Quirky hotel with lots of interesting features

The hotel is situated on a main road, only a short walk from Limehouse station or bus stops. The reception received was excellent, it is somewhat quirky in that everywhere has various ornaments, items etc on the surfaces. Staff on reception were helpful, even taking me up to my room. The room was clean and comfortable, it was based on The Orient Express, so the bed appeared a little like a couchette, complete with sliding carriage door in the room. The bed was comfortable, however I recommend a sleep mask, the two roller blinds did not make much difference to the light level in the room, I would have expected the second to be a blackout blind. The bathroom was comfortable, there was some attempt at reducing the environmental impact with hand wash and lotion in refillable bottles, however the body wash, and shampoo etc were in individual single use plastic bottles. The breakfast was self service, a good selection, although the jams were somewhat unusual, no recognisable strawberry or raspberry. There were no clear allergen labels which could create a problem for some guests. The tea was in an urn, it was weak but to be fair staff did make me a pot for myself. Overall an excellent stay with only minor areas for improvement that could be considered in future

Cool hotel vibe. Staff was very welcoming and helpful. A little out of the way for touring London, but local transportation is available. We ended up using a ride share which was more expensive than we’d planned. AC was not as cool as we are used to so we were a little uncomfortable at night.

This is a gem of a hotel to stay near Canary Wharf or handy for Excel which is 10mins by car. Really nicely designed, interesting layout thats cosy and grand at the same time - loved the library and places to hide and work. Friendly staff!

Avoid unless you're an insomniac hoarder!

The hotel is totally overwhelmed with clutter, it is beyond boutique and the photos online do not show the full extent of the mess! It made is feel totally uncomfortable and stressed. The room was below average at best, a poorly themed room with a headboard that has pins sticking out of it so you cannot lean against it, i mean come on! The air conditioning doesnt work. The rooms back onto an extremely noisy residential area with noise until the early hours. We gave up at 4am and left. Didnt even want to attempt the breakfast we paid for.

Totally eclectic

A gem of a place! Situated right on the high street & just a few minutes walk from Limehouse DLR. The exterior is beautiful! But oh…when you walk through the door!! Wow! You’re met with a truly eclectic mix of bizarre ornaments & artwork all the way through the lobby & into to the bar / restaurant area. Each room has a different theme. We stayed in Leonardo da Vinci. Room itself was very well laid out with lots of quirky little touches. Super comfortable bed & a nice bathroom. Not too far from the hotel is Limehouse marina, which is worth a visit. Also close is the Thames path & Regents canal which will take you into town via a very quiet & scenic route away from the busy main roads.
