The room itself is outdated, I don’t overly mind that but what I did mind was the drainage system. You could hear a gurgling noise and running water from other rooms the entire night. Impossible to sleep. It was so loud and it was some sort of vent in the floor

The Tower Hotel is a classy hotel near the Tower and Tower Bridge. It’s lovely to see the bridge when you walk out the door and from certain room windows. My view was the marina, which was also pretty. Friendly staff; convenient restaurant and coffee areas.
