The location and views are both world class, one star for each. The overflowing toilet (ours and at least 1 other on our floor), no Power points anywhere near the beds (an issue for those with overnight medical devices), wifi that didn’t work for 3/4 of our stay, and mould in the bathroom however were pretty woeful. A poor very out dated hotel in one of London premier locations, disappointing when the photos are incredible, but the product is lackluster. While the staff did try to help, you can’t polish a turd.

Great location, on 10th floor and great views overlooking Katherine’s Dock which made the room worth the price (as furniture and fittings are very tired). The room could do with modernising, however it was clean and tidy and with the heater provided was warm enough.
