The hotel is perfectly located and easy to reach. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes located nearby. The best view from the window is guaranteed no matter where your room is located: river or marina side.

Best location I’ve ever stayed at in London. We asked and paid for a tower view which was amazing.
The hotel is on the district and circle line and easy to get where you want or take a comfortable stroll along the Thames.
Our room was spotless and had everything we needed. The only reason I’ve given fewer points on service is because we didn’t need it. Everything was so easy from the self check-in at reception to express checkout.
We’ve already booked to return at Christmas.

There was nothing about my stay that wouldn't make me want to come here again, but I will be looking at alternatives for my next teip to London. The hotel is in a prime location, with stunning views, amazing restaurants, and easy access to the underground. However, the hotel itself is in need of some update. The room was dirty, with dust everywhere and the toilet/bathroom needing an extra clean. The walls show signs of water damage, the carpet is missing sections in corners, and nothing got better when the maid came during the day. The vu restaurant is good, but the hotel breakfast in the gallery at £25 is a rip-off; go to a restaurant nearby.

The toilet bathroom is very old and look yellow. The location is nice and scene is near which just beside tower bridge. Room is dark and not bright enough

Very small room it was definitely not an executive room that we booked and the cleanliness and maintenance standards was very bad specially for the money that we had paid. A Premier Inn would have been much more cleaner and in better condition than these rooms .
