St Thomas' Tower

Excellent property with fantastic staff. Great experience all round

The property is very close to many attractions and restaurants. However, I got stuck in the elevator - I had to call the hotel management who then sent somebody over; also left some messages on Expedia but no answer from the hotel. I also activated the alarm in the elevator and the elevator maintenance company could speak a little of English. I yelled out and kept tapping on the elevator door until another guest helped me open from the outside. I decided to take the stairs after this incident and when I checked out - it is not easy to maneuver a 22-inch bag along the spiral stairs. The hotel did not follow up with me at all after this incident. Breakfast is decent. The room is spacious. The AC works very well. The water leaks out a bit as the shower pan is too shallow. Hot water is hit or miss, but I stayed here in summer, so no hot water is needed per se. As a side note, on the way back when I had a transit in Paris-CDG, the elevator to get to the lower floor to hop on the inter-terminal shuttle bus also did not open. However, it magically opened after I tried the door-opening button three times - very odd to be stuck in the elevator twice in two different places in 24 hours!

Great stay, really lovely hostel
