The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

10/10 Excellent
"The Hotel was fab. A fantastic view of the bay, could only have been improved by a view of the bridge, but it was just a quick walk out the front door to get a bird's-eye view of it. Awesome The staff were very good too. We arrived late and they were very helpful getting us settled. I wish i'd know i could have added a complimentary breakfast to the room - but that really was my problem. Air conditioning could be added so that those of us from the Antipodes are a bit more comfortable. WE Had a great stay - thank you so much"

"Check in was great, the staff were so helpful. You can check in remotely (from your phone) or with the front of house staff. For check out, you can use the self check out machines, or with the staff. The rooms are immaculate, and have everything you could want. The beds are super comfy, the location is perfect for the O2 (or elsewhere in Canary Wharf/North Greenwich). My only complaint is that I wish I could have stayed longer! If you're on the fence about booking this hotel... book it. You won't be disappointed."
