    The Tower Thistle is a four star hotel found by the side of the River Thames overlooking Tower Bridge.
    There are 800 rooms which are comfortable with the usual Tea and coffee facilities we English enjoy so much.
    For Breakfast there is either a continental or a full English, buffet style choice.

    If you are going to the Theatre or would just like to eat early, the hotel offers a carvery at a special price for early diners.

    In addition to its location on the Thames, you can walk to the Tower of London within a few minutes.

    If you don't want to eat in the hotel but want to cheap meal, there is a JD Witherspoons pub near by.

    Great Location,
    Wonderful Views,
    Near Tube.
    Good Food

  • The hotel no longer sports the 'Thistle' logo as it has now been put into a new division of the company called 'Guomen'. It still has a way to go before it is seen as an exclusive brand.

    I found a good deal for 79 pounds, posted it on the VT deal section and stayed there ready for the VT january meeting (2006)
    Unfortunately, if you book a cheap room you end up on an un-refurbished floor. It was probably the height of fashion in 1973, but the chocolate covered room (furnishings rather than food you understand) has had nothing done to it since. This type of room would be an embarrasment to a one-star hotel, yet alone a place that claims 4 stars.

    I explained this at great length to the duty manager. To give him his due, he arranged a free upgrade. The new room was much more what one would expect. Only the horribe window fittings remained from the 1970's and they were probably heritage- protected as an design feature.

    Therefore, if you do book this hotel, ensure you get one of the modern rooms.

    Breakfast too is not up to scratch. The buffet was acceptable, but a 'full english' in a four-star should be individually cooked. Mine was lukewarm at best. I also asked for fresh coffee - and recieved a pot of stewed tea. To make matters worse the room was decorated with some cod medieval rubbish pertaining to the tower of London, and I could see people drinking proper coffee in a starbucks in the Dock are through the picture window.

    My wife commented that I had booked 'The tower', but the real 'Tower of London' would probably have been more comfortable. Well, at least you get to wake up in the morning here.

    Superb views of St Katherine's dock, the Tower of London or Tower Bridge.

    Superb location then also - although it is a good 5 minute walk or more to the nearest tube.

  • This big hotel is located on the east side of London, next to the popular tourist attraction, the Towers of London. It has fantastic views on the Tower Bridge, the Thames and what I loved most, St Katherine's Docks.
    There're quite a lot of shops and restaurants in the area. One of the rare hotel I stayed in where breakast was included...but I'd recommend to go to one of the many bakeries around instead.
    The rooms are very, very standard and clean.
    I'd suggest this hotel only for a business stay because, as it's mostly a business area, all is pretty much dead after 6pm and everything is closed during week ends.
