If you are planning to travel to London from the US, do NOT stay at Marlin Aldgate Tower Bridge for one reason- they have a policy against holding luggage for early arrival. International flights from the US usually arrive in the early am. So we got there around 9 am. The lady there would not let us leave our luggage at the hotel. She told us the tube station two blocks away could store them. Marlin Aldgate’s policy. We had to carry 12 bags (8 suitcases and smaller bags) to the station, which then told us there was no such thing. We finally found a liquor store nearby that would keep them for roughly $80. I had to leave all my belongings on the day we landed… at a liquor store. Oh, and they also told me if the room was ready early, we could get in for $50. I never expect to get in early… but why if it’s ready? If the room happens to be ready, what is the big deal? We did store all our earthly belongings at the liquor store until around 2:30 in the afternoon. At that point, she did let us get to our room 30 minutes early and graciously waved the charge. We stayed there nine nights. The place was fine besides that. Kitchen, living room, washer and dryer. Clean. Well kept. Good access to public transportation. HOWEVER… don’t stay there if you are coming from the States. I had someone tell me I should’ve asked before booking. I didn’t even know that would be an issue to ask about. But regardless… even if you check and know, why would you want to be in that position?
