"Great stay at 130 Queen’s Gate Apartments. The staff was polite and helpful, and the room was oversized and very comfortable. The apartment had a separate bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen with oven, dishwasher, and large refrigerator, plus a combo washer dryer. Wonderful place."

"Fantastic property!! The flat was spacious, beautiful, comfortable, and provided indoor/outdoor living with a private balcony and windows easily opened. The location was perfect! We were able to walk in any direction to the best city sites. I will say there were three items that almost caused problems and I had seen these mentioned in the reviews, but assumed they would all be resolved. HOWEVER, we discovered it was ALL USER ERROR, being that we just didn’t know how to operate them properly. To...

"The location is excellent, the staff are great, and the room (a studio) was surprisingly spacious. There is no housekeeping other than emptying the bin (which is fine, just noting it). The lighting was terrible. I had to use my phone flashlight to see anything in the kitchen or in the wardrobes after dusk. Other than that, it is excellent value in an area with some very expensive hotels and small rooms. "

"Great location and simple check-in. The property was very clean and comfortable, with all the bits you'd need to feel at home. The only issue was the kettle that had a terrible leak, and the coffe machine was loud and tricky to operate."

"We had the room in the basement and there seems to be a problem with the ventilation which wouldn‘t stop running or start running in the middle of the night.
Once we figured out to leave the window next to the entrance open just a tad, we were fine and the air also was loads better.
Nevertheless we enjoyed our stay! "

"Great location right in the middle of everything. The property team was very responsive and accommodating. The flat was perfect size for two people and the bed was super comfy. Just be prepared for stairs, which we were aware of ahead of time. "

"Very efficiently run hotel in the centre of the city,close to theatre land , the embankment and covent garden. Our only issue was the size of the room, tight for two people! "
"The breakfast was great each morning. Staff were helpful and were always polite and kind. The room was clean and the view of the Thames River was always mesmerizing."
"We absolutely loved our stay! The manager and all staff were so friendly. The small riches : fresh water (and bottles) on each floor, the business salon with tea and coffee, and the amenities cupboard!
The only thing that was needed : a plug in the washroom . Clearly a man designed it - no where to dry your hair .. we had to use the plug for the kettle. "
"A Room with a View, But Lacking Comfort
We booked The Tower Hotel by Thistle for a double celebration: my wife’s 40th birthday and our six-year-old daughter’s first trip to London. While the location provided unforgettable memories, the hotel itself is heavily dated.
The Positives:
Views & Location: The absolute highlight is the unbeatable location and the breathtaking view of Tower Bridge from our window.
Generous Space: Our family room was surprisingly large for the city centre.
Comfort for Children: The pull-out bed for our daughter was a full double, which she found incredibly comfortable.
Service: The staff were genuinely friendly.
The Negatives:
Stifling Temperatures: The room was far too warm, as the air conditioning is centrally locked at 25°C. When we queried this, reception simply handed us a plug-in fan.
Poor Sleep Quality: Sleep was further hampered by an uncomfortable main bed and hopelessly flat pillows.
Lack of Plugs: There are zero plug sockets near the bed for charging devices.
Archaic Bathrooms: The bathroom desperately needs modernising. It features separate hot and cold taps rather than a mixer, and an old-fashioned rubber plug on a chain.
The Verdict:
If you book purely for the iconic views, spacious rooms, and brilliant location, it delivers. However, if you value a good night's sleep and modern comforts, this property leaves a lot to be desired."
"Fantastic hotel and location, rooftop bar is comfortable with a DJ playing, the staff were excellent in every department.
Food was great too.
Room was clean and well stocked."
