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.

We had a great 4 night stay at The Royal Foundation of St. Katharine. The public facing spaces are lovely, comfortable and nice places to spend time. The sitting areas are welcoming, the courtyard is peaceful, and the breakfast was a great way to start the day. The Yurt Cafe was a great addition to our stay. Perfect place to grab a bite to eat after a busy day, sit outside, and end enjoy the outdoors. We encountered two of the priests during our stay and they were very friendly and welcoming. We would certainly recommend this property to others looking for a spot out of the normal busy scene with a relaxing atmosphere.
