Amazing location, St Katherine's Dock next to Tower Bridge.
My room was furnished to a good standard and I found the bed particularly comfortable.
The en suite had one or two issues which needed attention, such as a loose toilet roll holder.
The shower (over a bath) had a good water pressure although there were slight fluctuations in temperature. The inclusion of under floor heating and night lights were particularly appreciated.
Our evening meal in "The Vicinity" was very enjoyable. Staff were attentive and courteous and the food was excellent.
For breakfast there was a wide range of options available, although I didn't sample it all. For my taste the bacon and hash browns were a little over crispy.
On balance I believe the hotel offers good value and I look forward to a return visit.

Beautiful view from the room of the Thames and location is perfectly central. I added a few shots I took of tower bridge from my room and the others are right in front of the hotel. Rooms are spacious but slightly dated but the shower water pressure is AMAZING and I can overlook the slight datedness as the water compensates in full. If you look at my photo, you will notice the Shard right behind Tower Bridge which for me was such a cool shot being able to enjoy the view of the Old and the New in just 1 shot.
Great hotel. Great location. Great friendly staff at breakfast. Great buffet breakfast including pastries. Comfortable beds and clean rooms. Walking distance to Tower of London, Tower Bridge and bus stops for the hop on/off big top bus tours. Definitel22 our stay here (4 nights) and highly recommend.
Rooms are fine (small but with good views) and breakfast is decent. However, since checking out and receiving the final settled bill i have been hit with a payment on my credit card which equates to a night stay. I have since called numerous time and emailed 7 times with zero response. If this is a legitimate charge they should be able to send a response with an invoice however at the moment i have no clue why i have been charged an extra night! I am writing this here in the hope that someone connected with the hotel reads it and can check their inbox and reply to me!
The hotel room was clean and specious with superb views of Tower Bridge. The staff were so lovely and helpful. On site there is a coffee shop and a little shop for snacks. The restaurant Vicinity serves great meals and a selection of cocktails. Can't wait to stay again!
Our room was very small but clean. It didn't have a fridge or mini bar but that didn't worry us.
Breakfast was good & the bar looking over the river & bridge is great.
Service was kind, courteous & very helpful.
The location is 5 stars if you're looking to explore the city, St Katherine Docks are behind the hotel with plenty of food outlets as well.
Overall, for a couple of nights while touring the city it's a great location, a little pricey but I don't think you will find better.

Update 12/11/23
Sadly on my second visit a couple of stars dropped as whilst the room was ok it was below the previous standard by some distance. Unfortunately it seems location is everything in the hotel as the room we had was affected badly by noise from doors closing on cleaning cupboards, stairwell and kitchen so a terrible night's sleep was had. A real shame.
Original review: Really nice hotel!
Rooms were nice and clean and beds were comfy. Staff on reception were really friendly and welcoming on check in/check out.
Whole place was at really a good standard of cleanliness and maintenance.
Breakfast was excellent.
Location is fantastic with great views of Tower Bridge and the Docks depending on which side of the building you are staying in.
Lots of amenities close by as you would expect in central London.
Would highly recommend!
