  • 25-meter indoor pool (a London unicorn)
  • Five-minute walk to Tower Hill station and Tower Bridge
  • Solid, reliable 4-star standards that don't feel like a gamble

Snabb Överblick: A functional, well-located corporate machine that happens to have a killer pool but zero neighborhood charm right on its doorstep.

Recenserat av @chopandtravel: I stayed here for a quick city break and the spa facilities completely saved me. Having a proper swim and jacuzzi session after walking around London all day felt like pure luxury. The room was super quiet and the breakfast was massive. Highly recommend for a recharge.

The hype

Travelers love the location and the pool, but often find the rooms feeling a bit 'tired' and the breakfast overpriced.

Reality check

You will likely be asked to pay a 'discretionary' service charge on everything from room service (£6 tray charge!) to the final bill.

  • You're a lap swimmer who needs a proper workout
  • You're visiting London with kids and need a pool to burn their energy
  • You need easy access to the City or Canary Wharf via the DLR

Renlighet & Underhåll

8.2
  • Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though high turnover means deep cleans (dust on vents, under beds) are sometimes missed.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Good. Grout is usually white, but watch for water spots on the glass partitions and hair in drains in older rooms.
  • Maintenance: Showing its age (built 2011). Expect scuffed skirting boards, scratched furniture, and the occasional loose socket.
  • Linens & towels: Standard hotel white. Clean but not luxurious. Towels can be a bit thin/scratchy if you're unlucky.
  • Odors & scents: Neutral. Corridors sometimes smell of 'industrial cleaner' or faint food smells from the atrium restaurant.

“I am a light sleeper and would appreciate a room on a high floor, away from the elevators and NOT facing the train tracks. If possible, an external-facing room with natural light would be preferred over an atrium view.”

FAQ & Dolda tips

Allt du verkligen vill veta innan du bokar.

Is the pool free for guests?

Yes, access to the 25m pool is included in your room rate, which is a huge perk for London.

How much is breakfast?

Around £23 per person if not booked in advance. It's a standard buffet; you can find better coffee for £4 at a nearby cafe.

Is it close to the Tube?

Yes, Tower Hill (District/Circle lines) and Tower Gateway (DLR) are a 5-7 minute walk away.

Can I open the windows?

Mostly no. Windows are floor-to-ceiling but sealed shut for safety and noise control.

Is there a fridge in the room?

Executive rooms have mini-fridges (often stocked). Superior rooms usually have empty mini-fridges or none at all—check ahead.

Does the hotel have AC?

Yes, all rooms have air conditioning, though controls can be finicky and some guests find it locked to a specific range.

Insider-tips

  • ✨

    Skip the hotel breakfast and walk 5 minutes to 'White Mulberries' at St Katharine Docks for better coffee and views.

  • ✨

    The 'Executive Lounge' access is rarely worth the upgrade price unless you plan to drink your weight in free soda/beer during the limited happy hour.

  • ✨

    Use the side entrance on Chamber Street if you want to avoid the busy main lobby crowds.

5 saker du bör veta innan du åker

  • 💡The 'tray charge' for room service is a steep £6 on top of already inflated menu prices.

  • 💡The elevators are notoriously slow during morning rush hour (8-9:30am) — take the stairs if you can.

  • 💡The 'spa' is actually quite nice but often fully booked; reserve treatments weeks in advance.

  • 💡You are right on the edge of Whitechapel — walk two blocks east and the vibe changes from 'tourist' to 'gritty city' very fast.

  • 💡The glass bathroom doors in some rooms offer less privacy than you might want if sharing with a friend.
