Dlaczego ludzie to uwielbiają

8.7⭐7030 opinii
  • The 25-meter Romanesque pool (a rarity in central London)
  • Unbeatable location right next to Tower Hill station and the Tower of London
  • Spacious rooms that can actually fit families (especially the two-queen setups)

Szybki przegląd: It’s a solid 4-star business hotel with a 5-star pool, but the 'City View' often just means 'Office Block & Train Tracks' view.

Przejrzane przez @rosiesroomsuk: I organized a surprise for my client flying in from NYC and the hotel let me check in at 9 AM to set up! The room was spacious enough for a huge balloon display, and that velvet sofa added such a luxe touch. My client was obsessed when she arrived.

The hype

Guests love the location and the pool size, but often feel the room temperature control (AC) is a battle between 'boiling' and 'broken'.

Reality check

The 'Executive' upgrade is often worth it just for the robe and slippers, which you'll need for the trek to the pool.

  • You are a swimmer—the 25m pool is legitimate for laps
  • You need to be in the City of London for business but want a resort vibe
  • You are a family visiting on a weekend (when pool access is unrestricted)

Czystość i Konserwacja

7.5
  • Housekeeping: Daily service is standard, but reviews note missed spots (dust on vents, under beds).
  • Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean surfaces, but watch out for mold in grout lines in older bathrooms and that intermittent drain smell.
  • Maintenance: Some wear and tear visible (scuffed skirting boards, tired carpets in hallways).
  • Linens & towels: Standard hotel white. Clean but not luxurious. Towels can be a bit scratchy.
  • Odors & scents: Lobby smells fresh; hallways can occasionally have a musty or drain-like odor.

Zanim zarezerwujesz

Warto wiedzieć

  • Luggage storage is available but verify if there's a fee (policies vary by booking type).
  • Breakfast is ~£23 per person if not included in your rate—often cheaper to book in advance.
  • The hotel is within the Congestion Charge zone.

Co spakować

  • Swim cap (sometimes enforced, good to have just in case)
  • Flip flops for the walk from room to spa (it's a long walk)
  • Earplugs (essential if you get a track-facing room)

Room Genie

Najlepsze wybory

  • Executive King with 'Tower View' (actually sees the Tower/Bridge)
  • Rooms overlooking the Roman Wall (quieter, unique history)
  • Higher floors (7+) on the south side for better light and less street noise

Pokoje do uniknięcia

  • Low floor rooms facing the railway tracks (often sold as standard 'City View')
  • Rooms near the elevator banks (high foot traffic noise)
  • Connecting rooms if you aren't using them (sound leakage is real)

Room Request Genie – skopiuj i wklej

“I am a light sleeper and kindly request a room facing AWAY from the Fenchurch Street train tracks. A view of the Roman Wall or internal courtyard would be preferred over a 'City View' if that means facing the station.”

FAQ i ukryte porady

Wszystko, co naprawdę chcesz wiedzieć, zanim zarezerwujesz.

Is the pool heated?

Technically yes, but reviews consistently describe it as 'refreshing' or 'chilly' rather than bath-warm. Don't expect a hot spring.

Can I leave my bags before check-in?

Yes, there is a luggage storage room. It is typically free for guests on arrival/departure days.

Is it close to the Tube?

Extremely. Tower Hill station is a 2-minute walk, and Tower Gateway DLR is 4 minutes away.

Does the hotel serve dinner?

Yes, Leo's Bar & Restaurant serves Mediterranean food, but you are surrounded by better local options.

Are there connecting rooms for families?

Yes, they offer family rooms (two queens) and connecting options, but book early as these sell out fast.

Is there a resort fee?

No resort fee, but breakfast is extra unless booked in your package.

Porady dla wtajemniczonych

  • ✨

    Join the 'Leonardo Advantage' club before booking for a potential 10% discount.

  • ✨

    The 'Roman Wall' visible from some rooms is an actual piece of the ancient London Wall—ask for a room with this view for a history bonus.

  • ✨

    If the main lifts are slow (they often are), there is a service elevator/stairwell option near the back that is faster for lower floors.

5 rzeczy, które warto wiedzieć przed wyjazdem

  • 💡The 'Sewer Smell': Intermittent drainage odors in hallways/bathrooms are a known, recurring building issue.

  • 💡The 'City View' Lottery: It usually means looking directly at an office building or the train station roof.

  • 💡The Pool Walk: You have to walk through public-ish corridors in your robe to get to the spa lift.

  • 💡AC Roulette: Some rooms have modern digital thermostats, others have older systems that struggle to cool below 22°C.

  • 💡The 'Executive' Lounge access isn't a thing here—Executive rooms just get you better in-room amenities (robe, slippers, discount on spa).
