    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.

    Good location, renovated and clean rooms

    The bathroom wasn't was clean as it could have been, the shower wasn't great (lack of pressure and water standing in the bath) and one of the bedside lamps didn't have a lightbulb

    The location was amazing and the tower bridge view completely worth it. The room was nice and comfortable.

    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.

    Nothing, it was all good. Only slight improvement would be a mini bar in the room for the fridge but we got ice buckets sent to the room no probs.

    Great location - recommend St Katherine's Docks behind the hotel for cafes etc, tesco metro and Tower Hill tube nearby or short walk to London Bridge, Borough Market over Tower Bridge. Room was a bit dated, but clean and comfortable. Had everything we needed. Loved that we could open the windows for fresh air. Hotel staff were great, everyone from reception, concierge, room service and housekeeping. Great price for great location.

    Room and bathroom both need updating. Very dated. Bathroom could do with a modern shower. Quite small compared to other hotels. Breakfast was very expensive so we chose to go elsewhere.

    We’ve stayed here a few times over the years and we love the location being right next to tower bridge and the river. Views from the rooms are lovely.

    Amazing location, fantastic views. The bed was huge and very comfortable. We had a lovely margarita at the bar one night after a day of sightseeing. My husband proposed at this hotel 7 years ago and it hasn’t lost its appeal. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

    The hotel was located nicely for the area of London we were in. It was right beside the Tower Bridge and Tower of London. It was located close to 2 train stations and a nice walk to another larger train station. The hotel was older but comfortable, and clean, the staff were extremely nice and helpful, the little onsite Starbucks was good, the restaurant/bar had good food and drinks with a view of the river and bridge (we did not try the larger restaurant on site), the breakfast was good and convenient, and the hotel is located at St. Catherine docks that had nice restaurants with really good food. The shower had amazing water pressure which I loved as hotels do not usually have great water pressure. We had a very pleasant stay here.

    The breakfast was poor and did not represent value for money. For the price I don't expect to do my own toast etc. The polish was knocked off our stay when at check in they took the full amount twice and only refunded it within half an hour after I challenged them. No sorry Sir just blamed their online system, in this digital age makes you suspicious. Customer service NIL on this occasion.

    Room was good, location is superb , stayed here last year.
