Maximum points for effort but sadly too many elements don’t pass muster. King Size bed was a Queen at best. Their booking system is slow and creates chaos at check in. Expect check in to take 30 minutes unless they sort it. Staff are all very friendly though

What a gem this hotel is! Its exceptionally clean, considering the amount of ecletic stuff is in there. Only stayed on night so didnt get to use the spa facilities but next time i will try to give that a go. Had afternoon tea which was lovely. My room was clean and the bed was so comfy i had a really good sleep. The shower could do with a reseal..thats my only down point. I would definitely stay here again.

This hotel is very cutie every room has a story and represent a famous author or philosopher. We stayed in a room for Jules Verne. However, if I am traveling alone I may not select this hotel the hallway lights on the second floor was always off some with motion sensors. So as a female traveling alone I would not feel safe. I understand energy conservation but some hallway light should always be on.

I loved that this hotel offered a unique stay! I wish all my vacations included this kind of hotel. The staff was pleasant and helpful whenever I had an issue. I had an issue with my air conditioning, which was resolved in a reasonable time frame. I fully admit I am type A when it comes to cleaning. I noticed some dust in unusual places, but I also realize I stayed in a room specifically for handicapped individuals, so maybe the room isn't cleaned as often?

Stayed at the hotel for 2 nights to go to a concert at the 02. Really enjoyed our stay, lovely to stay at an individual hotel instead of a faceless chain. We stayed in a twin room at the top of the hotel. Beds were comfy, rooms were clean, warm and bright. Breakfast was great and we couldn’t get over how all the beautiful plants and ornaments everywhere. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a lovely stay 😊

This is a very unique property, with each room individually decorated. Amenities in the room are basic, although they do provide small bathrobes and slippers and free bottled water. The Limehouse area is not pretty and there are very few restaurants around. You can walk to Canary Wharf in about 15 minutes where there are better amenities.

The unique and unusual decorations in the hotel lobby/bar area were nice, and there were convenient fast food places/shops nearby. Yet we didn't feel the room was safe as the sliding door to the bathroom was easily opened quickly, and the wall overlapped the door handle which caused my boyfriend to get his finger crushed in the door which ruined the trip. There was also a 12% service fee if you ate at the restaurant which seemed a little pricey - then again I'm not sure if that is normal for hotels.

This is a beautiful, eclectic, very unique hotel that was once a public library. They did an amazing job with the renovation; you would have to see it for yourself. It’s indescribable. The rooms were comfortable, breakfast buffet was delicious, and the staff very friendly and accommodating. If I ever come back to London, this will be my lodging location of choose!
