Top Hotels Near Discover Children’s Story Centre in London from NZ$93

"Room was good, close to the DLR station "

"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 alternative hotel and well worth the location being a little way out of central London. Rooms very generous size, all areas of ship spotless, staff very pleasant. Food in bar was delicious. Only negative during entire stay was that the cooked breakfast buffet food was barely warm. Would definitely stay here again, fantastic place to stay"

"Check it was completed and got stuff in the lift trying to find our room "

"Super efficient check in. Nice touch with a free welcome drink. Rooms and hotel really bohemian and quirky in design. Spotlessly clean. Staff really friendly. Only downside is the noise from the DLR. But otherwise, absolutely first class! Breakfast was plentiful and really good. Lots of choice"

"Good value for money in the area, I always stay here now."

"Easy check in, nice room, comfortable bed and pillows, lovely shower and complementary Dove shampoo and body wash, staff so welcoming and friendly, only a 7min walk to abba arena and a 5 minute walk to westfield shopping complex"

"The rooms are very well proportioned with beautiful period features, high ceilings and painted to a very high standard. Having a spacious modern and contemporary kitchen, dining and lounge area and with an extra TV made the experience feel really homely. Excellent value for money as well. The reception staff were very friendly and being located near Bethel Green a five minute walk away meant accessibility to central London by the central line was a 10 minute journey. The location in Tower Hamlets is diverse, multicultural and lively. We felt safe but notice there was a fair amount of social deprivation graffiti and in need of investment. "

"Breakfast was Nice. "
