So much wasted potential

Incredibly unfriendly staff. I felt my checking was an inconvenience to them as maybe it was just me and just one night. They talked down to me and having stayed the night before at another 5-star hotel in London (Hotel 41) it was night and day. Other than the grand hall, everything else just felt a bit dated and poorly tended. The room was advertised as having a nespresso machine, which is great apart from there being no nespresso. There was one small towel and requesting a second took ages to arrive.

Lovely old building with a beautifully decorated dining room. The rooms were comfortable and quiet. We didn’t dine in the restaurant but we did enjoy a snack from the bar which made us wish we were dining! Breakfast options were good with both English and Indian dishes. Located right by Tower Bridge and easy walk to the Shard. Very unique hotel which we throughly enjoyed.

The room was large by London standards and the bed was super comfortable! Love the little amenities in the room like cookies, crisps, and water and appreciated they were replenished daily. The gym is nice, but small, and would have been better with a Peloton! Close for walking to lots of great spots including tube and train from London Bridge. Breakfast was a little expensive and so I skipped and went to an outside location. Would be better to lower the price a bit to make it more appealing.
