Amazing Views and Great Service

polite staffpanoramic viewdelicious cocktails
The hotel staff, including the doorman, were polite and helpful. I was upgraded to a corner room offering panoramic views of Tower Bridge. The room cleanliness was excellent and the soaking tub was perfect after a day exploring. The cocktails at the Ting Lounge tasted great, and the view complemented them well.
The room felt a little cold. A portable heater was provided, which seemed inadequate for the space.
