"Perfect place!"

"A Room with a View, But Lacking Comfort ​We booked The Tower Hotel by Thistle for a double celebration: my wife’s 40th birthday and our six-year-old daughter’s first trip to London. While the location provided unforgettable memories, the hotel itself is heavily dated. ​The Positives: ​Views & Location: The absolute highlight is the unbeatable location and the breathtaking view of Tower Bridge from our window. ​Generous Space: Our family room was surprisingly large for the city centre. ​Comfort for Children: The pull-out bed for our daughter was a full double, which she found incredibly comfortable. ​Service: The staff were genuinely friendly. ​The Negatives: ​Stifling Temperatures: The room was far too warm, as the air conditioning is centrally locked at 25°C. When we queried this, reception simply handed us a plug-in fan. ​Poor Sleep Quality: Sleep was further hampered by an uncomfortable main bed and hopelessly flat pillows. ​Lack of Plugs: There are zero plug sockets near the bed for charging devices. ​Archaic Bathrooms: The bathroom desperately needs modernising. It features separate hot and cold taps rather than a mixer, and an old-fashioned rubber plug on a chain. ​The Verdict: If you book purely for the iconic views, spacious rooms, and brilliant location, it delivers. However, if you value a good night's sleep and modern comforts, this property leaves a lot to be desired."

"Great stay at this hotel"

"Hotel seems new, modern and clean. A good stay overall. Room clean and comfortable with everything you need. Small bedside reading lights like in other hotels would have been a nice touch and a slight gap in the shower door means some water escapes the shower, but only minor points. The check-in process was fine, but not the most customer friendly chap. Breakfast was generally good, although fried eggs would have been nice as the scrambled egg made with powdered egg isn't great. The young man collecting used dishes and glasses from the tables was friendly and made the effort to engage with people which was a nice touch. Hotel well located for nearby tube station. "

"Amazing staff, clean and large room. "

"Thanks "

"Good hotel in a poor area"

"The only drawback at this otherwise lovely hotel is the slightly too high level of noise from other rooms. One easy way to decrease this might be to ensure that there is less of a gap between the floor and the bottom of the room doors. "
