Not good value for money. Breakfast terrible: Don't waste your tome going; you’d be better off going to starbucks across the road! Asked for an executive suite with a view of the tower: got a horrible old smokey room even though it had been stated on the website that it was renovated and was non smoking. Eventually was put in... more

It was my first trip to England and, although there on business, I could not have been more excited. I was in Reading during the week, but my kind travel agent moved me to The Tower Hotel Friday night as I didn't return to the States until Sunday. It being Friday, night, the check-in desk was swamped with too few... more

Stayed for 3 days at the end of Oct. Ate in The Brassierie each night. Food was good, but pricey. Room was clean, but had 3 single beds making it cramped. Hard to get to window to see the nice view! Service and staff were all very good. The only disappointment was the buffet style breakfast. The food was rock... more

My partner and I stayed at "The Tower" for 1 night. We stayed on the fifth floor, room 565 to be exact and found the hotel to be very clean and tidy. Our room was recently refurbished and was very pleasant with many mod cons, particularly good was the underfloor heating within the bathroom area. My only comment with regards... more

Beautifully located near Tower Bridge with views on river or St. Catherine docks. Some repair should be done soon. Bathroom not so clean as it could be. Water-tap moving in every direction. Windows very old and I had feeling that after opening they will go down. more

The location of the hotel is the best in my opinion, as it overlooks Tower Bridge, and is a minutes walk from the Tower and St Katherine's docks. Across the Thames is Butler's Wharf which has lots of nice places to eat. The DLR line is minutes away also, as well as the thames boat stops The rooms are on... more

The hotel was booked for us, so we had little choice, but looking at the website was excited by the views over the iconic Tower Bridge and river. It's a bit of a drive to get to but has parking which is useful. Expect to pay £20 per night though for the privilege. I had a single room which was... more

We booked with last minute.com which was an easy procedure but the pictures advertised for this hotel are not' what our room resembled. Although all the facilities were available in the room, we had chintz wall paper hanging off the walls, mouldy skirting boards and the carpet was not only dirty but thread bare in places. Would not stay in... more

Reception not interested in your needs, just wanted to get you out of the way. Wardrobe looked like it was a DIY job done by my granny. Minibar was like a vending machine. The room was adequate. No Sky sports or other channels on the TV which you get at other hotels. The bathroom was small and the shower was... more
