5/5 Excellent

"Perfect location by the Tower of London. Super convenient as the hotel is directly above the Tower Hill tube stop for the Circle and District lines. Loved the room set up - while it wasn’t the largest space it was very well laid out and efficient. There were two of us staying in the room and it never felt cramped. I was impressed with the Citizen M app and iPad which could be used to control everything in the room, including the blinds, lights, television and air conditioning. Everything worked seamlessly. The bed was larger than I expected and was super comfortable. Will definitely stay here again next time I am in London. "

5/5 Excellent

"Loved that I stow my luggage until my room was ready. Great staff. Very polite. The two issues I had was the elevator maintenance made it long to get up to room with only one lift, and the toilet placement was terrible. It was placed narrowly between the sink and the wall with a toilet paper mount on the wall jabbing you when you sat down. "
