Staff were very warm, welcoming, and attentive. My family loved our stay so much. It is right across the Tower of London and you also have the view of Tower Bridge. It’s 3min walk to The Tube (London Train Line) which was fantastic as it was easy for us to go to different tourist spots without worrying about the traffic. Will definitely book again when I return to London.

This is our hidden gem - if you're looking for space, grate location and excellency in cleaniness. Value also for money as well as unbeatable access to transit at the Tower of London. The spotless kitchen is fully stcoked with washing machine, dishwasher and all kitchen utentils. Beds are clean and comy and they went the exra mile to make up the sleep sofa bed pre-arrival.The staf really takes pride in making sure your stay is comfortable. We highly recommendm however, the Residences are quirky and vary greatly from roon to room so if you have special requirements do be be specific with yur room selection. The windows a triple-glaze but there is some rumbling from the underground usually until about 11pm. The matress was so comfy this did not disturb our sleep.

This hotel was in a great area for siteseeing, restaurants, & bars. We chose it because of the in-room clothes washer/dryer but it was a great location too! There’s a tube station just a few minutes walk away, & having the Tower of London across the street was nice. We also had quite a few other site seeing possibilities within walking distance. (I recommend booking a tour of the Billingsgate Roman Baths!) The staff was very helpful & patient with us Americans who were confused by a few things in the room. lol. I would definitely stay here again.
