Review by hotel critic
As an environmental scientist with a keen interest in responsible travel, my recent stay at the Tower Residences in London provided a compelling balance of luxury and value. The spacious apartment featured a separate living area and a well-equipped kitchen, ideal for extended stays. Highlights included a washing machine and dryer, essential for maintaining cleanliness during my travels, as well as ample cookware and kitchen utensils. The presence of an electric kettle and coffee machine made for comforting mornings, complimented by the thoughtful inclusion of milk and water in the fridge. Staff were attentive and professional, providing seamless service, whether arranging an airport shuttle or ensuring housekeeping met our needs every three days. While breakfast was not included, the minimalist yet functional kitchen allowed for self-catering. The Tower Residences represent smart financial wisdom without sacrificing comfort or convenience, making it a commendable choice for those aiming to experience the allure of London responsibly.
