3 nights London end of 4 weeks travelling UK.
Pros:

The view was amazing!!!
And reasonably accessible to train station and buses.

Cons:

Our room, while we’d booked a room with a view and it was fabulous, was very tired, I believe they are upgrading floor by floor, but on booking it, going by the pictures, we certainly did not get a modern room. Money wise that is a bit sad, especially when I’d booked it as the “superior” hotel to end our 4 weeks of UK travel!!! There was no power outlets or USB ports at all by the bed. Only over at the desk. The bathroom is the old bath with shower curtain , luckily there was grab rails to help get in and out. The breakfast room was chaotic, we did 2 mornings really early which wasn’t too bad, the cereal area didn’t have a great selection of cereal compared to all the other hotels we’ve been in the last 4 weeks and the food is a good…
But too salty tasting.

Pros:

Läget var fantastiskt! Liv och rörelse. Kul med restaurang och bar utanför.

Cons:

Väldigt mycket trafik i hissarna under viss tid under dagen. Mycket väntetid. Vi tog trapporna flera gånger som första gången inte var lätt att hitta trots skyltning.
Vi stördes också av renovering. Borrning och bankande tidigt på morgonen. Vi hade ju ändå semester.

Anstrengend
Pros:

Wir hatten direkten Blick zur Tower Bride. Die U-Bahn Station ist auch in der Nähe.
Frühstück ist sehr gut und man kann sich gut stärken
Nach einem Tag in London, hat man das System im Griff.

Cons:

Da man sehr viel mit dem Handy macht ( Lageplan, Fotos) wäre es für mich persönlich super, eine Steckdose neben dem Bett zu haben.

Over all lovely! Great location and easy access to Tower Hill Station.
Pros:

We started in a Standard Room for 2 nights. Love the fact that there was a bath. Room was oldish...
We then stayed 5 nights in a King Room which were recently renovated. Loved the renovated room. Sad the bath was removed and no longer an issue.

Cons:

When walking into the hotel, there is a smell hanging around. Most times it smelled like pee. Would be great once the whole hotel is renovated and done. Renovations took place during times we wanted to rest in the room.
