Catherine's Dock.views a bit disappointing but in any other place you'd see reviews call them 'charming' and 'picturesque' it's just another part of the area and it does have some super eating venues which you can pick from your bedroom! The check-in staff are efficient and pleasant, which must be a strain when the place is busy and they are hosting conferences as well as dealing with a constant stream of visitors. At £12 the buffet breakfast with its wide range of hot and cold choices is good value but if you're on a budget there are plenty of places nearby that are a lot cheaper - Wetherspoons is just across Tower Hill. Towels are not fluffy but neither do they rub you raw.
The building is traditional mid 20thC and the exterior could really do with a make-over or at least a lick of paint, but the rooms are clean and well provisioned, although to nit-pick better biscuits would be welcome. Hotels in this part of London are not cheap because it's where tourism meets overnighting City workers, but given the proximity to all the attractions at this end of Town and the splendid views, The Tower is an ideal location. Next time, I would rather stay at the Bates Motel. The next morning, I had another slight disagreement with the shower, which for no apparent reason decided to change the temperature of the water to boiling, forcing me to jump out, pulling down the shower curtain with me as a result, with the shampoo still in my hair and eyes. It only took for me to turn on the air-conditioning (yes, some modern 20th century amenities have even made it to the Guoman), for little particles of (no doubt lead containing) paint to start their airborne floatation around the room and finally settle like dandruff in the worn-down carpet. The resulting thick layering of colourings was holding on for dear life and in many areas had given up the pretence of being stuck to the wall. Nestled between the River Thames and St Katherines Dock, and next to Tower Bridge, The Tower Hotel offers ideal location, a restaurant, a bar and a fitness. The room was still tired and old, and during whatever number of refurbishments it had experienced, clearly was painted over and over in layers. I was offered a more 'recently' (sic) refurbished room with a double bed instead. The staff were nice enough to calm me down, offer me a glass of water and listen to me ranting loudly. staring at the single bed in my $500 per night room, the stained carpets, dodgy shower curtain (yes, what hotel still does have shower curtains, really!), I went downstair to complain. After having spend 10 minutes in total shock.
Staying at the Guoman last night brought back painful memories. For two hours every evening, get two drinks for the price of one across all house brands, excluding Champagne and cocktails, from 5.00pm to 7.00pm.We bought a house last year, that had not been decorated since the 70s. Happy Hour - Everyone’s favourite hour of the day is doubled at Xi Bar. Serving a wide selection of light snacks, beers, wines and cocktails means there’s something for everyone, and the stunning backdrop of Tower Bridge and the River Thames makes Xi Bar the perfect place to unwind with a glass or two.

The Brasserie Restaurant - The Brasserie is ideal for casual business lunches, indulgent three course dinners and enjoying a glass of wine while soaking up stunning views.
