Everything was fine although there was some sort of noisy air conditioning unit outside my room on the mezzanine level - couldn't actually see out the window so I'm not sure what it is. Did wake me up a bit. Lovely hotel apart from that.

Unique, quirky boutique hotel in East End London. A bit off the beaten path and not in the fanciest neighbourhood, but it's safe and friendly and the Limehouse DLR station is a short walk away which quickly connects you to the heart of the city. The hotel restaurant is excellent, or you can walk down along the canals to some fantastic restaurants by the Thames, or enjoy a pint in one of the many local pubs. If you are looking for something a little different in London, I would highly recommend.

Never again

From the start it was awful, minimal customer service. We were taken to room. And it was small and you could see directly onto the train track. The noise was horrendous. I booked this for my wife’s birthday and contacted them previously to see if they could pre decorate and they offered a cake with a message, nothing was in room on arrival. I went to reception to raise my concerns and I paid extra for an upgrade. We could still hear the trains. Cost of a coffee 5.50 for a tea cup 😂. They assured they would do the cake the next day as we were staying 2 nights. This was not done. The pillows were awful. Asked for an iron we waited a while but decided to leave it. The second room was lovely but i upgraded to a suite. My wife decided she didn’t want to use the spa we didn’t want to give anymore money than we needed let alone 20pp for breakfast we opted not to have that. We found a pub about 10 min walk away. And spent time in central london. Purely based on the customer service would never recommend this hotel.
