Great size, lots of room, very clean. Very helpful staff. Great location. Only issue was the temperature - very warm - but could open all the windows which was great but meant it was very noisy. Would definitely stay again, just not in the summer.

An Unforgettable Anniversary Stay

We were in London for our big anniversary celebration and picked this hotel for its super convenient location and the en-suite washer/dryer in the rooms—perfect for our six-night stay. However, we were very happily surprised by just how spacious our room was. It wasn’t just a hotel room; it was a full one-bedroom apartment with a hallway! It is luxurious, with high ceilings and classic styles with a modern touch. Also there are 2 bathrooms in the suite!! One of the highlights of our stay was the stunning view—we could see both Tower Bridge and the Tower of London from our “dining room” and bedroom. It was truly unforgettable! Aroona and her team—Akhil, Jinsul, and Philip—were absolutely wonderful. They were so friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed every single day. Their warm hospitality made us feel right at home. The reception team also left us a thoughtful gift and a heartfelt note for our anniversary, along with two lovely balloons on the sofa—unfortunately, we couldn’t take them home! I would absolutely stay at this hotel again on my next trip to London. The staff made our anniversary trip extra special, and we are so grateful for their kindness and exceptional service.

Really nice hotel/apartment room! Clean and modern. Only negative is the proximity to the road if you are at the front of the hotel. It's very loud all night

Great location right next to Tower of London. Aroona and Roxana were so welcoming, we arrived early before our room was ready so went sightseeing - they took our bags to our room for us ready for check in - nothing was too much trouble!

The people who managed the hotel were charming and very welcoming. The gym was not in the hotel, as advertised. I had to walk over a block to another gym and get access from their front desk—very inconvenient, and it is not ideal in winter.

Great in room facilities and super location

Super comfortable apartment, lovely modern in room facilities, great bed and bathroom and kitchen, despite the reception not looking so updated. Perfect for a business trip with desk space to work at and stunning views of Tower Bridge. Receptionist Francisca was super friendly and very helpful. I slept really well, but if you are a light sleeper, you might be woken by the underground train which runs underneath the hotel. But personally, I would recommend this place and would definitely stay again.
