    We had a lovely 3 days - although out most of the time, location was great, and room was comfy.

    No 'Welcome Information booklet' in the room advising the following: * how to connect to the Wifi * where the Tea / Coffee was hiding * that the room service ends at 10pm * options of how to order out after 10pm * no breakfast dining access unless you had that option - so had to go looking for breakfast!

    Location was great Room was comfortable Starbucks - as we could not find the Tea / coffee etc.

    We upgraded our room to a Bridge View. The bed was comfortable, but the room was very tired, as was the bathroom. Both are in need of some urgent redecoration and maintance. The fan in the bathroom didn't work & the light in the wardrobe didn't work either. The wardrobe door and skirting boards were all. Badly chipped and damaged. The wardrobe doors were of a very poor quality.

    The hotel was in a perfect location. The lobby and bar areas were very well looked after, staff were very polite and helpful.

    NOT ENOUGH ELEVATORS. For an 800 room hotel, there are 2-3 working elevators. Going up and down takes forever. They need at least 8 elevators to make the ranking in this category good. Also, I think the rooms need to be updated. They were still nice, but given the price and amount of people who stay here, they need to update it.

    We loved the location of the hotel. The view and the ease of getting to the metro in incredible. Beds were comfortable, shower pressure was great, breakfast was good, and staff was mostly helpful.

    1/ The number of elevators in operation was limited. The hotel was very busy therefore they were often delayed or full by the time they reached the floor that the room was located on 2/ There was no tea/coffee making facility in the room.

    The room was as expected and clean with a good breakfast.

    Being asked to check in on a machine when there were three staff standing behind Reception who should have dealt with us. Service in the bar (10pm on a busy Saturday) was also very slow so disappointing.

    Location was perfect and variety of restaurants around the docks were brilliant

    Breakfast. Despite waiting for a 'quiet;' time it was packed. I have b been in less crowded rugby scrums. My wife's cooked food was cold. Tea and coffee not served at the table. Not easy to push through crowds with a cup of tea when you are 80 with a tremor. Ridiculously overpriced for such an awful experience.

    Fantastic views of Tower bridge
