Hotels near The Gherkin

"I’ve stayed at this hotel several times (at least 6 times) over the last 3 years, every time I’m in London. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed over the last year the decline in quality. The location is great, next to Aldgate station and just minutes away from Liverpool station. It’s also a short walk down to the river or over to Spitalfields Market. In the rooms, the bed is extremely comfortable and there’s a lot of room for all of your things. They also have some nice amenities for your convenience and a small fridge, perfect for keeping drinks cold. During this last stay, 2 of the 3 elevators were down for a portion of my stay. Also, my shower was lacking water pressure (I think the unit needs to be properly cleaned due to calcium build-up) and it didn’t heat properly. Also, I noticed on my last two stays that there’s an odd smell that resonates from the shower drain that’s quote off-putting. The choices and quality of room service has also gone down. During a stay in October, they completely forgot about my order and it took several calls down to the front desk and the restaurant to get resolved, which was really disappointing. I really want to love this hotel like I used to, but I may have to look into staying elsewhere in the future."

"Excellent "

"Great location, I just wish they had a mini fridge."

"Room was clean, comfortable. Was a nice location for getting around to different areas. Its proximity to the the other Leonardo Tower location did cause some confusion. "

"Lovely room and friendly staff"

"Room was very clean and staff was extremely helpful and kind. "

"Friendly and helpful staff. Location quiet and close to Tube n Tower of London. Easy to walk to things. It’s an apartment type room which was nice. The pillows were too flat for us but everything else was great "

"I wasn't impressed with their bathroom facilities but their staff was excellent and the hotel has two perfect places to have dinner. Parking here is very expensive. The location is very convenient. "

"Our stay at Sea Containers London was absolutely outstanding and truly made our first trip to London unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the experience felt special. The hotel has a unique, sleek design that gives it a modern luxury feel while still being warm and welcoming. We stayed in connecting rooms with both city and river views, which was perfect for our family. The rooms were spotless, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. Waking up to views of the Thames each morning was a highlight of our trip. My entire family loved the setup, it gave us both space and convenience. The staff were exceptional, friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with anything we needed. Their hospitality added another layer to an already great experience. One of the biggest advantages of this hotel is its location along Queen’s Walk. It was ideal for exploring the city, especially on a first visit. We were able to walk to so many major attractions, including Tower Bridge, Covent Garden, London Eye, and Big Ben. Having easy access to nearby transit made getting around even more convenient. I honestly can’t imagine a better place to stay for your first visit to London, especially traveling from the U.S. Sea Containers London checked every box for comfort, location, and overall experience. We would absolutely stay here again. "
