I had a room with a view of the Tower Bridge, it was stunning! The hotel was clean, big, and had a lot of charm. The restaurant next to the lobby was great! We ate there twice and the food was delicious. I also cannot say enough about the awesome staff! Everyone was so nice and accommodating. The location of the hotel was great, it is right across the street from the Tower of London and next to the Thames River. It was so cool. I would recommend this hotel.

Location to local underground was convent. A variety of restaurants close by so you didn’t have to venture very far if you choose not to. The concierge services were very helpful and friendly. Starbucks located in lobby was definitely a bonus for those who don’t need a full buffet breakfast and reasonable.

They didn't have central air conditioning. The room was very warm but the halls were cool. The staff was not quick to respond to the issue. The heat made it difficult to sleep. The view was amazing

Amazing location. Room was very clean and modern. Very busy lobby with a Starbucks and grab n go market. Concierge was very helpful. Vicinity Restaurant was always busy and food was very good. The buffet for breakfast was not worth the cost and was too cramped for us. There are many choices for restaurants directly behind at St. Katherine’s docks. Taxi’s were always waiting if you want to go venture out. Lots to do right out the door with Tower of London, Tower Bridge and the Thames.

AVOID THIS HOTEL The room was filthy dirty - the decor is outdated Carpets are worn out Pillows we’re disgusting Bathroom was covered in mold Cleaners are not good This hotel needs a complete renovation Complaints were not acted on The only thing going for this hotel is the view of Tower Bridge N.B. They offered breakfast at £20 per head per morning - a complete rip off (attempt) - do not pay it, breakfast can be obtained just about anywhere for a fraction of this price.

The Tower Hotel’s best feature is the location. It right on the Thames River looking at the Tower Bridge, next to The Tower of London. Close to the tube. The rooms in the hotel could use some updating. Shower blasted cold and hot water randomly during shower. Our room was extremely musty smelling and thermostat did not work. We had great weather and it started to get warm and so our room got very warm and stuffy. The restaurant staff were very nice but seemed to struggle when busy. There is no “to-go” food and the room service takes very long. Need to downstairs to ask for ice or order food. The food is over priced and so-so. The outside bar with the view gets busy but is only open for a couple of hours a day. Closes at 8pm.
