The Tower - A Guoman Hotel Rooms

Standard Single
We call these Standard rooms because we sincerely believe they set a benchmark for hotels in this category. As well as everything you'd expect from Central London luxury hotels, these rooms include some extra touches that are uniquely Guoman. In each of our Standard Single rooms at The Tower hotel, you'll find thick, comfortable mattresses and pure Egyptian cotton bed linen. The little things that, when you add them together, aren't so little after all. Complimentary Wi-Fi for all guests.
Standard Double
Whether you're with us at The Tower hotel on business or purely for pleasure, our spacious, comfortable Standard Double rooms are the ideal place to relax and recharge. As well as everything you'd expect from Central London luxury hotels, these rooms include some extra touches that are uniquely Guoman. Egyptian cotton bed linen and a 32" plasma TV in every room are comforts you'd normally associate with a 5-star London hotel. But at The Tower hotel, you'll discover we believe in doing things up to a standard, not down to a price. Complimentary Wi-Fi for all guests.
Standard Twin
We call these Standard rooms because we sincerely believe they set a benchmark for hotels in this category. As well as everything you'd expect from Central London luxury hotels, these rooms include some extra touches that are uniquely Guoman. When you stay in one of our Standard Twin rooms at The Tower hotel, you have free use of our gym; and if you fancy a snack to go with what you are watching the movie on your 32" plasma TV, room service is only a phone call away, whatever time of day or night. Complimentary Wi-Fi for all guests.
Deluxe Double
A recently refurbished Deluxe room promises something extra, something a bit special. At a Guoman 4-star London hotel, it delivers all that - and more. Our Deluxe Double rooms provide a comfortable retreat at the end of a busy day's shopping, sightseeing or business in the City. And if the meeting overruns or the band plays seven encores, don't worry: room service is only a phone call away, however late the hour. Complimentary Wi-Fi for all guests.

Average Experience Overall

Our stay at the Tower Hotel was about average overall. The pros to the hotel were that you had a great view of the Tower Bridge, and also the rooms are clean and well maintained. However, the level of customer service at this hotel needs to be improved.

Wonderful!

We absolutely loved staying at The Tower. It was a great location in the city,, but away from the super busy/touristy areas. A short walk and quick ride on the tube put you anywhere you wanted to be. The staff and concierge were absolutely fantastic. We would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic

Just returned from a two night stay at the hotel and I can't fault it. I upgraded on arrival at the hotel to a deluxe room overlooking Tower Bridge. The view was spectacular. Spotlessly clean and friendly staff. Didn't have breakfasr at the hotel. Plenty of eateries - Starbucks( right next to hotel), pub, various delis, coffee shops etc. all within a few mins walk around the docks. When I come back to London I will definitely stay here.

Good location

The hotel is in a great location. My room had a nice view of the tower. Like other reviewers have said the place is a bit run down to still be classified as a four star. The wallpaper looked like it was about 50 years old and was peeling off everywhere. There was no mini-fridge in the room and the hairdryer provided sucked.

Guoman Sucks

My aunt broke her shoulder in Italy and we had to cancel the 2nd part of our trip - London. I notified them well ahead of our arrival and cancelled. They refunded NOTHING. 25-50% cancel fee would have been, high, but a 100% fee for a room I never saw is highway robbery. I didn't get to stay there this time and I certainly never will again.
