For my birthday I decided to stay in the Tower Hotel, My overall stay was great due to me choosing this hotel for the bridge view room nothing else and I was satisfied except for the raised concerns I expressed at the end of my visit. The main concern was the maintenance that I was assured and witness being done in the hotel however presented a room with the second security lock to be broken on the door and for tiles in the bathroom to be cracked was unexpected for the price. The staff in the front was kind enough to hear me out and offered me free breakfast and wished that they were aware earlier and got my information to accommodate me for next stay. Overall stay was great except for those hiccups.

Fantastic location. Close to attractions and the underground for quick access. Right on the riverside so also walkable to so many sites with a great view. Hotel itself was clean, very quiet. Breakfast buffet is extremely overpriced.

The Tower Hotel

Arrived - 3rd bed not made up, still hairs in the bath from previous stay. Bathroom sink grouting dirty, air conditioning didn’t work and the room was too hot. The curtains had a massive gap in them, woke up when it was light. Customer toilets 2 toilet seats broken. Really outdated and needs a refurbish! Great location though!

Terrible. Broken AC throughout the whole hotel. Incredibly hot inside the room, too hot to sleep. Dirty room, stained lamp shades, massive stains on the wall, poor service, understaffed, broken television, failed to provide basic amenities. I feel completely ripped off and angry about staying here. Ruined an expensive trip to London.

Very nice hotel. My room seemed a little aged, but it was fine. The great view of the Tower Bridge and Thames made up for the decor. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location. I do recommend the Tower Hotel.
