Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I loved staying here, easy to get to. Staff all wonderful and helpful. Rooms lovely and clean. Nice quiet environment for really chilling and relaxing . Breakfast was good too!!
If only the rates were favourable every week then I would stay here by default it’s an oasis of calm in the busy city lovely staff, room clean and has everything you need, breakfast if very nice as well
Room was small but comfortable, but very noisy road outside with noise throughout the night. En-suite could do with a refurb.
Good breakfast and lovely communal areas.
Very tranquil atmosphere and friendly staff. Breakfast buffet had good quality food and options. Rooms were compact but clean and we had a nice view of the garden.
Had a lovely stay here after a local festival.
Staff were friendly and welcoming.
Room was clean.
Breakfast was lovely.
Great location for a nice walk along the Thames path

Disliked: Room comfort
Not as tranquil as advertised but nice & welcoming
The room was more basic than usual with laminate floors throughout but clean with good shower facilities no TV but plenty of tea and coffee in the room
Nice grounds and comfortable facilities in common areas but not as relaxing as hoped as noisy clatter of trolleys in the morning
What a gem. Such a tranquil spot off the busy Commercial road. Loved it. Excellent location for transport, 5 minutes from Limehouse DLR. Yurt cafe a bonus. ..Excellent breakfast. Lovely staff.
