East London Oasis

A place of calm in the bustle of the East End. Nothing fancy but sensibly priced and close to DLR. Breakfast good, bed comfortable and shower great.

Beautiful place to stay, great breakfast in the morning. There was scaffolding outside my window so not very picturesque and wasn’t aware of this when I checked in. Otherwise a lovely place and I would stay again.

Really impressed with the peacefulness and lovely atmosphere. Beds were very comfortable. Bathroom and room clean No TV but that did not bother me.

10/10 Exceptional

Great place for a quiet night in East London. Very convenient for Tower Gateway and lines into the city from there. Don’t choose if you want a full hotel with a bar and spa.
Jonathan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A lot of value for money

Very Nice hotel, good location, Nice staff. The neighbourhood felt safe. Absolutely worth the money. The breakfast was very good. It has a late check in - but since we could store our Luggage at the hotel in a safe room it was okay. The Rooms were always Nice and clean. Properly the cleanest hotel in london i have tried.

10/10 Exceptional

This is the third time i have stayed here. Check in has always been very straight forward and flexiable. Rooms are simple but clean and comfortable. There is no television or radio in the rooms which makes it quiet and relaxing after the hustle and bustle of going round London. The Continental breakfast is very good.
Susan, 1-night trip

Peaceful haven

A real find. Very clean. Loads of communal space. A complete haven with great gardens. Great breakfast friendly staff. Parking, and lift. Superb value for money

Headspace to escape to while busy in London

This is an amazing haven. It feels like a retreat, but within easy reach of central London. The welcome is so friendly. It was wonderful that there are no TVs in the rooms. I will definitely be returning soon.
Nicola, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place is a great little place to stay. It is a 2 minute walk from the Limehouse tube station, making this PERFECT to get anywhere in London! The Yurt Cafe on-site has delicious food too (the English Breakfast and the Yurtarita Pizza were great). The staff is helpful. You can drop off your luggage in their coat-check closet if you get there earlier than check-in AND they let you check-in as soon as your room is ready (don't make you wait). There are some great little pubs and restaurants not far from here too. OVERALL: Great place to stay and I WILL stay here again!

Lovely

Lovely place, sanctuary in the city, you wouldn't think you are where you are. Big comfy bed. Breakfast was fantastic. No TV but actually made a change. Ask for garden view its lovely watching the squirrels and birds, a little haven
Alison, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A tranquil and peaceful setting in a busy area. It is like an oasis. Very good breakfast with a lot to choose from. Lovely lounge area to sit and read or reflect (spoilt a little by people passing to and from reception or dining room so not always quiet). Beautiful courtyard to sit in also. Comfortable rooms. Although outside the centre of London train station is on doorstep so easy to get to. Would return for another visit.
