Pros:

That is was close to the Tower of London

Cons:

I needed face clothes and it took hours for housekeeping to bring them, the room needed a fresh coat of paint, there where stains on the carpet and there were no drawers to put clothes in just a wardrobe to have certain items of clothing to hang I asked for a few more hangers and was told that was not possible, if you pay $1,600 to stay in a hotel the least you can do it make sure there is storage for clothes or more hangers if the guest requests a few more.

Whilst it is an old hotel, with many original features it is clean and functional. It could do with a refresh/wood care, but I liked the period look and authentic feel.

Cons:

Nothing it was great

Old hotel in great location
Pros:

Location ..
Tube not too far away ..

Cons:

It’s an old hotel ..
Signs of wear very visible.
A kettle in every room in 2026 must be a very basic requirement. We had no kettle
