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!).

This is a hotel of pure quirkiness. Your eyes will not tire from looking around. Finding your room can become a little confusing (esp after a few drinks) breakfast was delicious with a great choice. Staff were friendly. Loved that each room possessed its own unique theme too. We stayed to attend a wedding nearby. It’s nice & close for transporting into more central London. I personally would stay here again.

The property itself was certainly quirky. Lots of colourful ‘stuff’ around in the public areas. Just look online as photos people have posted. A little too busy in terms of clutter for me personally. I would have preferred a more relaxing space to unwind in. The ‘deluxe’ room we had was fairly basic but clean, with a great spacious shower. My one main gripe, and I really don’t get this, is that they provide a small space for hanging clothes with a few hangars but absolute nowhere else to put other folded clothes or underwear for example. There was not one drawer or shelf in the room, although plenty of space for such things. We therefore literally lived out of our case the entire time we were there. For a hotel that wasn’t exactly the cheapest, I would expect such basics/comforts. Location wise, the hotel sits between a busy road and the DLR so is pretty noisy. However, it is a convenient 5 minute walk to Limehouse DLR station which is two stops away from Bank station and the underground network. It’s also a 5 minute walk away from Limehouse basin and onwards to some decent pubs and restaurants. A 10 minute walk away is Canary Wharf and the dock lands where there is an abundance of places to eat and drink. Overall, it’s an OK place to stay, although I personally would not choose to go back myself. Better value for money elsewhere.

Rooms well- appointed and individually themed. TV only got BBC World News. Breakfast v disappointing with cool coffee/ hot water in flasks and hot food kept barely warm in buffet. Bar man service was unfriendly and not very professional . Strange multitude of collections in all public areas of toys/ ceramic ornaments that didn’t seem to relate to the library theme. More like a good B and B than a 4 star hotel sadly.
