The Tower in Southwark

Don’t bother with this hotel, there are nicer hotels in London. Rooms very small, instant coffee, chilly room with no heat. Shower is hot then cold (not a nice experience. Breakfast buffet not with the price.

We had such a great experience here! Wonderful coochi board and drinks. Our waiter Shofi was exceptional. Will definitely be returning during our stay!

I was at The Tower with my daughter and I had a “bridge view room” for three nights. Due to a change of the flight schedule I had to extend one night and … the room assigned for the additional night was very very cold. The Heating system did not work and I had to insist a lot, nearly discuss to change it. The manager on duty at the front desk/ reception on the 10th December afternoon was really useless and did not want to change my room. Only the politeness and understanding of a Receptionist allowed me and my daughter to spend a decent additional night at The Tower assigning a different room with an efficient heating system. I travel a lot and although this hotel is conveniently located it is very clear the there is a significant lack of management and supervision. With more focused managers things could be much better. In any case we were ok and we enjoyed London. I suggest to verify more frequently the performance of some of the Duty Managers.

Viel zu viele Menschen, man muss sich trotz Vorreservierung draußen lange anstellen, damit man sich dann drinnen für die Kronjuwelen nochmal 1 Stunde anstellt und auch vor den anderen Ausstellungen sind Warteschlangen...würde ich nicht mehr machen.

Prima hotel direct tegen The Tower Bridge. Nette comfortabele kamers, waarvan een aantal uitzicht hebben op The Tower Bridge. Prima ontbijt, maar wel erg druk.

Lo pasamos genial hoy con, lamentablemente, muy poca gente en la Torre, ¡un buen momento para visitar, aunque algunas áreas están fuera de los límites, pero para ver las Joyas de la Corona no hacer cola fue maravilloso! Recuerde comprar los boletos con anticipación en línea como única forma en este momento. Muy recomendable.

Dating from the 11th century, this castle has history oozing out of every stone. The central White tower was completed in 1098, has wall 100ft thick. The Crown jewels are kept here, and the castle has served as a prison, where princes have been murdered, also traitors have been kept in horrid conditions.

We did the guided tour first then wandered around to see everything else, Particularly liked the animal statues made from sculpted wire mesh.

Man sollte es einmal gesehen haben, ein Muss für den London-besuch, sehr schön und alles sehr gepflegt

Autant l'extérieur n'a rien de spectaculaire, autant l'intérieur est étonnant, vaste et très agréable à visiter. Ne pas rater les joyaux de la Couronne !!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great tour by a Beefeater and then left to get on with your visit. Good range of food available at reasonable prices.

In all my years of going into London this was the first time I have visited The Tower. We spent three hours here and this could have been longer. Well worth joining one of the many beefeater led tours.

This is a real gem, you will not be dissappointed, you can experience a whole lot of history in a fabulous location. Take a guided tour and you will learn so much, enjoy one of the great places in English history.

Muy histórico y vale la pena ir.Seguridad grosera, cuando sonó mi teléfono y lo saqué, la seguridad gritó en voz alta y precipitada a mi 'No FOTOS'.Le dije que NO estoy tomando fotos.Él le gritó: "¡No trates de ser inteligente"!¡Comportamiento insultante hacia mí y mi familia!

There is always something different to see when you visit, whether you take the tour or not. Make sure you wear suitable footwear as all cobbled and I saw quite a lot of people struggling as they were wearing heeled shoes not suitable for this kind of venue

Amazing history and a must do , staff and tour guides are very good. Location is easy enough to travel to and plenty of things to do, gets very busy and early mornings seem to be the busiest times. We went I after 1pm and there was no queue

easy self-guided tour. Lots of steps and on cobblestone so easy to trip. Not many employes around to answer questions. Flowers beautiful. Shops and restaurants around the area.

Incredible history here in these buildings. Prebook your tickets if you can to avoid some of the queues

Verdadeira aula de história. Vale cada centavo o tour pela torre. Recomendo a visita logo pela manhã, no primeiro horário, por conta das filas.

Dit Middeleeuws gebouw moet je zeker bezocht hebben. Hier zijn velen onder de bijl geraakt.Ten tijde Henry VIII was dit gebouw een gruwel. Hier kan je verschillende kamers bezoeken waar ze werden gemarteld. De kroonjuwelen van de Koningin zijn ook te bezichtigen. Een aanrader !!

Unbedingt sehenswert, ein schönes Gelände mit vielen Gebäuden mit verschiedenen Ausstellungen.

Si vas a Londres, la Torre debe ser el objetivo número uno. Los Beefeaters que hacen los tours también lo hacen divertido.

Super place to visit, totally wonderful great day spent here very clean and well signposted to different area's of the castle now have a new cafe area offering great food and drinks

Take the Beefeater tour - its hilarious. Really interesting exhibits. The Crown Jewels were spectacular.

The Tower of London was an intereting place. I was a little disappointed that I could not see the Chapel as you had to do a tour. I just bought a ticket and wandered on my own with everyone else. I was tired as I had just gotten to London after flying from USA. But the ravens were cool and the area where Anne Boylen and others lost their life was humbling and definitely requires a moment to just stop and reflect.

Room service refused alcohol and told me ‘Normal people don’t order alcohol at 1am’ Nothing like being profiled...... Will never stay again

Had a lovely weekend and went to visit the tower and the flames. The feature itself was amazing but the crowd control by G4S was horrendous! Nearly causing fights amongst the queue! The crowd management was abissmal and left hand right hand didn’t have a clue! Spoilt the evening but we saw the flames.

The Tower is definitely a must see when visiting London, Even just walking around the Tower you can soak up and think back on its colorful history. Unfortunately we just missed the remembrance Day torches. Next time!

Just brilliant with full choices of both breakfast and dinner.Anyone cannot not take a liking the cuisine at this hotel.The choice and quality of breakfast is breathtaking and gets you in the mood to face the day ahead. Thank you.

We were lucky enough to be invited to join Yeoman of the Guard, Simon, for an evening tour of the Tower grounds and attend the Ceremony of the Keys. A great tour and we learned more about our history, from Simon, than you could ever read from books. Incredible visit.

This exceeded all my expectations the beefeater guided tour was outstanding, didn’t visit Crown Jewels

Fuimos a tomar el té de la tarde un domingo. La comida era fantástica, y vino en un soporte en forma de puente de la torre. La selección de infusiones de hierbas no era buena (solo manzanilla) y para un lugar que ofreciera vistas del puente de la torre, podría ser mejor limpiar sus ventanas.

Salí temprano (9 AM) un viernes y casi no tuve que esperar por las joyas de la corona. Guau. . .

What a great tour! Clive, our Beefeater tour guide was brilliant, informative and hilarious. So much history. Well worth the effort. Tip:Go early, do the Crown Jewels display first and then catch a Beefeater guided tour afterwards.

Teníamos una gran pocos en la historia englands. Aunque tuvimos que hacer cola para ver las coronas, valió la pena. La Torre Blanca es muy grande y tiene un montón de vistas interesantes en la historia. Caballeros y un montón de otras cosas que ver. Asegúrate de que están en buenas condiciones para caminar todas las escaleras. . Pero vale la pena!

Si eres un turista o en realidad desde Londres. Estas hermosas vistas y escenas históricas son uno no olvidar.

Hôtel très correct, aux pieds du Tower Bridge.

a beautiful & historic location, easily accessible and a must see Nearby to an underground station and within easy walking distance from other tourist attractions lovingly maintained and well presented

Recientemente fui aquí para una cena de empresa en la Torre Blanca. Fantástico lugar con excelente comida y servicio. Interesante y divertido guías que hizo el beefeater velada tan bien.

Only having limited time on our short break we decided to eat at the hotel, what a good decision that turned out to be. Great service Great value Great view, we had a lovely night.

Excellent localisation juste à côté de tower bridge. Très belle vue sur la tamise d'un côté et sur la marina de l'autre. Mais hôtel est vraiment vieillot et aurait besoin d'une bonne renovation. Attention aussi il y a 6 ou 7 chambres très petites à tous les étages...a éviter donc.

Die Anlage ist unbedingt einen Besuch wert, die Kronjuwelen sind das Highlight!! Unvorstellbar, was vor so vielen Jahrhunderten von Menschenhand geschaffen wurde!

ロンドン塔の目の前にあるレストランです。食事を取る予定でしたが時間がかかるということで軽いパンとコーヒーで終わりました。ロンドン塔の近くで便利です。

É uma oportunidade de desfrutar da cozinha inglesa a preços acessíveis, ainda que este não seja o forte deles.

No sonido caro sólo para conseguir en los terrenos del castillo, pero nos quedamos muy contentos con la cantidad de cosas que puedes ver desde las joyas de la familia museo muy guay y artefactos. También recomiendo encarecidamente que en uno de los tours que salen cada media hora. Fue muy entretenido y muy guay la historia tenía algunas.

È la terza volta che visitiamo questa meravigliosa capitale, e debbo dire che offre una infinità di luoghi da vedere e apprezzare. Direi in poche parole Wonderful

Surpris par le rapport qualité/prix pour un dîner traditionnel de Noël, même si ça faisait plus cantine que restaurant! Serveuses pressées que l'on dîne, mais repas honnête

가격을 고려할 때, 음식은 나름 괜찮았습니다. 하지만 의자가 조금 불편하였고 그것만 고쳐진다면 더 나은 레스토랑이 될 것이라 생각합니다. 위치도 찾기 쉬운 곳에 있습니다.

La torre está llena de historia y nuestra excursión en John, el beefeater era divertido y muy informativo. Las joyas de la corona son una maravilla, pero la culminación de antiguo, con el uso de joyas en coronas removidos para nuevos que vale la pena ver y puede ser visto en una de las torres a las paredes.

El costo es de alrededor de 28 libras para los adultos y para los niños 23 libras. Un poco caro, pero vale la pena, especialmente si te unes a la beefeater visitas guiadas. Se puede pasar fácilmente un día aquí y recomiendo encarecidamente ir y ver las joyas de la corona. Encontrará una cafetería muy agradable en la plaza principal con una buena selección de comida y bebida. También hay una buena selección de tiendas de souvenirs. Tómese su tiempo y disfrute de las diversas exposiciones que tienen para ofrecer.

Tower Bridge you are spoilt for choice on restaurants but my favourite three are:

Einfach fantastisch nan sollte sich nicht entgehen lassen den Tower zu besichtigen so viel gibt es zu sehen und man bekommt einen Eindruck wie sie damals gelebte haben einfach phantastisch

Vu que lors de notre premier séjour, nous avions eu une vue sur le petit port et lors de notre second séjour une chambre avec vue sur le Tower Bridge, nous avions envoyé un mail, via notre agence, à la direction de l'hôtel afin d'obtenir une chambre du même type. Aucune réponse nous a été transmise et lors de notre troisième séjour, nous avons reçu la chambre 334 ayant une vue latérale sur la Tamise mais principalement une vue sur d'autres chambres de l'hôtel. Bonjour les vis-à-vis. Obligé de fermer les tentures lorsque nous étions dans la chambre. Heureusement Londres est une belle ville et nous n'étions jamais à l'hôtel avant 23.00 heures (11PM).

The Tower is worth every penny but not very expensive... The tour was perfectly done and just a fun day (give yourself 3-4 hours here). I would highly recommend a visit to this historical site.

Pra quem gosta de história e voltar ao passado, vale muito vir aqui e imaginar todos os eventos bem em frente aos olhos, o portão dos traidores com entrada pela rio é fascinante.

Spent 5 hours here absolutely excellent , would return tomorrow so interesting , needed more time as missed some of the attractions . Fantastic value for money and well organised . Became involved in the siege which was great fun especially when rotten veg and chamber pot contents were thrown at intruders .

I needed a cup of hot chocolate during that rainy cold weatherit was a nice choiceyou can find sandwiches, salads, soups and dessertI loved the atmosphere ad the View from the windows overlooking the bridgebut I didn't like the scoones that much and it is a bit Over priced

Houses the Crown Jewels.... a bit expensive to get in... but worth it.... located near the River Thames... you can go on a boat trip down to Westminster....and stroll along to the other side of the Thames to ride the Big Wheel...

Four of us popped in for coffee and tea and had a lovely relaxing time with pleasant staff. It's a great location, right by the Tower of London, and just around the corner from the Smart School of Cookery where we'd had an afternoon tea demonstration.

Firstly I need to apologise because I'm not a fan of museums or history. It's great to be proven wrong. I visited with friends. We are British so think we have a little knowledge. If you do nothing else on this visit , do the Yeoman tour. It's included in the price.Utmost respect and the most informative funny and inspiring hour spent on an arranged tour. Hero's.Thank you.

This is a fantastic spot with so much history - the various buildings and walls make for an excellent escape from the streets of London. The Yeoman Warder tours kick off every 30 minutes and are entirely free! These are entirely free - just hang around the main entrance gate and wait for the next one. Seeing the crown jules is very cool but way too crowded - worth a pass but be patient.

Tower bridge is at the heart of the history of London and of England. There are lots of information boards around the Tower and if you wish to find out more there is a visitors exhibition centre. If you are limited to only a few sights of London, this should be one of them.

Went here last year for the poppies. All I can say is it was amazing. What an experience and very emotional. My 10 year old granddaughter now understands the reason of poppies and was proud to wear one.

Friendly staff accommodated my very late arrival. Good breakfast though the staff were too quick to clear my table while I was up at the breakfast bar.

History and spectacle. Great place to visit. Many points of interest over and above the crown jewels. Grab one of the tours given by the Yeoman Warders (Beefeaters). These guys will see you right. Funny and very informative. Would happily visit again.

I happened to visit this time on a solo trip and the experience was very moving. I could take my time, absorb the history more - listen to the beefeater tour guide more closely ( a tour is a must!), and take some quiet time in hidden corners. I was there when the poppy display was going on - very impacting. As I've said previously, a beefeater tour is a must. I have been an interpretive park ranger in The US for many years and these beef eaters are among the best "interpreters" I have heard, well worth it! Hit all the highlights you can - the crown jewels, the white tower, etc, but take time to take photos from less crowded corners also - you'll get some dandies.

The sea of poppies was breath taking. The visit to the tower made a perfect end to our visit. After dinner we returned to see the night laminations.

Incredible to see, get their early and join a tour. There is a lot to see inside and it takes a good half a day to go around everything. The crown jewels display is fab but queues can gather quickly so again get in their early and spend all the time you like wondering back and forth past those huge incredible stones!

Excellent place if your a history buff. Its got plenty too see and learn for all ages. Its worth taking in The Crown Jewels Tour but get there early as its a long wait otherwise.

Fantasic spectical! Hard to describe how it makes you feel, but in all its glory it was very special and moving. Sham it isnt going to be left longer.

Cafeteria style with many choices of hot dishes, sandwiches, salads, soups and desserts. Very clean and food looked and tasted fresh. We had no trouble finding seats.

Be sure and take advantage of the free Beefeater Tour. The "guides" are interesting and keep the tour moving. Don't worry if you are not right up front, they are very loud and stand atop chairs, steps, etc. so you can see them. The first thing you should do after arriving early is make your way directly to the Crown Jewels display. If you wait and go after the Beefeater Tour, there will likely be a big line.

Quite extraordinary to think that some of the original parts are so old. Crown Jewels always seem to have long queues. The recent display of ceramic poppies was very moving. There are private tours when the beefeaters do their final rounds (sorry I've forgotten the actual term that is used for this). We got to have a beer in the beefeaters bar (but it was a special tour so not something you should expect to experience).

Ok, first tip for this venue, make sure you walk around the entire perimeter of this Castle before entering through the paygate as you need to appreciate the sheer scale and important position it occupies in relation to the River Thames.It's relationship with the Thames is intertwined and you will understand more how 'Traitors Gate' served the castle as the entranceway for river traffic. This is important as you can miss this aspect if you do not take a walk all around outside first.Once inside, there are a number of key points to visit and you will need at least 3-4 hours to fully appreciate everything.The New Armouries Cafe is a great to place to grab a light bite (or main meal if you prefer) where it is warm and cosy. The food there has a good variety and is priced as one would expect for a London central visitor attraction. Tip - when walking the ramparts do not hurry through the various towers but look closely for examples of amazing carved graffitti from medieval and later times. It is very easy to miss! In fact study the walls throughout carefully, the castle is alive with such hidden historic gems.The main exhibition in the White Tower is impressive but often busy so be patient, take your time and let the history soak in to you.Numerous costumed characters roam to engage with..take time to do this to enhance your learning experience!There is a well stocked souvenir shop for items for visitors to take home and i was impressed with the good range of prices in there for the smaller right up to the larger pocket to spend on.

So interesting, it will take around three hours to see everything properly, dont miss going into all the cells/towers to see the ancient graffiti on the walls. Amazing,first class.

Everyone makes a beeline for the Crown Jewels and there's little you can do to avoid the crush in the Jewel House, but try to avoid going in when there is a school party! The White Tower is steeped in history and there's an excellent display of horses and amoury in there. Traitors Gate and the Bloody Tower are also most-do's. There's a really nice tea room near the Jewel House - recommended. Overall, not bad value for the money, especially if you pre-book.

Dommage qu'une fois que vous êtes dans la citadelle, ma modernité alentour vous envahisse et vous rappelle désormais que nos sommes bien en 2015! Mais la visite est enrichissante, les joyaux de la couronne intéressants d'un point de vue historique et artistique.

... o al menos, lo parece! Lugar imponente, con grandes vigas de madera y techos altos. Café y comida agradables, en un ambiente entretenido y cosmopolita. Para finalizar la visita a la Tower!

Es realmente un emblema de Londres, Por su Historia y la riqueza en Joyas que muestran en el segundo patio. Di mi opinion anteriormente. No dejen de visitarla.

Me gustó el poder ver los entresijos de la torre, lo que no me gustó es lo que pasa en todos los monumentos de Londres, en ningún caso te explican nada en otro idioma que no sea el suyo.

Brilliant day the history of the Tower the Yeoman Guards are soooo funny,entertaining all the way throughout the tour Lovely sunny day

Historic komplex where you can spend the whole day. The most attractive is the Treasury with the presentation of all the Crown Jewels. We were impressed by the exhibition commemorating victims of WWI.

Выставка королевских атрибутов. Военный музей. И сувенирные магазины. Если понимаете английский - интересная экскурсия с местным военным.

Pas de quoi payer aussi cher, les bijoux sont beaux mais sans plus, beaucoup plus sympa de l'extérieur.

So much has been said about one of the greatest British landmarks. But give yourself at least 4 hours to really visit the best living museum in London

Even if you don't enter it, you must walk around it:)It's imposing on the outside, and feels like a fairy-tale tower.You must see the Beefeaters, Traitor's Gate and the view of Tower Bridge - it shines with its full glory over the Thames in the very near distance. You must also read the historic signs on the way,one of them was saying that the place used to be popular beach for Londoners some years ago...

The poppies were a real treat and were a moving tribute to fallen service men. The Tower was an experience not to be missed. Prepare to give it a lot of time as you meander around and appreciate the buildings and history.

Probably one of the best views in the world. Sit outside and have a snack or a meal and drinks. Nice staff and good service. Watch the boats go past and see Tower Bridge in all it's glory.

Overall very pleased - helpful and friendly staff. However, hotel extremely unprepared for the influx of visitors to the poppy site and the queues for breakfast were horrendous. Must say also thought the menu was a tad expensive. That said, overall very good would definitely go back.

Das muss man gesehen haben, wenn man London besucht! Keine Negativen Punkte hier, selbst das Wetter hat mitgespielt.

I visited the Tower years ago as a child, I only recall standing in line to look at a load of sparkly jewels somewhere above nose height! and a wooden chopping block in the vicinity of Anne Boleyns demise. Sadly all of the poppies had gone but we were constrained to this weekend or the following so there you go. We thoroughly enjoyed the hour long talk by one of the Yeomen Warders (NOT COSTUME GUARDS:-)). This is worth doing as you get a good bit of history and if you are lucky enough to get the guy we had, or Dickie or the famous chap on youtube (Callahan) then you will be highly entertained too. We didn't really spend enough time there as we had booked Tower Bridge too and wanted to get there while the light was good so we didn't see all of it really. The chicken mesh beasties were really good. The gift shops are pricey but that you can expect, hey you're on hols so why not? The crown jewels are pretty and the armoury was impressive, you may wish to hide the kids eyes while passing Henry VIII's suit if you can't be bothered with awkward questions, uncontrollable fits of giggles or feelings of inadequacy for the gents though :-)

Más allá de la trascendencia historica del lugar, fue una gran sorpresa la cantidad de detalles que si bien no desvían del objeto de la visita la hacen estéticamente mucho mas grata. El tendido de cientos de miles de amapolas rojo sangre de cerámica sobre el foso seco en homenaje a los caídos en la Primera Guerra Mundial, forman una catarata que brota de las ventanas y que contrasta con el parque y el paisaje, es sorprendente como la concepción de un artista puede evocar con tanta belleza tal derramamiento de sangre . La antigua celda del elefante con las reglas respectivas y por supuesto lo que uno va a ver puntualmente. Los Beefeaters super amables, orgullosos de la distinción que significa cumplir esa fnción. Los clásicos curvos que aseguran la permanencia de la corona. Toda la visita fue bastante ágil hasta que nos tocó hacer una fila de una hora para ver las joyas de la corona (de todos modos ya las vistas en Martin Tower me habían dejado muda) Para reponer fuerzas lo mejor fue ir a almorzar a perkins reveller un restaurant que está a la salida de la torre y que queda precisamente entre ésta y el puente de Londres, que más???

Amazing history! Really enjoyed the tour and the animated tour guides who really knew the tower and its secrets!

long queue to check in! took three quarters of an hour to check in! hotel staff did try to put it right by bringing drinks around!

Queues,Queues and more Queues sub tickets/passes required.Catering facilities overloaded.Not the staffs fault just the organisation

Para todo amante de la historia inglesa, es una visita obligada. El tour que dirigen los beefeaters es muy entretenido - y dependiendo del guía la información puede variar en cuanto a diversion. Mucho para recorrer, las joyas de la corona son solo una parte de la atracción.

Indrukwekkend 880.462 keramieke klaprozen; 1 voor elke overleden soldaat in de eerste wereldoorlog. Zag er erg imposant uit en trok dan ook duizenden bezoekers per dag

Pour les joyaux de la couronne, allez-y à l'ouverture le matin, après, je pense que c'est l'enfer sur terre et que l'attente ne vaut plus le coup. Privilégiez le tour complet sur les remparts en passant de tour en tour. Prévoyez minimum 2 heures à bon train pour faire un tour d'ensemble sans traînailler.Enfin, pensez à réserver sur intenet et vous présenter avec vos bons imprimés à l'accueil "groupes" pour gagner du temps

This was the third visit to The Tower as we love the location, it's exceptionally clean, the staff are helpful and friendly and the breakfast is superb.We treated ourselves to a room with a view of Tower Bridge this time as our two previous visits had overlooked St Katherine's Docks, and it was a view to die for. Absolutely stunning, with The Shard just behind it.We got quite a good deal on the price with breakfast included and we highly recommend the hotel. We will be staying again I'm sure!

The site is much bigger than you think when inside and contains an overwhelming amount of history. Well kept with good guides / guided tours and plenty of information on display. Restaurant / cafe is good and in a wonderful old building.
