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

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.

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.
