The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at the Tower Hotel thank you! We disappointingly couldn’t afford to upgrade to the Tower Bridge view room when we were offered it (it is our dream). Imagine our surprise and delight when we walked into our room to find we had an amazing view of the bridge!!! Thank you so much, our dreams came true. We had the best time. The location is fantastic. Our room was spacious, the bed so comfortable & facilities great. The staff are lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed it all. We will return."
