The suite was lovely, we had so much space and the hotel was really clean and in such a great location!
Pros:

The property is in a ideal location, the rooms are exceptional and really clean. The staff are really friendly and helpful

Cons:

We could feel the vibrations from the underground but this was something you’d quickly forget about and wasn’t an issue for us. We only stayed for one night and didn’t find the bed overly comfortable but were informed we could request for a softer mattress which we will do when we return for a longer period. Overall this was a fabulous hotel and I will definitely return

This was an incredible property in an ideal location and with extremely friendly staff.
Pros:

I had the most amazing stay here. I was in London for 4 weeks and the staff here made it feel like a home away from home. They were extremely friendly, the facilities were clean and I was even given complimentary fruit bowls!

Cons:

Nothing

Schönes Hotel aber VIEL ZU LAUT
Pros:

Total schönes und großes Zimmer

Cons:

Es war irre laut und man hat die Bahn die ganze Zeit gehört und gespürt und konnte kam schlafen. Das stand in keiner Info. Hätte ich das gewusst, hätte ich nicht hier gebucht

Pros:

Close to Tower Hill Train station

Cons:

The breakfast is underwhelming. They brought one banana, one cup of granular yogurt, one croissant, one 150ml orange juice every day for the 10days I stayed. I complained at a point and they substituted the banana with apple on few days. It was not worth paying for breakfast at the property, it was a complete waste of money. The toilet is extremely tight, no place to even put sponge, the big towel cannot be freely hanged to dry. Towels are constantly moist. The fridge didn't have a freezer, don't bother buying ice cream, it will end up wasting. Cereal and milk are complimentary but you must always ask before they give you. There's no parking space for cars to drop you off at the residence therefore be sure you don't have any heavy item when checking in or departing the hotel

The staff was accommodative, place was clean at arrival and ample space in this self contained unit.
Pros:

I chose it due to ease of booking (book now, pay later), central location, and other amenities including kitchen. The staff at the check-in and check-out time was particularly helpful (Leila, Aroona and Roxana). They showed flexibility in check out time and allowed luggage drop off.
Thanks.

Cons:

The allocated suit didn't have the Tower view which I would have preferred otherwise.
