Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Tower Residences By Blue Orchid is appreciated for its brilliant central location, very close to Tower Hill Station and directly opposite the Tower of London. Guests consistently highlight the spaciousness of the rooms, with many featuring a separate kitchen and living area. While some guests have occasionally noted the noise from underground trains, the well-equipped apartments and proximity to attractions like Tower Bridge and restaurants, such as the Byward (located across from the beautiful church), contribute to a pleasant stay.

dirty windowstemperature problem

The room I got was hot. There was no way to adjust the temperature. Cleanliness was a problem. I found hairs on the toilet paper, under the duvet, and a lot of dust behind the bed, likely from drilling. The windows were also dirty. They ruined what could have been a nice view, the breakfast was just a pre-packed box. It was not worth the money I paid for it!

generally pleasant stay

friendly staffconvenient locationentrance stepsinconvenient taxi

the staff were friendly and accommodating to requests. the location provided convenient access to nearby attractions. i found the proximity to the tube station quite useful. leaving my suitcase for the day was beneficial.

i was unaware of steps leading to the main entrance. taxis had to drop guests off around the corner. this made negotiating with suitcases difficult.

The room was spacious and immaculate. Free bottled water was a nice touch.

The underground trains caused constant shaking. It was impossible to sleep well. The noise persisted all day and only stopped briefly between midnight and 4 AM. I woke up drained.
