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!

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

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.
