Stayed at the hotel for 2 nights to go to a concert at the 02. Really enjoyed our stay, lovely to stay at an individual hotel instead of a faceless chain. We stayed in a twin room at the top of the hotel. Beds were comfy, rooms were clean, warm and bright. Breakfast was great and we couldn’t get over how all the beautiful plants and ornaments everywhere. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a lovely stay 😊

This is a very unique property, with each room individually decorated. Amenities in the room are basic, although they do provide small bathrobes and slippers and free bottled water. The Limehouse area is not pretty and there are very few restaurants around. You can walk to Canary Wharf in about 15 minutes where there are better amenities.

Wonderful visit

Wonderful hotel with eclectic decorations all throughout. SUPER clean. Excellent service and a wonderful high tea option. Located in an area that is easily accessible by public transportation and has less expensive grocery and restaurant options than the proper tourist areas.

The unique and unusual decorations in the hotel lobby/bar area were nice, and there were convenient fast food places/shops nearby. Yet we didn't feel the room was safe as the sliding door to the bathroom was easily opened quickly, and the wall overlapped the door handle which caused my boyfriend to get his finger crushed in the door which ruined the trip. There was also a 12% service fee if you ate at the restaurant which seemed a little pricey - then again I'm not sure if that is normal for hotels.

This is a beautiful, eclectic, very unique hotel that was once a public library. They did an amazing job with the renovation; you would have to see it for yourself. It’s indescribable. The rooms were comfortable, breakfast buffet was delicious, and the staff very friendly and accommodating. If I ever come back to London, this will be my lodging location of choose!

Beautiful and comfortable hotel

This is such a beautiful hotel. We only got to stay one night but when I return to London I’ll surely stay here again. Note it is not a hotel suitable for toddlers. They have many collectible small items and toddlers love to run away from you and touch or grab things when you don’t look for a second. The beds are super comfortable and the AC works great. Each room looks completely different from the next. The staff out front is so sweet. Right in front of the hotel there is a bus stop and it stops in major places like Liverpool station. You’re able to get to and from the airports from liverpoool station since it’s a major station in London. We took the metro from Heathrow to Liverpool station and right outside was the bus that brought us straight to the hotel. The terrace here is to die for. Exquisite with all its cute plants and scenery. Again it’s a beautiful and very comfortable hotel. Very conveniently located too. I will definitely stay here in the future just not with a toddler. I had a baby this time so it was fine. When she’s in her exploring phase she will stay back because it’s not appropriate for places like these. If you’re an adult couple of just have a small baby like we did or a bigger kid it’s fine though.

Very cute hotel

Hotel was spotlessly clean. Very cute hotel with a lovely roof terrace. The room was bright and modern, it was very warm but it did have air conditioning. Shower over the bath was a bit of a pain, could only have very limited pressure otherwise the shower head shot back and covered everywhere in water. Room very well equipped with nice selection of teas and pod coffee maker. Handy storage area for suitcase including hanging space, but could have done with an iron in the room.

This is a true gem! Its decor inside is unique with all kinds of tchotchkes to look at as you check into the hotel. The 75 rooms each have a theme based on an author. I stayed in the Jane Austen room and loved it. The room has an espresso maker with 2 caffeinated and 2 decaf pods for you to use each day. The tea that's provided in-room is of good quality too. The bathroom was with a shower only and nicely modernized. I was grateful for a shower that allowed me some space to move around. The rooms come with blackout curtains that were very effective and we had privacy sheers that let the light in during the day. They also have some nice amenities like soaps, lotions, shampoos and things. The hotel has many communal areas where you can sit with your travel mates for drinks or tea and still have some privacy for conversation. We had some local friends come join us on the rooftop terrace one evening and they were thrilled to know that this hotel was so wonderful and nearby their home. There are a LOT of plants throughout the property. We loved all the greenery. I tried the Turkish bath service and it was the first time I had ever done one. I fell asleep! It was very relaxing and the service provider was very good. The hotel about a 5 minute walk to the metro station and Canary Wharf is a 20 minute BEAUTIFUL walk. We had great weather during our visit and walked to and from the wharf for dinner.

Quirky and interesting.

The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable, with good quality pillows. The shower taps were reversed (!?!), and the ceiling height in our mezzanine level room meant the hand held shower was hitting the ceiling. The grout in the bathroom needed redoing, and some mould in the corners could do with a good scrub. It was very quiet in yhe room, despite being next to the train line, and I loved the opening windows. Quirky, interesting and in a great location with the number 15 bus outside the door to take you right into town. Canary Wharf is a close walk if the ferry is more your style. Gordon Ramsey's Bread Street Kitchen is a 10 minute walk, and well worth a visit (or three in our case!).
