環境:定的塔橋景觀房 排的第一間圖中紅色部分全部被遮擋。聯繫酒店換了房間結果被冷落到8點才有房間(前台客服也是看人下菜😅) 衞生:浴缸超級臟!不知道從哪裡溢出來😅😅😅聯繫不上客服服務部,樓道里有保潔叫來看了一下結果拿着房間毛巾一擦就走了.......也不給換一個毛巾。然後人就消失了。。。。。。 設施:全樓客房空調系統是壞的…..沒有空調衹有風扇。同上聯繫不上客服服務部就這個電話打了半小時 祝大家好運🍀;最後換完房間後的 早上還是有幸看到開橋

The hotel is perfectly located and easy to reach. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes located nearby. The best view from the window is guaranteed no matter where your room is located: river or marina side.

Best location I’ve ever stayed at in London.  We asked and paid for a tower view which was amazing. The hotel is on the district and circle line and easy to get where you want or take a comfortable stroll along the Thames.  Our room was spotless and had everything we needed.  The only reason I’ve given fewer points on service is because we didn’t need it.  Everything was so easy from the self check-in at reception to express checkout. We’ve already booked to return at Christmas.

There was nothing about my stay that wouldn't make me want to come here again, but I will be looking at alternatives for my next teip to London. The hotel is in a prime location, with stunning views, amazing restaurants, and easy access to the underground. However, the hotel itself is in need of some update. The room was dirty, with dust everywhere and the toilet/bathroom needing an extra clean. The walls show signs of water damage, the carpet is missing sections in corners, and nothing got better when the maid came during the day. The vu restaurant is good, but the hotel breakfast in the gallery at £25 is a rip-off; go to a restaurant nearby.
