citizenM Hotel Tower of London
The citizenM Tower of London is a marvel of modern construction, standing out as one of the UK’s largest modular buildings. Designed by Concrete Architectural Associates and built on a steel podium directly above the Tower Hill Underground station, the hotel was completed in record time using prefabricated room modules. This innovative approach allowed the hotel to sit harmoniously within its historic surroundings, including the nearby Roman city wall and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Tower of London.
Stepping inside, the hotel feels like a creative playground. The ground floor is a sprawling, open-plan “living room” filled with cozy nooks, oversized bookshelves, and quirky art. Every detail, from the iPad-controlled mood lighting and temperature in the rooms to the rotating art collections, is tailored for the modern, tech-savvy traveler. It’s a space that prioritizes comfort and efficiency over traditional, stuffy hotel formalities.
A major highlight is the cloudM rooftop bar. It offers some of the most spectacular, unobstructed views of the city, including iconic sights like the Tower of London and the Tower Bridge. Whether you’re relaxing with a drink while watching the sunset or catching up on work, the atmosphere is consistently bright and energetic.
Its prime location makes it an ideal base for exploring London’s deep history. You are just steps away from the Tower of London, and a short walk leads you to other heavy-hitting attractions like the Sky Garden, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and the historic HMS Belfast. It’s the perfect spot for anyone looking to blend heritage with cutting-edge, contemporary design.
Expert reviews
“Downstairs it looks like a rich hipster’s living room, with well-stocked bookshelves, kooky art, Beefeater knick-knacks and lots of work space. Rooms are compact but well-designed.”

Great hotel which we book everytime we stay in London.
Great location, the view over the Tower of London and London Bridge is great and the room is very comfortable.
No kettle, so you have to go to the restaurant/bar to get a morning drink which is the only downside.

Short and sweet.
The room was so lovely and the breakfast was very much to my liking.
There was nothing I did not like.

Fabulous hotel , location and staff. 100% will stay here again
Location, staff and quality of room
The rooftop bar was closed on the Sunday night , not a big deal but would have liked to know this when we checking on the Saturday as I wanted to get a photo of the Tower lit up at night. I would have gone up there on the Saturday night.

Great location and new feel
Great location, new rooms, good luggage storing with tags, staff gave a hint window to outside rather than interior could be nicer and it was, fridge in the room.
No kettle in room which was explained due to materials in room, tea can be bought from bar, the tablet style tv control had trouble working at times,

Modern, comfortable and clean and in a perfect area
staff were friendly and helpful, being patient with me while I worked out the booking in on an iPad. The room was perfectly sized, and I liked being able to control the TV, blinds etc from the iPad in the room. Breakfast was lovely, and I loved that the kitchen and bar stayed open until late. The pizza was delicious.
I wished there had been drinking water or tea or coffee making facilities in the room - I stayed while it was very hot and had to go down to buy a drink in the bar if I was thirsty throughout the evening. The extra costs soon added up.

My stay was really good I’ve recommended this hotel to friends in case they travel to london .
I liked my room actually
I’m not a breakfast person so I didn’t go down for one.
The location is just beautiful and accessible to my planning.
Not sure if I didn’t like anything or anyone .

amazing stay at Citizen M Tower of London
we've stayed in many hotels and airbnb but citizen m tower of london has the best staff. every staff that we came across was super helpful, kind and attentive. the location is great for someone whose visiting London for the first time since the tube is right downstairs. housekeeping service was great, hotel lobby has a kitchen and we had ice cream there every night (lol). rooftop is an amazing plus! the view is so beautiful, we went up there every single night. would love to stay here again.

Didn't disappoint again

sink in the room to close to the wet room door.

A very comfortable stay in a thoughtfully designed hotel
The location, the downstairs welcome, the smart, comfortable room and the quality of the breakfast.
Very little….slight niggle that the Aircon didn’t cool the room sufficiently and the TV was slow to respond to channel changes, occasionally failing. But these are minor points with what is a brilliant product overall

A good hotel in a good area
The hotel is very well located, right above the Tower Hill metro station, which makes getting around the city extremely easy. It is situated in the heart of the Tower of London area, with quick access to major tourist attractions and public transport. The neighborhood feels safe and pleasant for tourists, and it is surprisingly quiet in the mornings.
The hotel itself is clean and welcoming, with a lovely lobby and tasteful furniture. The staff was very helpful whenever assistance was needed. The room was clean and featured a large, comfortable bed, although the space itself was rather small, which made it a bit less comfortable overall.
The room is quite small, and opening two checked suitcases can be a bit challenging, although it is manageable.
The bathroom has a capsule-style design, made of plastic and glass and integrated into the room. Despite its compact layout, it is functional.

Good option for a city trip
Excellent location, right next to an underground station which is a huge advantage. Room is standard for CitizenM hotels - big bed, not much space further.
Expensive breakfast - you can get better and cheaper options outside the hotel. Automatic check-in works funny - we booked 2 rooms in one booking, 1 room was on 8th floor and 2nd one on 3rd floor (luckily corrected manually by staff).

One of London's best value stays with a killer location
The breakfast is excellent and a good value. We really liked the top-notch barista coffee experience (included w/breakfast). The lobby is comfortable and lively. The staff are all pleasant, helpful, and yet unobtrusive.
No fitness center at this location. I knew that when I booked. Just seems out of alignment with a modern-style property such as CitizenM.

Great weekend stay in London comfy but small room with a beautiful view! Loved the breakfast.
Great location nearby Tower Bridge. Worth upgrading for a nicer view
Slow or not working airco which is important if you can’t open windows or ventilate
