We stayed here for a week as part of a Grand Circle tour of England, Scotland and Wales. Our room overlooked Tower Bridge and was large and quite comfortable. Service by staff was excellent and breakfast was great each day. Loved the location being close to the underground, Tower of London and St. Katherine's Docks and such.

We spent 2 days in London for our 26th Wedding Anniversary. Although we primarily used the hotel as a base it was perfect. We dropped our bags off early, check-in was rapid and we were soon making the most of our limited time. There is now a reasonable choice of cafes, restaurants & pubs around St Katherines dock in addition... More

Stayed here for 2 nights. Room on ninth floor overlooking St Katherine's Dock - amazing view. Very comfortable room with everything we wanted. Had a meal in The Brasserie which was nicely served and was tasty. Breakfast was buffet style. Would have preferred our own teapot instead of ready made tea poured from a vacuum jug by the waitress. Found... More

You can't really judge service until something goes wrong. Unfortunately, during our stay something went wrong, and the service we received was dreadful. I was going to rate this hotel a 3 (it's very run down and quite far away from the Tube); however, on the last day of our stay we returned to our room to go to sleep,... More

This hotel if booked in advance for a its location in London is fantastic value. Upgrade to a view of the bridge, it is worth it! The room is very comfortable and the staff a check in are very pleasant. I cannot comment on the food as it was far to expensive for breakfast so we went somewhere else locally.... More

booked hotel for night in London following evening at the royal Albert Hall. The hotel is clean and seemed to have a fully manned reception at all times. Got upgraded to an executive room at check-in which was nice. However the room did not meet expectations of a 4* hotel. Although well equipped, it was quite cramped as there was... More

I have stayed in this hotel before and it is a firm favourite. Comfortable rooms, good food and excellent service with fantastic views of the Thames and Tower Bridge or St Katherine Docks. However my one complaint from my last visit is that in my room there were handles missing of several drawers. I find this unacceptable for a hotel... More
