Stayed here for 3 nights at the weekend. Booked through lastminute.com and paid £340 pound for the 3 nights which was a significant saving on the hotel's own website that claimed that nobody would be their prices. From the exterior the hotel looks a bit dated. The exterior look a bit drab with the peeling window frames a bit of... More

We recently stayed at the Tower Hotel, London, an ideal hotel to visit the sights of our capital city. The rooms overlooked Katherine Docks, light and airy, clean, very comfortable bed and staff very helpful. We enjoyed a continental breakfast, which was quite sufficient to begin our day. The hotel was in an ideal location to visit all the major... More

The best hotel I've ever stayed in. Amazing view of tower bridge and reception supervisor Livia sorted the whole booking out for me choosing the exact room too. The brasserie food is really lovely - try the duck or the steak- mmmm. Beautiful setting by the docks and a wonderful few days away from the world. Chris

Excellent weekend at the Tower Guoman spent with friends. The hotel position is fantastic - right next to the Tower of London and overlooking Tower Bridge. Tower Hill underground is nearby and the river boat stops were outside the hotel (can recommend interesting boat trip to Greenwich). The rooms are spacious, well equipped, very comfortable and quiet. Breakfasts were OK... More

I had an enjoyable stay at The Tower - check in was swift and efficient, my room was clean and comfortable and the bed very comfortable. My room overlooked St Katherine's Dock (during previous stays I had been overlooking Tower Bridge) - the view over the dock is very good if not as iconic as the bridge. I used the... More

We had a one night stay as I was on a course the next day. The hotel was very good. It was located very close to the course I was on and was within reasonable walking distance of Liverpool Street Station. The staff were very friendly. The room itself was good, plenty big enough, very well equipped, clean and comfortable.... More

I stayed at the tower after a work function, generally very good. I was informed at check in that breakfast commenced at 7am and needed to get away early. When I went down in the morning I was informed it commenced on the mezzanine at 6.30 only a little thing but would have been useful to know the night before.... More
