Limehouse Library Hotel

The hotel is really cute with interesting decoration and atmosphere. I appreciated how they handled our reservation that was a complicated one, divided in three separate parts. Especially, the fact that they took into account my preference for a specific room and they reserved it for our whole stay, although they explained when I made the booking that this might not be feasible. The room was spotlessly clean. There was an issue with the drain in the shower at some point, but the staff handled it effectively and without being intrusive in the room, exactly as I had requested. The breakfast room was beautiful and the breakfast itself acceptable, but without being something special. The location of the hotel is a little off center of London. We needed about half an hour, taking the Tube to reach most London attractions, which for the size of London might not be that much. The Bank station, though, which is at the limits of central London and an underground hub for many lines, is only two stops away from the Limehouse station, which serves the hotel (5 min walk). The hotel is located on an avenue and a neighbourhood with not much to do around. However, it is very close to the picturesque Limehouse basin, and we enjoyed a lot the stroll from the hotel, through St Catherine's area, and following the Thames path along the river. The walk took about an hour and revealed many interesting places in that residential area. In summary, we loved the hotel and the staff. If I was to consider something before booking next time to the Limehouse Library hotel, that would be only the location. However, that would probably not stop me from booking again and definitely from highly recommending it.

Very convenient for the concert at the Troxy, and remarkably quiet with the Commercial Road outside. Aircon worked well, room was nicely themed and bed was comfortable, in fact the whole theme of the hotel was very interesting. Breakfast was excellent, did not get much time to enjoy it as had to get an early train. I nearly missed the message that states you need mandatory proof of ID (Drivers License or Passport) for check in.

What a beautifully unique find. This has to be one of the best hotels I've stayed in. So beautiful, so quirky and attention to detail second to none. Fantastic value! I stayed with my 17 year old son and we were devastated that we didn't have time to fully make use of our stay. With spa facilities included in the price, it was extremely good value. We had a twin room that was designed around a Japanese author. Each room had a theme/muse. Our room was light with a double and a single bed. A mini bar, coffee machine, water, dressing gowns, slippers and shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and body lotion. Air conditioning on both sides of the room and a great shower. Spotlessly clean! The hotel is decorated beautifully and is covered in amazing items from curios to old toys to plants and books. There's a library, study room, garden and terrace, to name a few. The only thing that made me give it a 9 was the noise from the outside road. Not really the hotels fault but I did check the window wasn't open as it was quite loud. That said, I'm used to the very quiet countryside! Staff were very friendly and I was given a rose for mother's day when chewing in

I was attending a gig at Troxy and the location of the hotel was perfect, and I appreciated the midday checkout time so I could have a lie-in! The hotel itself is beautiful, it's decorated in such a fun and unique way which I loved - there was so much to look at and I loved the themed rooms. I was upgraded to the Gilgamesh suite which was really appreciated - the room had everything I needed, the bed was comfortable, there was plenty of outlets to charge my phone, the shower was hot and powerful, and the room itself was massive with a separate living area and a bedroom upstairs. I wish I had more time to appreciate the hotel, I'll definitely stay again if I return to Troxy.

Beautiful, quirky interior and interesting pieces to discover. The director/owner was a very humble man. Breakfast had dragon fruit! This place surprised us, over and over again. Some real magic contained in these walls. Great showers, too.
