Such a delightful place to stay in London, a short walk from the DLR train and bus stop. There was so much to look at inside, every nook and cranny was filled with interesting tchotchkes and antiques. Each floor was filled with live plants and the rooftop garden was beautiful. Quiet rooms were available for working and many had space with tables for meetings of 10 people. The breakfast buffet was elaborate. It had anything you could want to eat and maybe even somethings you hadn't ever before. Everything was delicious. Though we did not stay long enough to take advantage of the sauna and Turkish bath, we did go look at the spa. It's the kind of place you would want to stay at least 4-5 days to relax, unwind, and enjoy all the amenities. Lovely stay.

Our experience at the Limehouse Library was fantastic. It's even better in person. Each room is designed after a person. We (three women) got the family suite and ours was after a Turkish doctor, Dr. Türkan Saylan. The suite felt like a mini apartment and was spacious, well designed, and overall a fun/quirky place to stay. I'd absolutely book again next time I'm in London. Oh! And all the staff was so helpful and kind. They helped carry our luggage up and down. Wanted to highlight the rooftop terrace as well, a beautiful and private spot to wind down. The security to our area made us feel even better. The only negative things I can think of is the shower set up and the area itself. The "door" of the shower only covers about a third of the tub so after a quick rinse, the floor is soaked. It wasn't a real problem, but definitely worth noting if need be. The area is a little on the fringe but coming from LA, I didn't find it intimidating (for female travelers). Just pay attention to the lifts at the nearby station, sometimes they're "occupied." Had a great time!

Only a single night stay but very happy with my stay. Unfortunately besides sleeping and breakfast I only spent about 20 minutes here as I was attending a function. Intriguing decorations and some might find some of the 'nick nacks' spread around the hotel a bit OTT especially if you don't like things like clowns and dolls. The bedroom theme in the room I stayed was interesting and towards the subtle end. When you turn the TV on in your room it plays information about what/who the room is based on. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and warm, there is a/c in the room the bathroom was a little small but perfectly functional. The breakfast buffet was excellent with plenty of choice. Some Mediterranean food made a nice addition to breakfast, plus the traditional Full English. I'd stay again.

I’ve stayed in many hotels over the years and this has got to be one of the worst check-in experiences I’ve ever had. Why does everyone have to show photo ID? It’s officious and over-reaching. I’ve paid up front, I’ve provided a rather hefty £100 deposit and I’ve shown my ID…. Why does everyone else? It’s only by luck my partner had ID with him when he arrived later otherwise the Reception seriously were saying they weren’t going to let him stay. Very stressful experience, not what you want when checking into a relaxing boutique hotel. Absolutely would not recommend

It is a very quirky hotel and nice to be able to see inside a beautiful old building. We were given a Castro branded room, which was like sleeping in a kids room. Checking in is an overly long experience, necessitating QR codes, ID checks and a £100 pre-authorisation. You don’t often see queues to check in anymore but this all adds up to an odd start to the stay. I’m sure there are nice things to say about Limehouse as a destination?…

Room was clean. However, prior to our trip, my card on file was used at a restaurant in the area, which the hotel was then promoting at their front desk— suspicious. Hotel staff was generally unhelpful and so loud outside of our room in the early hours of the morning. Didn’t give new towels when we requested and were very stingy with the free amenities of the room (water, coffee, etc.). Made us feel like we were bothering them any time we asked for anything. Hotel is not central to most tourist destinations in London, but has a bus stop immediately outside and a train station that is about a 7 minute walk. Will not be returning, mostly due to the unauthorized card charge.

Room was not very spacious but sized just right, With all the useful amenities provided and well designed features I felt so comfortable and actually had a very good sleep. Staff were very friendly and helpful and room was quiet too. I was really surprised when I toured to the terrace area the next morning. It was so peaceful.
