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.

This place is a great little place to stay. It is a 2 minute walk from the Limehouse tube station, making this PERFECT to get anywhere in London! The Yurt Cafe on-site has delicious food too (the English Breakfast and the Yurtarita Pizza were great). The staff is helpful. You can drop off your luggage in their coat-check closet if you get there earlier than check-in AND they let you check-in as soon as your room is ready (don't make you wait). There are some great little pubs and restaurants not far from here too. OVERALL: Great place to stay and I WILL stay here again!

We’ve used St Katherine’s before and found it very peaceful - especially the chapel, and this time was even better as we were more familiar with the place. It’s very convenient for the DLR and this time we spent a lot of our time around Greenwich which was just a few stops down the DLR. it’s only a couple of stops up to the connection with the underground as well for going West. Breakfast is superb, a wide selection, well presented and the staff are very friendly and helpful Rooms are clean and have larger beds, which restricts the usable space in the smaller rooms, but there is still enough room to be functional. Showers work well We ate at the Yurt cafe this time - they stay open late on Thursday, Friday and Saturdays and the pizza was first class. Sitting in the grounds on a sunny day is very peaceful We went by train this time, though we noticed there is now a charge for parking, but there’s plenty of available space. Also electric car charge points at a reasonable rate. A great place to stay
