I'm particularly drawn to its location near Tower Bridge and the Tower of London, and the fact that it was once a grammar school adds to its charm. The Indian culinary offerings and spa promise a distinctive experience.”

Nice stay!

The hotel's location near Tower Bridge was fantastic. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The breakfast was great (especially the pancakes!). The complimentary minibar with soft drinks added extra value.
The gym was small, it needs more free weights.

Wonderful Boutique Stay

smooth processattentive staffgreat showroomlimited buffet
I found the check-in process smooth. The staff were attentive. I had a senior classroom, it offered extra space and a great showroom. The hotel is near London Bridge Station and close to the Shard.
I experienced a problem with the room service menu. I thought it was limited. I hoped for more options. The mini bar only had soft drinks when paying over £450 a night, so more options should be offered.

The shower was great , I must admit.
There were no staff to assist with luggage , which was surprising. Upon entering , the restaurant looked to be the reception area , causing confusion. The room size was smaller than what the pictures showed , so I felt deceived.
