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

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.
