I didn’t park, but it was a good car park, the St Katherine is in a good spot, nice walk down the Thames, Gordon Ramsey, an nice Italian and Indian restaurant a 10min walk through the park. Excellent location for Limehouse DLR. if you want clean and comfy bed, this is great, room is basic but clean, great shower and WC facilities. Breakfast was really nice and plentiful. Staff I met were friendly and helpful

A special, tranquil place in the heart of London

A very special place in the heart of London, which offers retreats, as well as accommodation for general tourists. It is well-decorated, clean, comfortable and so tranquil, it was hard to believe we were in such a busy area. The courtyard garden was lovely, the staff were so welcoming, the breakfast was good, and having a car park on site was a bonus, and unusual for central London. Do not be put off by the rather drab approach to the carpark, inside all is fine and secure. Limehouse station is only a couple of minutes' walk away, very handy for getting around London, but you don't hear it. We will definitely return.

Interesting historical place to stay, and very good value for money for London! The bed was comfortable and I slept very well, also thanks to the quiet atmosphere. The free breakfast was tasty, with different options available. The DLR station was nearby, with national trains as well. Would stay here again!

Great Stay

Stayed as we were attending a show at the Troxy, a 4 minute walk away. Conveniently close to Limehouse station. The room was great with an extremely comfortable bed. No noise at night is a bonus. Breakfast was buffet style with plenty to choose from. The staff were excellent and happy to give directions. Even raising an eye when we informed them the street signposts are spelt wrong (they have Cath(E)rine). Would highly recommend.

Mold mold and more mold!

Mold everywhere! Made me sick! Ruining rest of my trip because it made me sick. Would have gone to another hotel it was so bad but due to Christmas it was impossible last minute. I felt so gross even after showers. Got to next destination and had an hour long HOT shower. I complained about the mold and they said they would clean it AFTER we left!

Booked a 1 night stay at this hotel but my appointment in London was poatponed to the following day. The hotel didnt have any available rooms for the following day and despite being contacted directly by an Expedia representative would not even consider a refund for the room. I wont be booking this place next time I am in London.

Except for one receptionist most were indifferent and did not say hello or engage. We were not given breakfast times or check out information on arrival. The first room we had was very noisy. Although double glazed the windows have vents which let in a lot of road noise, Rotherhithe tunnel traffic. On speaking to reception and explaining the situation regarding noise we were told, well you did book a standard room, like it was our fault! We paid an extra £40 to upgrade to a garden room which was much better. Breakfast was great, lots of choice and fresh produce. Communal areas were lovely to sit in and relax in. The DLR is very convenient for getting about and The Grapes pub is very close and well worth a visit.
