My wife and I stayed here for a short trip to London after finding a cheap rate on lastminute.

If you go, ask for a room with a view of tower bridge. We had a fantastic view of it lit up at night.

The evening meal was really nice and breakfast was adequete.

We (myself, my gran and sister) went to London to see a musical. Staying at the Thistle Tower made our break even more enjoyable. What a perfect view. The rooms were lovely, staff friendly and food absolutely delicious. We found it great value and would definately return again. We didn't want too return hhome after 2 nights of relaxation. Thankyou to all..

We booked before I read the reviews and was horrified as this was a wedding anniversary treat for the wife so I rang ahead and without hesitation they upgraded us for free to the newly refurbished first floor. The room was wonderful with a king size bed, views over St. Katherines dock, extremely quite and was equal to the 4 star London hotels we have recently stayed in i.e Holiday Inn, Marriott, Millennium and Raddisson. Staff were polite and helpful and only a short wait to check in and no waiting for breakfast or to check out. Eating in the immediate area was not so good for us as there seemed little choice and very expensive.

Staff was friendly enough but service inconsistent (the Connoisseurs for example had markedly different levels of efficiency). Our room was okay but nothing to brag about, a view of the Marina instead of the Tower. As stated elsewhere, the location is the main thing going for this hotel. For that reason alone I would consider using this hotel again but I can't strongly recommend it.
