Welcome to my blog on my recent stay at the CitizenM Tower of London! The hotel is in a great location and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Here are my top tips for staying at the CitizenM Tower of London Hotel.

It is located in the heart of the city. Getting to and fro is easy via the Tube. The hotels sits on top of the Tower Hill Underground station served by the District and Circle lines with step free access to street level. In addition, this hotel is perfect for both business and leisure travelers visiting London. CitizenM Tower of London Hotel offers excellent value for money, with affordable rates considering its prime location. CitizenM Tower of London Hotel is committed to sustainability and minimizing its environmental impact.

Upon arrival, you will be greeted by friendly staff who will make you feel right at home. The self-check-in and check-out kiosks make the process quick and hassle-free. If you arrive early, you can check your luggage at the hotel and explore until your room becomes available. Furthermore, make sure to take advantage of the free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel to stay connected during your stay. The hotel staff is available 24/7 to assist you with any inquiries or requests you may have. Stay connected with the hotel’s mobile app, allowing you to control various aspects of your stay.

Start your day off right with a delicious breakfast at the hotel’s canteen, offering a wide range of options. Guests can enjoy 24-hour access to the hotel’s self-service bar and grab-and-go food options. Relax in the evening at the hotel’s rooftop bar which is a must-visit, offering stunning views of the Tower of London and the city skyline. It opens at 3pm. The bar serves a variety of drinks, including signature cocktails, and creates a vibrant atmosphere. The hotel is 8 floors high. The Roof-top bar and an outdoor balcony is on the 7 and 8th floors. The views are remarkable. The bar area is upscale, trendy, and definitely photo worthy.

The hotel boasts modern and stylish interiors, with comfortable and cozy rooms for you to relax in. Each room is equipped with a smart tablet that allows you to control the room’s lighting, temperature, and entertainment. Additionally, the rooms are soundproof, ensuring a peaceful and restful night’s sleep during your stay. The hotel offers a range of amenities, including toiletries, hairdryers, and a rain shower in every room.

The hotel is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all guests. You must insert your room key to use the elevator. My room was delightful with wood flooring. The roomy shower energized my tired muscles after a day of sightseeing. The blinds and shades are remote controlled from the wall. I like the multi-settings to adjust the lighting. The underneath bed storage allows more space to spread out and keeps a tidy room. You can ask the hotel for water to bring back to your suite. Tumblers are in each room.

For fitness enthusiasts, the hotel uses a new app called gymbox. If you’re a history buff, take advantage of the hotel’s location and explore the nearby Tower of London. I found the best food at Josef Traditional Fish & Chips located in the Tower of London Welcome Centre. The hotel is conveniently located near public transportation, making it easy to explore other parts of the city.

For the hop on, hop off buses, the Tower of London stop is across the street from the hotel. I utilized the Hop-On Hop-Off Pass + Thames River Cruise (24 Hrs) from Top View Bus Tour. This can be misleading as the buses stop running around 5pm. The river cruise was great. I chose the Westminster dock to Tower of London dock cruise at sunset. This cruise goes underneath the bridge for exceptional views. The hotel is very close to the Thames too. You can walk Bankside to take in all the sights and shops. Experience the vibrant and bustling atmosphere of the city, just steps away from the hotel’s doorstep.

The hotel’s interior is designed with a contemporary and minimalist style, creating a welcoming atmosphere. This hotel has an unique concept focuses on providing a comfortable and efficient experience for all guests. The hotel’s lounges are perfect for meeting fellow travelers or catching up on work.

Be sure to make use of the hotel’s outdoor space. Read the walls and carpeting. The hotel utilizes all areas and shares wisdom. Your door number welcomes you home. Don’t forget to check out the hotel’s library, a quiet space where you can relax with a good book and a good view.

Immerse yourself in the local culture by exploring the nearby markets, restaurants, and attractions. Equally important, the hotel’s multilingual staff will ensure that communication is never a barrier during your stay. Relax and unwind in the hotel’s comfortable lounge areas after a long day of exploring. Guests can enjoy a selection of premium teas and coffees at the hotel’s barista station. For those traveling on business, the hotel offers flexible meeting and event spaces. These are located on the 8th floor. I hope you find the CitizenM Tower of London review helpful.
