The property was in a nice location and had a nice healthy breakfast. The first room we had was very small but adequate. The second room we had with the extra room for our third person the bed was a roll away, an older looking room and we had to go through the dining room, which seemed a bit awkward, and up the stairs with no elevator. The staff was very accommodating however the price was definitely on the high side.
The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The breakfast was excellent. Lots of choice. Just a shame our room was near a busy road. Another time I'd prefer a room overlooking the garden.
An oasis in busy London, not far from Canary Wharf. Plenty of parking.
You won't find a tele in your room, and in that sense the room is may be more basic.
Staff is extremely helpful. And for us a place to catch breath and feel the earth between busy days in London with its sensory overload.
Breakfast (in the garden?) has everything you can expect.
Beautiful setting and right next to Limehouse Station. Breakfast was a good variety of cold items along with and tea and coffee. The only negative which is no fault of the property is the noise from cars outside honking at all hours due to traffic congestion. This would not stop me from returning.
We love staying here. The rooms facing the garden are always peaceful and quiet. Beds and rooms are comfy and clean. Fans are always provided. I just wish the windows opened more for fresh air circulation.
Breakfast is buffet but we always find something to our taste. My daughter is vegetarian and she struggled though. Possibly need a few more vegetarian options at breakfast. Otherwise all good thanks.

Staff was friendly, had a calmness around the venue and very welcoming.
My stay at St Katherine’s was perfect in every way, the staff were wonderful and my room (Iona) was a treat to stay in, situated close to a beautiful chapel.
Great value for money, will definitely book again when in London

Helpful welcoming staff and a beautiful building and grounds, excellent breakfast and comfortable room.
The RFSK is very convenient for central London and just a couple of minutes walk from Limehouse DLR. It is a peaceful, comfortable to stay. The rooms are clean, warm and comfortable.
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.
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
