We loved the location of the hotel. Not Lot of space in the room if you have a lot of luggage and it was a very busy hotel. But we didn’t have any major issues.

A very nice place, had a good smell, I loved the bathroom. It was so cold but there was a heater in the room. Bathtub was my favorite part of the hotel. The views were immaculate from my room of the tower bridge.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Disfunction Room and Services I think this property location is ideal with quick access to a variety of transportation, restaurants and historical scenic sights. However, my room had no body wash, television didn’t work along with some of the bathroom light fixtures out of order. My first day I reported all the issues to the front desk personnel, then was out all day. On my return after 8pm, I still didn’t have any body wash, although the room was noticeably attended to….the television and bathroom light fixture still didn’t work. I had to return to the front desk with the same complaint, 30 minutes went by before I got some body wash and the room attendant said they didn’t have a key to affixed the soap in the shower - felt like I was out camping. A maintenance person came to my room almost 10pm, which I think was awful. Although the maintenance person tried fixing the television and bathroom lighting, they still didn’t work, even after spending 5 days stay. Throughout all my travels for vacations and business, I have never had maintenance coming to my hotel room to do work when I’m about to get some rest. This overall experience was just not what I was expecting for my vacation to London.
