"Read the info carefully this is a shared kitchen and bathroom . Quite noisy outside too and the exterior needs a tidy up. Also quite difficult to find too"

"The location of this Inn is terrific. Lots of really good restaurants within a short walk. Staff are friendly and even let us check in early. The room was on the small side and could use a decor refresh but it was very clean and the beds were comfortable. We would stay here again."

"we were looking for somewhere to stay that was close to the eurostar and the location was perfect! There was plenty of space for our family of four and we all slept well."

"Appalling experience - turned up after a full day to be told there was no access to the property and could I go to Aldgate instead. The booking was made specifically due to proximity to an event the next day. Had to get another room nearby at short notice for a lot more money.
Would not trust booking with them again and would advise people to choose another option."

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle
6/10 Okay
"The view was excellent for the Tower Bridge especially at night. The room needed maintenance, the shower/ bathtub and sink takes forever to drain, and you literally has to HOLD the lever down for a long time in order for the toilet to completely flushed. This property doesn't have a GYM, you have to walk about 20 mins to a gym apparently they partner with. Checking in was great as they have self serve machine and checking out takes less than a minute. I kept encountering house keeping staff opening the door even though I have the " do not disturb" lights on during the day luckily I put the chain on the door. And be really careful when booking as they have a no cancellation policy meaning the minute you book you will be staying there. "
"I recently stayed at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge and had an excellent experience.
The location is outstanding and hard to beat for sightseeing in London. Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, the London Eye, Uber Boat services, and several HOHO bus stops are all within easy walking distance. Buckingham Palace is also a pleasant walk away.
My room was comfortable and well-equipped with a comfortable bed and pillows, a safe, mini-fridge, kettle, coffee and tea facilities, and even a lovely view of Big Ben. There was an ice bucket and an ice dispenser on every floor.
The room is equipped with a safe, mini fridge, a US power outlet, a USB and USB-C port.
The hotel staff were welcoming, helpful, and attentive throughout my stay. I arrived after an overnight flight and the front desk (Tiffany) kindly allowed me to check in about three hours early so I could rest and refresh, which I greatly appreciated. The doorman is excellent. He has the biggest smile & he helped me locate my airport pickups london driver.
I signed up for the eco-housekeeping option and received a £10 food voucher, yet housekeeping still came daily to make the bed, refresh towels, and empty the trash.
The breakfast buffet was excellent with a wide variety of choices. My recommendation is to add breakfast when making your reservation, as it cost about £17 when booked in advance compared to approximately £25 if purchased separately.
Safe to walk at night."
"Our stay was delightful from check-in to checkout. The location is ideal, the room is clean and comfortable and the buffet breakfast is the perfect way to start a day of sightseeing. Thank you to the staff for making our stay such a success."
"Whilst very very noisy neighbours from 11pm until 2am is not the fault of the hotel staff, but rather the ignorance of the neighbours themselves, I would have preferred security to have been more intent with their actions when asking them to keep the house down, especially after multiple calls to reception due to them becoming excessively noisy every time the security left the floor.
No room to do weights in the gym, and the chest press machine was wedged"
"Do not stay here! The room we got was really dirty and had one working outlet. Given that it is such a small and minimalist space, we had hoped the room would at least be clean. The bathroom had a horribly poor design with no shower door, so anytime the shower was turned on, the entire bathroom floor was soaked. There was no way to keep the shower water inside the shower as there was so little gradient to the floor to the drain.
The reviews said the hotel had beauty rooms on each floor so I didn’t bring a hair dryer. There are only 2 beauty rooms on floors 3 and 7 and they only had one working hair dryer. Those rooms were also incredibly dirty with hair everywhere.
There wasn’t even any space to open up our suitcases, and I know the square footage is described but some floor space to have an open suitcase isn’t even available. So much wasted space in the bathroom and bed frame.
We ended up only staying one night here and booked another hotel close by. We just couldn’t stay in the room feeling like we were sleeping in a jail cell. When we checked out early, the staff just said okay well enjoy the rest of your stay. I didn’t expect a refund but maybe a more sincere apology.
Might work for some, but the rooms are simply too small and dark for two people. I can’t even imagine having more than two people in a room. If you are traveling with more than one person and want a comfortable stay, just basic hotel necessities, do not stay here."
