Marlin Tower Bridge - Aldgate  

The reception area was staffed by just one person and as the organisation was so chaotic he was constantly away from the desk sorting out problems. I paid extra per night for an extra single bed in the second bedroom, but this was impossible because 3 single beds would never have fitted into the second bedroom. However, no one at booking.com or the Marlin Appartment told me this so I didn't know until my arrival. To add insult to injury, the room we were booked into wasn't ready. Then the room we were put into only had a double bed in the guest room (for three children) and when it was seperated into twin beds I had to carry the bedding and extra towels needed for the room from reception to the room and make up the beds myself. Then we were phoned by the receptionist in the morning and they asked us to move rooms! I thought I had booked into a four star luxury appartment so I was distinctly unimpressed. Before the holiday I had called booking.com to ensure that the room would have three single beds in the guest room and I was assured that it would have. It seems booking.com has no knowledge of this appartment building at all or it would have known it was impossible. The guest room is just too small. I was extremely fed up with three tired children waiting for 1.5 hours for the situation to be sorted out.

The internet is very slow and bad service, room services is also very bad cleaning once a week, although price is very high you have to do all the cleaning with your self.

My partner and I were in London from Spain primarily for a friends wedding. We chose the apartments due to the superb location to Shoreditch and Tower Hill where the church and reception where located. The apartment was comfortable, spacious and the kitchen facilities were great for our breakfast on the 3 mornings thanks to the local Tesco. The rate offered was far cheaper than any hotel during that weekend period. We definitely stay again if we could secure a similar rate.

Comfortable one bedroom apartment. Ok location near tube (two blocks)

Didn't look pictures presented in photos.

Nice apartments, well fitted out

They do not clean the rooms every day, you would think that they would do basis cleaning of toilets and the kitchen. To me this makes the place unhygienic and forces you to clean up yourself, if you are busy this is a pain. No supermarket close by to get food etc. Poor TV sat coverage, no sports etc.

Extremely nice appartment with a beautyfull view of London South

2 very large construction sites a nabours. This creats alot of noise and dust.

Comfortable and well equipped - a proper home from home. Much better than I was expecting - and I was expecting a pretty good standard! Highly recommended for business travellers who are fed up with hotels. If however you are looking for daily maid service and clean towels every day, then stay in a hotel!

The bed was slightly too firm for me, but that is just a personal thing and will not stop me staying there again.

Great location for our purpose. Nice new rooms with most of what we needed.

The neighbourhood is not the most inviting

Wi-Fi had problem with Android os.

Marlin Tower is well equiped in the kitchen, convenient for London Underground, rooms were clean and warm. Rooms were sound proof and a good size.

Kitchen utensils were not very clean having been washed in the dishwasher and not by hand. Frying pan needs to be replaced Removal of refuse from room ,down to guest

The room was exceptional - when we had an issue with the TV it was sorted out straight away. Best apartment we have stayed in in London so far

The check out time is too early - 1030am is not long enough a time to check out and the rates to check out late is too expensive

Location etc as above

Dirty pans left in dishwasher However staff were helpful and got some more
