  A place for relaxation

  Liked: Ideal while we visit family. Unique, a very relaxing atmosphere. No tv, had to read a book

  Liked: Within 200 metres of Limehouse DLR station. St Katherine's built around a beautiful grass quadrangle. Very peaceful. Good value for money. Good breakfast. Close to the historic docks, marina and excellent Docklands museum. It's about 20 minutes on the Docklands Light Railway to the Tower of London.

  Disliked: Check-in is available not until 4:00 p.m. and you need to vacate by 11 am. For an extra 40 pounds they will allow you to check in earlier and check out later. Staff could be more welcoming..
