"Grange City Hotel
Stayed here for 2 nights in June 2008 - Thought I had a bargain - double room for £169 inc. Vat for a 5* hotel. Dont be fooled though, its 3* max really. If you dont mind being situated directly over a railway line then you are ok. I was and complained and was moved 4 floors up to a more quiet room. The rooms are decorated very nicely and have a quality feel about them. The bathrooms are ace too! Bath big enough for 2 easy! Breakfast is a "take it or leave it" situation too. Continental (albeit £17+) is simply cereal and boiled eggs and pastries. Not worth the amount!
The other note would be the mini bar - avoid it! £2.75 a can of coke!
The bed however is awesome - huge and soft, what more could you ask for? My other quarm is that the staff can be very busy and not get back to you for a time. Keep chasing them if you need anything. The room service is fast and worth using if you have the cahs and need.
Location wise its right next to tower bridge and the tower of london. A short walk to the tube and major sights to see, the Gherkin for example. Use it if you are in need to locality to major sites to see. Not in my opinion a 5* but a decent hotel in general."
