    Nothing to complain about, except may be information about getting to sites in London.

    Good venue and a good links with some good places nearby. Some reception staff were very good and very informative. Sitting room was delightful and peaceful. Breakfast was very good.

    I can’t think of anything-except perhaps my room overlooking a busy road and the traffic noise.

    It was close to the dlr station and near to the person I was visiting. It felt very safe, clean and comfy. The breakfast was superb. I really liked the idea of a quiet reflective place in the middle of London and the green space in the middle with beautiful trees.

    An oasis in the heart of the East End.

    It might feel different if you were surrounded by groups - I was lucky that there were no large groups on that particular Sunday night.

    A real oasis in the heart of the East End. Bedrooms were very comfy and warm and breakfast had a great choice. The old building is beautiful and some of the rooms could be used just to sit quietly and read etc if they weren't being used by groups on retreat. The main sittng room had a lovely fire and was so peaceful. Reception staff can sell you drinks including wine and there are other snacks on sale too. The chapel is another lovely space and guests can attend daily services if they want to. The grounds are lovely with seating and tables and the Yurt (community cafe) in the neighbouring grounds do great coffees and cakes. Best cheesecake I've had in years. I would definitely stay again and prices were very reasonable for the quality of the surroundings.

    Only downside is the traffic noise from outside and in corridors which I appreciate can't be helped.

    Easy to find very close to Limehouse DLR and within close distance of several cafes, restaurants and shops. The room was clean and comfortable, decorated tastefully and simply. Great to have tea and coffee facilities in the room and a good choice of breakfast included in the price. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

    Some people might find the room small - but it was fine for us.

    It describes itself as an "oasis in the City" and that is just what it is. Tranquil and calm - kind and supportive. View over lovely peaceful garden.

    The original place we booked cancelled on us at the last minute. We managed to book the last apartment at The Royal Foundation of St Katherine's, and it was such a pleasant stay! Clean, comfy, nice food and great staff. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay.

    Stayed for the London Marathon and couldn't have picked a better place. Comfortable beds and clean rooms, fantastic location that was easy to get to on public transport. Staff were so friendly, and incredibly helpful. Great selection from a continental breakfast, catered very well for allergies too.

    Some work going on and the scaffolding covered parts of the view from the room, which was too bad - room is quite basic and not fancy - could not figure out how to turn off the bathroom light
