“This property stands out for its prime location near the Tower of London, coupled with modern, well-maintained rooms. I noted the in-house restaurant, The Lampery, with its bespoke menu, could be a real draw. It's a solid choice for both business and family travelers seeking a blend of convenience and comfort.”

decent stay, some issues noticed

easy access metro station friendly staff poor wifi running water late night
the location offers easy access to the tower of london. it is also an easy walk to tower bridge. the nearby metro station was useful (i used it often). the staff were also friendly and accommodating.
the wifi was quite poor . i had to use my phone as a hotspot (it was not ideal). i also found the sound of water running from adjacent rooms disturbing. it was especially noticeable late at night.

a few things need fixing..

broken treadmill empty wipes
the gym seemed a bit of a joke. several machines were out of order. the treadmill situation was particularly dire, with two out of three not working. the anti-bac wipes were empty. i mean, come on, it's not rocket science to keep things maintained. the whole setup felt a bit neglected.

great location helpful staff comfortable room small duvet odd shape stingy supplies
The location is GREAT , near the Tower Hill station. The room included everything I needed and was very comfortable. The staff were really nice and helpful.
The room was an odd shape. The duvet on the LARGE bed was small. Supplies of tea, coffee and milk in the room were stingy.

poor experience average breakfast
The air conditioning in the first room didn't work well and the toilet made strange noises. I had to switch rooms on the third day. The second room was better, but one day the curtain fell down. The breakfast was also very average, a disappointment after the initial impression.
