Почему людям нравится
- Unbeatable connectivity—Aldgate station is literally next door
- Jin Bo Law rooftop bar offers some of the best Gherkin and skyline views in London
- Floor-to-ceiling windows in many rooms make the city feel like your wallpaper
Краткий обзор: It's a sharp, functional business hotel that parties on the roof—efficient for sleeping, excellent for drinking, but don't expect cozy charm.
Подтверждено @kimvdpols: I stayed here for a special occasion and the view of The Gherkin blew me away. Sipping champagne by the window with that skyline backdrop was the highlight of my trip. Definitely ask for a high floor!

Reality check
The 'thin walls' are a frequent complaint—light sleepers should definitely pack earplugs or request a room away from the elevators.
- You're in town for business in the City or sightseeing at the Tower of London
- You prioritize a modern, spotless bathroom over old-world character
- You want to stumble from a rooftop cocktail directly into an elevator

FAQ и советы

Советы инсайдеров
- ✨
There is often no mirror next to the plug sockets in the bedroom—hair styling can be a challenge.
- ✨
The showers are great (rain heads) but often lack a shelf for your toiletries, so you'll be bending down to the floor.
- ✨
Skip the hotel breakfast and walk 2 minutes to 'Grounded' for a better coffee and vibe.
5 вещей, которые нужно знать перед поездкой
💡The 'Handy' smartphones that used to be a perk are largely gone or defunct—don't rely on them.
💡The elevators can be slow during peak rooftop bar hours (evenings/weekends).
💡The 'City View' isn't always the Gherkin; some rooms just look at office blocks.
💡You might find the room lighting a bit dim/moody for working at night.
💡The lobby scent is distinct—some love the 'fresh' smell, others find it chemical.
