The Limehouse Library is a concept hotel, filled with quirky eclectic items. Everywhere you look in the main public areas has something new to see. The nod to the venues library history is well thought out. The bedrooms are more subtle than the public areas with wonderful touches reflecting renowned authors. The staff were friendly and cheerful. We were very impressed by the cleanliness of the hotel, especially with all the ornaments on display. Not a spec of dust on them. And the humidifiers dispensed a lovely aroma throught the corridors. We enjoyed the transport links nearby. We will absoloutely book again. An incredibly pleasant stay.

Clean and comfy but food terrible.

Hotel and room was very clean. Bed was massive and very comfy. Bathroom was clean and fresh. Bad point was the breakfast. Its a buffet style and the food was just about warm. Sausages were all cut in half and looked revolting. The fresh fruit did not look very fresh at all. Bread was not fresh first day it was hard second day it was cold like it had been frozen. And for £20 per person you'd expect a lot better and fresher. I wont be staying again because of the breakfast.

A Gem in East London

The hotel is amazing, beautiful and well decorated. Breakfast 10/10. My room was a bit noise due to the Aircon machines being installed just outside the window, so perhaps and extra layer of window would cut the noise and I missed a big mirror in the room to get changed. To be fair, I got the cheapest room available, I’m sure the other rooms as great. But the one I stayed in has room for improvement.

The staff were very friendly and attentive. The breakfast buffet was excellent. The room and its facilities were disappointing for a 4*. There were hundreds of ornaments etc everywhere, far more than shown on the hotel website. We found it overwhelming and I had my first asthma attack in ages whilst there so we stayed in our room which was a shame as I am a librarian and I’d booked there to explore the quirky interior.

Stepping into Ikea.

Quirky clean hotel but I imagined our room to be like one of the photos, you know a famous character from literature etc but it was none of that. We paid for a deluxe king and when we were shown to our room, I thought we were being shown to the top floor of an ikea showroom; the guy said ‘you are in Greece’ - The bed was laughable for a couple, on the floor and tiny. Bathroom nice though. Many people in the hotel, but all so eerily quiet. Felt a bit like a coralline movie. Sorry guys.

Being fair the hotel is beautiful, the idea is lovely and it’s well presented. Oddly it appears to be in the middle of an area undergoing gentrification so theee re s lots of kebab houses and convenience shops but no restaurants, there is a Tesco and Lidl about 10 mins walk from the hotel. I imagine Thai place is jumping in the summer with the rooftop bar being open. The staff mostly were very courteous, polite and pleasant, however one lady really needs retraining as she was confrontational & rude. I had returned with a friend on Saturday night after having my phone stolen in Soho. He paid for a tax,i I was still in shock and preparing myself for the mammoth task of getting a replacement and accessing accounts. We got back and he asked to charge his phone, reception did lend him a charger and I said did have to start checking ‘find my’ as the police had asked. We were walking down the corridor when the lady on reception shouted after us/me. Confirming I had a single room and there was nowhere for him to stay. I explained he wasn’t staying just charging his phone while I messed around trying to sort this mess out. I was very confused as to why it concerned her at all as I’ve stayed in hotels all across the world and NEVER had anyone query me like this before. I admit it was more than a little embarrassing and really got under my skin. She told me the rooms are for guests only. Honestly wouldn’t recommend it based on this interaction.
