Trip to Abba Voyage and Wimbledon

A great stay at the Tower Hotel. It is so well situated for so many attractions we will be booking again every time we go to London. We never ate in the hotel but had a few drinks in tbe bar at night which was lovely with the firepits aglow.

Hotel with good service and great location

Stayed in this hotel with my brother for 5 nights. It was great - the hotel is very clean, well-serviced, air con works well, desk staff were all very helpful and kind. The location of the hotel is great, right beside Tower Bridge, and nearby Tesco (grocery), Costa (cafe), short walk to Starbucks, Wagamama (Japanese restaurant), and to tube station called Tower Hill.

Great Location

Hotel was in a perfect location for what we needed, for convenience to get to the London City Airport and proximity to tourist attractions. The beds were very comfortable.
Charrese, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a good time and the view from our room is stunning. However, the flooring is clean I believe but outdated. It can be streamed-line. But to sum it up … I recommend this place. Especially if like to stay near the city center.

Alan, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room we had was a pleasant surprise considering the age of the hotel. There was a few w&t marks in the room; but generally speaking it was ok. Fortunately the AC in our room was working, which wasn't the case for other that I spoke to. The staff were excellent especially in the Vicinity bar/restaurant, always very helpful. The location of the hotel is it's main selling point

This was a return stay to this hotel which is conveniently located for touring, dining and lots of walking. We would definitely stay at this hotel again.
