    The rooms are old and tired and could use a refresh. Breakfast not included and cost 22Lbs each the first morning. After that found much better and cheaper local alternatives

    The bathroom needs some updating as cracked tiles, looked shabby and dripping tap. Room was great bed comfy, air conditioning, comfortable chairs, good to have a fridge too.

    The view was excellent of Tower Bridge and the Thames.

    The bathroom definitely needs renovation, mold on the ceiling due to poor ventilation, bathtub instead of a shower. Noisy air conditioning in the room.

    Fantastic view of Tower Bridge. Tasty breakfasts. Possibility to use the hotel deposit. Central location.

    Like everyone else has said, the lifts are slow so be prepared to wait. We ate in Vicinity on our first night - it was not a good experience. From the waitress not understanding the menu to simple questions like could we have a sprite or 7up with the white wine - we asked for a spritzer but she didnt know what that was.... the 7up or sprite never came. Our main course order, which was Salad was not put through to the kitchen so we waited over an hour for that to come. And when it did it was only average. Very pricy & very meh. We didnt eat there after that so cannot comment on breakfast. We had superb breakfasts on St Katherines dock for half the cost of the hotels breakfast. The rooms are small but we expected that.

    Location is super, the view from our room of the bridge was amazing. We had a exeuctive twin room. St Katherines dock is a 2minute walk from the hotel with great food offerings at half the cost of the hotel. Cote restaurant was superb for breakfast as was Cafe Rouge & the pizza & service in Zizzi was outstanding.

    Beds moved around weren’t fixed so nearly fell on floor just sitting on the bed!

    We were guests of the day, given a free upgrade with wine & mini bar. We eat in the Vicinity and was very good. Great location.

    I a senior and climbing into the bathtub for a shower was not the easiest. Walk in shower would be better. The furniture is about ready for replacement, but serviceable. Coffee was not great no matter how I tried it.

    I had a room with a view of the Thames River and that was great. The room was large with ample space for all my stuff. Breakfast was very good, nice selection of breads and pastries and eggs, bacon, sausage and omelets. Check in was great and staff are friendly and efficient. Concierge was very helpful.

    This is a huge hotel; the service is impersonal. For instance, I wanted a receipt for my payment. First, they told me I could get it at check-out. At check-out, they told me it would be emailed to me. It didn't happen.

    My room first floor single beds, as a friend was coming to stay was a bit tatty. around the edges When I came back after a trip into the country my double room was fine.

    The view from my room probably the best ever since first staying at The Tower in the 80s The procimity to attractions and the Tube and the opportunity to cross the Thames and walk to the Tate Modern and down to the Eye.
