"I have mixed feelings about my stay at The Tower Hotel.
I paid extra for a Tower Bridge view room, but instead received a room overlooking the wharf with only a partial side view of the bridge, which was further obstructed by air conditioning units. I raised my concern at check-in but was told I still had a bridge view. Unfortunately, this was not the direct, front-facing view I had paid for, and it felt misleading. I chose not to let it ruin the first day of our vacation.
The room itself was dated, with worn furniture, a broken dresser, a damaged mirror, and an outdated bathroom. However, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the location was outstanding.
I also purchased the daily breakfast buffet package. On the first morning, I found what appeared to be a fake eyelash in my scrambled eggs. I threw my meal away and avoided the buffet for the rest of my stay, choosing to eat next door instead. I wish I had not purchased the breakfast package.
Despite these disappointments, the staff truly made the stay memorable. The concierge team, especially Ramos, went above and beyond to help us arrange our Stonehenge tour, transportation, and navigate the Tube. The restaurant staff were also warm, friendly, and attentive throughout our stay.
The exceptional customer service and unbeatable location helped make up for the condition of the room. I would stay here again for the location and staff, but I hope the hotel updates its rooms and improves breakfast quality control."
