The Tower Hotel, by Thistle
Checking in was terrible, staff was rude and the room was terrible. The room was very outdated completely different from the pictures they post online.

What a depressing and budget hotel, it's not what we expected with their selling point of being calm/good wellbeing with no windows only lights. The good point for the hotel that it was close for our visits and a good shower

Sea Containers London
Good hotel right on the water front. The city view rooms should be taken with a pinch of salt as you don’t see much really. Great cocktail bar in floor 12 with prices that are not that bad, just a bit bad. Room rates seem on the high side but I guess you’re paying extra for the location.
