East London Oasis
A place of calm in the bustle of the East End. Nothing fancy but sensibly priced and close to DLR. Breakfast good, bed comfortable and shower great.

This was a wonderful find. The Royal Foundation of St. Katharine is a very special place with a fascinating long history. Built round a garden courtyard, it is used as a retreat centre, but also offers very comfortable accommodation to all visitors. The staff were extremely kind and welcoming, and the whole place has a lovely atmosphere. By London standards, it is also very good value. The immediate neighbourhood has some tatty areas, but is conveniently close to Limehouse Station and to pleasant walks by the Thames. The breakfasts were wonderful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and hope to return.

An Oasis
A very peaceful place to stay in the heart of the busy East End. Very comfortable bed, room overlooking a large courtyard garden with mature trees. Excellent hot and cold buffet breakfast, no bar but alcohol available at reception or room service. I'd stay again.

It really is an Oasis in the East End. I think the RFSK should explain the parking at the RFSK better, it cost £36 to park for just over 24 hours, a bit of a shock. I would like to thank the staff for arranging a takeaway breakfast for 6:30 in the morning, absolute life saver as doing Ride London. My wife said her breakfast was great.

A wonderful hideaway from the city
Lovely staff ready to help with any questions. It really does offer a space to breath in such a busy city. Yurt cafe is reasonable and the pizza amazing not withstanding the discount for being a customer of the hotel.

Far away from Heathrow and not tourist friendly
No AC. Had to keep the windows open to sleep. Front desk is rarely available as they are busy with several community meetings. Rooms are good but ill maintained. Breakfast is decent. Can not provide much info about the London areas. Unable to call a taxi in the morning except a company is there that accepts cash only!!! Far away from the Heathrow airport. Taxi may cost £150+.

Great oasis of peace with convenient links from Limehouse DLR into central London. A lovely place to go for a retreat, prayer or coffee/lunch at the Yurt Cafe. Unfortunately, they have started to apply daily charges (£15) for car parking, which is disappointing and the parking app over-charged for 1.5 days (reception manually resolved issue). I will be back!

Great place for a quiet night in East London. Very convenient for Tower Gateway and lines into the city from there. Don’t choose if you want a full hotel with a bar and spa.
