Marlin Aldgate Tower Bridge

I booked the apartment to work in during the day, building work was extremely loud all day and there was no internet which we weren’t informed about until the morning. Bins in the bathroom hadn’t been emptied, there were hairs in the bath. Sofas were sofa beds that didn’t fold way properly, scaffolding all around the windows. Overall very disappointing.

1st stay and was really impressed. I’ll definitely return. The only complaint is the noise as there’s lot of construction.

Best not to stay here, the place is getting renovated its extremely noisy, we had to move rooms twice it makes no difference where your room is. Its not good that your charged full price for the room.

I was not made aware of the works being carried out on the building and therefore was disturbed early in the morning. This resulted in being extremely tired for the day ahead.

Overall a good property. However, I was not made aware of the mass building work going on outside of the property erecting scaffolding and removing cladding. The drilling and banging was dreadful. Also, the pillow cases were not clean and were covered in yellow marks. The sofa bed in the living room was so uncomfortable when used as a sofa and needs replacing

Curtains didn’t close in the living room, shower pressure was a bit slow. Great location though

Brilliant as always. Shame about all the scaffolding.

Beautiful rooms .. immaculately clean and friendly staff

What i liked: - Good location with multiple transport options (tube and buses available at walking distance) - Lots of restaurants, grocery stores and shops in the close vicinity. -Employees at the property are professional and courteous What I did not like : - Property seems to be undergoing renovations, so the lower floors are extremely noisy during the week days. Hotel did not mention anything about this upon check-in or on their website. Self-serving omission? - Check out is super early (10.30am!) with no possibility to store luggage (this is indicated when you book but not in line with standards in this day and age) - Cleaning was rather basic.

Lovely a d unexpected upgrade to penthouse appartement. Good welcome at reception. Felt safe and secure. Shame there was nowhere to store luggage on departure day.

Good price but needs more work

Excellent

We were not advised of the ongoing construction in the building. Drilling sound was extremely noisy, I am not happy with this experience.

Gli appartamenti sono ben arredati, funzionali e dotati di ogni confort, piacevoli da vivere tanto che ci si sente a casa propria. Il quartiere è forse un po’ rumoroso ma si ha il vantaggio di avere la metro e negozietti per fare la spesa a pochissima distanza. Consigliatissimo

Place was great, location was perfect, staff was very attentive. We were on the top floor. Lots of space.

Comfortable, clean, spacious family apartment. Quiet and convenient for Aldgate East tube. Only complaints are that there were no luggage storage facilities - but this wasn’t clear until we had already booked a non-refundable rate - and the rooms were too hot, even though the outdoor temperature was a maximum of 25.

If you are planning to travel to London from the US, do NOT stay at Marlin Aldgate Tower Bridge for one reason- they have a policy against holding luggage for early arrival. International flights from the US usually arrive in the early am. So we got there around 9 am. The lady there would not let us leave our luggage at the hotel. She told us the tube station two blocks away could store them. Marlin Aldgate’s policy. We had to carry 12 bags (8 suitcases and smaller bags) to the station, which then told us there was no such thing. We finally found a liquor store nearby that would keep them for roughly $80. I had to leave all my belongings on the day we landed… at a liquor store. Oh, and they also told me if the room was ready early, we could get in for $50. I never expect to get in early… but why if it’s ready? If the room happens to be ready, what is the big deal? We did store all our earthly belongings at the liquor store until around 2:30 in the afternoon. At that point, she did let us get to our room 30 minutes early and graciously waved the charge. We stayed there nine nights. The place was fine besides that. Kitchen, living room, washer and dryer. Clean. Well kept. Good access to public transportation. HOWEVER… don’t stay there if you are coming from the States. I had someone tell me I should’ve asked before booking. I didn’t even know that would be an issue to ask about. But regardless… even if you check and know, why would you want to be in that position?

Wonderful 2-bedroom 2 bathroom apartment. All the helpful amenities worked, and we were so happy with our stay!

The staff were very friendly. The room was clean and we'll equipment for our stay. The property does not have AC so be cautious during the hot months. I was unaware the property is under major exterior renovation. Be aware Monday through Friday 9-5 the hotel is currently an active construction site. There are no amenities at the apartment building. Close to the tube very convenient. Felt very safe and enjoyed our stay inbLondon.
