Top Dowgate Hotel Reviews

Strand Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, lovely hotel"

STG Hotel London Oxford Street

8/10 Good

"The hotel is very central for a few days in London. The reception staff were lovely and very helpful. We had stayed here last year and even though there had been renovations we felt we got a better room with amenities last year. This year room was smaller, hardly any natural light (not good for somebody with dodgy eyesight) and was very disappointed that the rooms were no longer equipped with a fridge. Also for the size of the hotel we felt more lifts would have been useful. That being said if you are going to be out all day and evening exploring London and just need a room to sleep and shower this could be for you."

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

8/10 Good

"Great location right next to Tower Bridge, across the road from Tower of London and 5 minute walk through underpass walkways to Tower Hill station which gives easy access to most of London. And a river ride pier a fee steps away. Staff excellent. Room good size. Many food options in the immediate area. Nice was a £7 voucher for skipping a day of housekeeping. Being more used to “save the planet/don’t change towels “ messages with no acknowledgement that saving the planet also saves laundry and other costs for the proprietor. Nice move Tower Hotel. Let down was a tired over the bath shower with slightly loose grab handles. It let down the otherwise good overall standard of the room. In all an excellent base to see two of London’s big attractions just outside the hotel door."
