Latest 5 reviews of The Tower, A Guoman Hotel
Great view, comfortable room
Booked in for one night for a standard room.
Lovely comfortable clean stylish room, great picture window view over St Katherines Dock.
Room was of a lovely size, with table and chairs also a comfortable sofa. Plenty of amenities such as wadrobe space and suitcase rack. Surfaces to put kettle on to make tea & coffee.
Lovely quiet room with a very comfortable bed. Bathroom all amenties including bath. Breakfast was great, good choice and well cooked. Car parking on hotel premises very convenient. Staff very helpful. Public areas have great view of Tower Bridge.
Did not have dinner or other meals on this occasion, so cannot comment.
Great views.
Modern hotel in stunning riverside location. Check-in was very slow despite having confirmation papers, the check-in person spoke so quietly he could not be heard in a busy environment. Stayed in a beautifully appointed single room with spectacular views of the river, London Bridge and London Tower. Bathroom was modern, well appointed and exceptionally clean. Unusually there were three telephones available for use including one by the loo! Ate in the restaurant both for evening meal and breakfast. The food was of high quality. My only criticism was that the plates were cold and the food was only warm when it reached the table. Booking out was the opposite experience to booking in, in that a member of hotel staff collected the swipe cards from those standing in the queue who had no extras to pay.
Great Location but hotel (and staff) below parr!
The location is simply fantastic - right beside the Tower Bridge which looks simply stunning (especially when illuminated at night!)
The nearest tube station is Tower Hill (two stops on circle line from Liverpool Street.) The walk to the hotel, from the tube is fabulous - along the perimeter wall of the Tower of London.
The hotel is right beside St Katherine's Dock - a beautiful setting with a lovely selection of bars and restaurants.
However, I couldn't help be a little disappointed with the hotel itself - it wasn't cheap - at L189 per room per night. We stayed in a deluxe room - had a massive bed but not a lot else going for it. It simply looked a little tired and in need of a refurb.
We also had some delays and admin issues at both check in and check out.
Would I stay again - yes - location simply can't be beaten!
Was Ok
My Boyfriend and I stayed in the Tower Hotel in November 2008. It was a gift for my birthday - a virgin experience theatre break. We did not choose this hotel Virgin Experience did this for us.
We were so excited about going, the pictures on the hotel looked amazing we knew the location was going to be fantastic and for the whole weekend costing L325 we thought yep this hotel was going to be a posh one :-) WRONG!!!
The hotel reception area was amazing it looked lovely, we did have wait to check in for quite a long time and there didn't seem to be any such system, if you pushed hard enough you would be seen first. It was quite busy and there were only 3 reception staff on duty! Once we got checked in we went to our rooms. Well don't be fooled by the pictures on the website I think they must only belong to the pent house apartments on the top floor :-). Our room had a great few over look the boots in the harbor but the room was basic and pretty small. The bathroom was clean and the towels were fine.
We were pretty hungry after travelling a while so we thought we would order some food. We looked at the menu and started laughing L15 for a sandwich. As much as i was being spoilt of my birthday i couldn't justify that so we decided to go and find somewhere else. There are lots of places to eat around the hotel so well worth going for a walk just outside its great and much cheaper than the hotel.
We had a fantastic night in London and watched the Lion King it was great, got back to the hotel and slept... the bed was comfortable and the pillows were very nice :-). The breakfast the next day was advertised at L18.75 for a Full English. Lucky ours was included in our rate.
We thought we would leave breakfast until pretty late (or so we thought 10am) we got down to the breakfast area and it was queuing to get in. We stayed in the queue for 30 minutes NOT IMPRESSED!! When we finally did get to sit down the breakfast was pretty horrible the bacon was so salty and the eggs were runny and there wasn't anything special about it at all.
The prices advertised on the board were L260 a night, the hotel was nice but it was not L260 nice!!!
Would I go there again, probably not, i think there are probably cheaper but better hotels out there than this one. Shame though because they are setting themselves up for reviews like this one when they advertise such a fantastic looking hotel on their website!!!
Excellent Value near the city
I booked this hotel after going there for dinner. Having initially walked up to the desk and being quoted L249 for the evening I used my phone to check expedia and found I could book online for L99 inc. breakfast for the two of us. Suffice to say we agree that I'd pay the lower price. I also got a free upgrade as they were n't overly full.
The hotel itself has an excellent postion next to St Katherines dock. It looks awful from the outside but once inside it's a different story. Rooms are clean and very well appointed - should you want to watch TV you get a 40" LCD. The bathrooms again clean and very nice marble.
Staff were always polite and freindly (despite having to come down L150 on the rate) and all in all it was a very good evening out.
Breakfast is a bufffet affair but don't be put off, the fast turnover of food means its always hot and well (not over) cooked.
One to remember for the back pocket on a friday night if your stuck in town.
