What a wonderful experience we had during our recent stay at your hotel in 1st week of Oct 2024.We arrived quite early but the warm welcome and professionalism of your staff made us comfortable. We especially enjoyed the the most conveniwnt location and could commute to any part of London very easily whether on foot or by tube.I would like to commend Roxana, Joy and Aroona for their exceptional service. Their attentiveness and friendliness truly made a difference in my experience.

The room was unbearably hot and needed two loud fans to make it cool enough to sleep. For some reason the lights just stopped working in my room and my door wouldn’t close but it was fixed promptly.

Arrived at the apartments earlier than check in time just to check that we could leave our suitcase and was greeted by a lovely lady who said our room was ready. We was very happy with the facilities, so close to Fenchurch Street station and The Tower of London. We left the apartment to venture for the day, unfortunately later when we returned there was a problem with the lights, but within minutes a member of staff was there to assist and as the fault couldn’t be resolved they quickly changed us to another room which was a bigger suite with a great view of the shard. The staff we encountered were very polite, friendly & helpful and on hand 24/7. The suite was clean, well stocked with toiletries, towels and the kitchenette had everything you could need, including milk, cereals, tea & coffee, & even a complimentary box of chocolates. Would definitely be happy to visit again. Brilliant location.

When I stayed at the Tower Residences by Blue Orchid I had a mixed experience. While the room itself was amazing—clean, spacious, and well-appointed—there were some significant drawbacks that impacted my stay.One major issue was the hot water situation. The hot water in the shower lasted only 5-10 minutes before turning freezing cold. This was extremely inconvenient, especially since I was left standing in the shower with soap and shampoo in my hair. When I reported this to the staff, they were apologetic and offered to move me into a spare room to shower. While this gesture was appreciated, it was quite inconvenient to have to switch rooms just to finish my shower.I learned that the hotel uses a tank on top of the building which only allows for a limited amount of hot water. Once it's used up, you're stuck with cold water for the rest of the day. This is something to keep in mind if you plan on staying here.Additionally, the noise from the underground trains was noticeable, which might be a concern for light sleepers.On a positive note, the location is excellent. The hotel is conveniently located near the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, making it easy to explore these iconic landmarks.Despite these issues, the room was fantastic. The amenities were modern and comfortable, and the view from my window was beautiful. If the hot water and noise issues could be resolved, this would be an excellent place to stay.Overall, while there were some inconveniences, the quality of the room itself was impressive. I hope the management addresses these concerns to enhance the guest experience.
