The Tower Hotel

This is a great location. Just a three or four block walk to the nearest Tube Station. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Concierge service was great. The building itself has some issues. The room was very, very hot, and the thermostat in our room was non-functioning. We opened the windows to let in cool air, but noise from the street made it difficult to sleep. Reception desk brought us two fans, which helped. We learned to leave the windows and heavy drapes open and the lights turned off while we were out for the day. Don't try to rest in the room during the day. The room doors are heavy and housekeeping allows them to slam as they go about cleaning the rooms. The room was never vacuumed during our four day stay. We had a room with two twin beds. The mattresses aren't supportive, they rather sag in the middle.. As in most hotels in Europe, there is no top sheet on the bed, but a heavy duvet for cover. Too heavy for such a hot room. A top sheet would have been enough. The hair dryer in the room quickly (2 minutes) overheats, but they brought us a better one that worked well. The staff could not have been nicer.
