Basic
Very basic room. No tv, bed was ok. Not entirely what I would call comfortable.

8/10 Very Good

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.

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

East London Oasis
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.

An Oasis
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.

It really is an Oasis in the East End. I think the RFSK should explain the parking at the RFSK better, it cost £36 to park for just over 24 hours, a bit of a shock. I would like to thank the staff for arranging a takeaway breakfast for 6:30 in the morning, absolute life saver as doing Ride London. My wife said her breakfast was great.

A wonderful hideaway from the city
Lovely staff ready to help with any questions. It really does offer a space to breath in such a busy city. Yurt cafe is reasonable and the pizza amazing not withstanding the discount for being a customer of the hotel.

Far away from Heathrow and not tourist friendly
No AC. Had to keep the windows open to sleep. Front desk is rarely available as they are busy with several community meetings. Rooms are good but ill maintained. Breakfast is decent. Can not provide much info about the London areas. Unable to call a taxi in the morning except a company is there that accepts cash only!!! Far away from the Heathrow airport. Taxi may cost £150+.

The retreat centre has a chapel, beautiful courtyard and many quiet spaces for small group gatherings or conversations. The breakfast food was fresh and delicious.
