeping came into our room at just gone 9am, they walked right in. They came again at 10 & again before 11 as I was getting changed. No knock or anything. I was not impressed with that.

    It’s gorgeous with stunning views of Tower Bridge. We stayed there for Abba Voyage & it was so handy. You get the DLR from Tower Gateway which is less than 5 mins from the hotel. I’ve been to London many times but never stayed in that area so it was lovely for a change. The reception staff & concierge were all very friendly & helpful

    Haven’t yet followed up, however I believe we were charged for drinks when we were advised these would be complimentary. Will enquire when we get back to Australia.

    The view was wonderful, the breakfast great and location, location, location.

    2 of the table lamps in the room didn’t work, the switches were broken. Lovely towels but no washcloths.

    Location was excellent, short walk to restaurants, Tower bridge and Tower of London, and hop on bus stop. Very nice views of the marina from the room, (couldn’t get a river front room). Staff was friendly and helpful. I liked that there were two armchairs in the room.

    Nothing it's a great hotel

    Just returned back from our little 2 night stay , my husband and I have actually stayed at this hotel before couple yrs previously and chose this hotel again purely on location not to mention cheapest we could find in the area for dates we wanted . Walking in its a grand foyer area with all the marble , lovely clean fresh smell which I remember from last time , we were lucky enough to have a room with a fantastic view right infront of Tower Bridge, the rooms are lovely and spacious though little dated odd mark on the wall here n there but very clean , the bed was so comfortable and huge , again bathroom was clean with bath and shower which was really good water pressure on the shower. The staff for room service were all friendly n polite so credit to the hotel for lovely cleaners, we must of met / passed by about 8 of them and they all spoke good morning and smiles . There's little kettle and tea/ coffee in the room which is topped up daily , a hair dryer and a huge TV We didn't actually eat at the hotel as there's plenty of restaurants near by and a little 24hr tesco just round the corner for daily paper, would definitely stay here again

    Some of the staff could have been better. When I arrived I had just stepped inside the entrance when a member of staff demanded that I use the self service check in and when I was attempting to put in my pin number I had to ask him not to watch me putting in my pin. At breakfast on the first morning I went to get something else to eat and when I got back to the table I discovered that my breakfast had been cleared away and someone else was sitting at the table. the second morning I left a note telling them I had not finished. Housekeeping forgot to leave milk in the room but got some for me very promptly.

    The room was very nicely presented , the view could have been better but it wasn't too bad. breakfast was very good food wise and there was plenty of choice. The concierge was very friendly and helpful.
