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.”

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.

Great Experience
The rooms were clean and had new technology. The lighting system was very cool and unique. We had a great view of the Tower bridge as well. The staff were very friendly and allowed us to keep our bags in the lobby for the day before our check in. The hotel.is located right above an underground station which was very convenient. Overall a great experience!

Didn't disappoint again
location is spot on to get to the underground.
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.

The location is top. You have Tower Hill metro station just next to the hotel entrance. Then you have Tower Bridge and The Tower of London in walking distance. There is also nice bar at the top floor with pretty nice views. Room was clean and most importantly for me quiet.

Great Hotel, Great Location, Great Staff
Loved this hotel. The rooms were a little smaller than they appeared in the photos, but they were fine. Bed was very comfortable. The location was fabulous. We enjoyed the lobby restaurant and bar and the 7th floor lounge. Well designed. We'll be back.
It's not that we didn't like it, but the opaque showers ae not for everyone. Unless you are traveling as a couple it could be awkward. But this seems to be a trend now.

Always my best sleeps & happy check out
I had a wonderful stay and would happily come back again. The staff were absolutely lovely — always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful, which really made a difference throughout my visit. The food was also a highlight. I especially enjoyed the breakfast — great quality and a really nice way to start the day. One evening, I stayed in and had a pizza along with a cocktail (I think it was called something like “Duffy” or “Derby”) — whatever the name, it was delicious and beautifully made. As always with CitizenM, the bed was a standout. It’s honestly one of my favorites — incredibly comfortable — and I love that they provide two different pillows so you can choose what suits you best. Overall, I absolutely loved my stay. CitizenM never disappoints, and I always look forward to coming back.

A fab weekend!
The hotel is great and very well located. The public areas are fantastic, the bedroom is small but the bed and shower are exceptional. I didn't realise the size of the rooms but I wasn't in the room much so no problem for me!! The personnel were exceptional and a special shoput out for Duffy who went over and beyond!

Amazing stay
Great location, right by underground, hop on hop off bus stop very close, walking distance to Tower and Tower Bridge, small grocery shop close by, lots of café options around. We did not need receptionist as check in and out was very easy but they offered help and were lovely. Room.was very clean. We would definitely come back. My daughter loved the light color changes in the shower, it was a great hit 😊 thank u!

I enjoyed my stay but I would like the option of a flatter pillow in the room!
The location is great and the hotel has a vibrant energy to it. Staff very helpful and friendly
The pillows were overstuffed for my liking. I prefer a flatter pillow. I found it hard to get comfortably to sleep.
