The Royal Foundation of St Katharine London

Reviews

1. MM ★★★★★

   A Remarkable Stay at The Royal Foundation of St Katharine Our family spent a delightful week at The Royal Foundation of St Katharine with our two-year-old daughter, and the experience exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff were exceptionally welcoming and attentive. In particular, Wendy’s warmth and professionalism left a lasting impression, making us feel genuinely cared for throughout our stay. Each morning, we enjoyed a superb breakfast featuring a wide selection of fresh and delicious options to suit every taste. The property’s tranquil garden was another highlight—an enchanting retreat where our daughter was delighted by the sight of playful squirrels. The Royal Foundation of St Katharine offers the rare charm of a place that feels more like a family-run haven than a conventional hotel. The genuine kindness and thoughtfulness of the staff create an atmosphere of comfort and hospitality that is truly special. We would wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a peaceful and memorable stay in London.

   I stayed here as I had an event at the Troxy nearby. The location was convenient for that, and although it’s a bit out of the way for central London, the DLR station is right next to the property, which makes getting around easy. My single room was small but had all the necessary amenities for a one-night stay. The staff at reception were super friendly and welcoming. However, I found it quite expensive for that part of London, so I’m not sure I’d stay again mainly due to the price.

   My parents stayed here over 8 nights and absolutely loved it. They particularly liked the food and calming atmosphere of the complex and the room was well-suited to their needs. Limehouse is such a lovely undiscovered gem! From here you can walk along the Thames, canals, down to Wapping or Canary Wharf... It's so close to central London and right next to the train. For those complaining it is far, I don't agree (everywhere in London unavoidably requires travel). I can't wait until my parents visit again - we will go for afternoon tea!

   Given it's location it is very quiet and the bed was super. So the main criteria of a good night's sleep was achieved. Good connections via Limehouse DLR and local buses. The yurt cafe is very good and does light meals and drinks during the he day. The breakfast is very good and was included in the price. Its continental rather than a fry up - but very nice. Wouldn't hesitate on booking again. Nice NOT to have a TV in the room

   Sadly, St Katherine's is becoming unaffordable to the humble traveller. The rooms were always clean, yet utilitarian, (though they do seem to experience regular plumbing issues such as flooded shower rooms, etc). It's hard to discern the original monastic ethos or testimony to hospitality when the prices are little different to the big London hotel chains. Although it is a surprisingly quiet location, as soon as you leave the campus it is threatening and horrible; transport links are not ideal either. I'm disappointed that I now have to look elsewhere when I need a bed for the night.

   Posting as I live on Narrow Street, right by here, and the review from 2 weeks ago said this is an unsafe area. Lol not sure what he is talking about, this is an extremely safe and upscale area with tons of history. Its right down the road from the River Thames, and the famous Thames Historic walk. And a 5 minute train rise to Canary Wharf. Police patrol regularly, and this area of Limehouse has tons of millionaires living by the water.

   I booked this hotel for my trip to London. I didn't know the hotel was located in a bad area. I felt unsafe and the hotel itself is dated, with stained carpet, the decorative pillows in the room smelled like dirty sweat, and the rooms were very small where I couldn't even open my suitcases. I decided to leave after about 4 hours there. I informed the person at the front desk of my decision. The hotel refused to refund me any of my money. I personally do not recommend anyone staying here. For the price you'll pay you're better of staying in a hotel in a safer and nicer place, where you perhaps have a chance to get your money back.

   I came for a venue showround - and was blown away by this small oasis of calm. The rooms have recently been refurbished and are gorgeous. The whole place has such an air of calm and welcome - and was spotless.. We had lunch in the formal dining room - which was both delicious and healthy. Later I had a peppermint tea in the Yurt Cafe which is open daily to the public during the day, and in the evening Thursday to Saturday, sometimes with music - and is obviously a well loved community space, with a an attached soul space for quiet contemplation. I came to look at this from a corporate point of view - but I am seriously considering returning for one of their retreats. Just lovely
