This hotel has a range of good restaurants and bars (the breakfast is particually good),. There is a comprehensive fitness centre with good gym and a gift shop (i would buy in town as they've hiked the prices up in the hotel). Parking is available at £14 per day.
The hotel is very well placed for all of Londons facilities. The Nearest underground is Tower Hill (just up the road).

Book through an online company for best rates - superbreak are particually good. You can book with Theatre tickets for extra discount.
Advantages: Convenient location Disadvantages: Too expensive for the quality
...sent my friend to another Thistle hotel nearby. It was £156 and they told him it's the same rate as Tower Thistle.
I would not stay here if I have to pay for the room myself because it is too expensive and even though it says 4 star on the website, the quality is not really 4 star. ...

On choosing a hotel I tend to go for nice architecture and/or a historic building which has lots of interest, nooks and crannies to explore and rooms which you know you shouldn't go in but you do, however, after finding no available accommodation like this at short notice in London and needing to book quickly I opted for what seemed the next best option, the ThistleTower which overlooks Tower Bridge in London, (like you hadn't guessed)
Getting there from Kings Cross seemed like a hike but the tube takes you there after 2 changes at Bank and Monument to Tower Hill in around 10 minutes. (Circle or District lines will take you there).
Upon arriving from Tower Hill tube which is just a short walk from the hotel I was initially disappointed with the exterior which resembled a large municipal library built in the 1970's, overlooking such ...
