    The location is a bit further from the center, 15 minute walk will take you to the Limehouse light rail station and from there you can get on to the tube

    Unique atmosphere and really nice staff. The building used to be a library and transformed into hotel in 2021. Room accomodations were okay, the bedroom even had slippers

    There would be enough room for a 2 seater sofa or comfortable lounge chairs, which would have been lovely after a long day. Instead, the seating was more like dining chairs and not very relaxing. No toiletries, we didn't bring any as usually they are included in the price.

    Loved the hotel had a former life, and they had kept the ethos of it being a library. With rooms being dedicated to writers and poets. The bar and restaurant were full of wonderful objects. The hotel was in easy reach of tube there was a range of eating places near by. A great area for exploring the East end of London. Staff helpful and friendly they took us to our room and gave us history around the building. Room big clean had everything we needed. There is a mini bar, but we didn't use it. Bed comfortable had great nights sleep. Great shower and bath Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others

    The shower was not as clean as I would have liked, the room had several bright lights that couldn’t be turned off, and there is ineffective soundproofing in the rooms.

    I have stayed in nicer locations but this is not reflective of the hotel. It took approx 20-25mins via tube and DLR to get to the hotel from Euston.

    The staff were incredible!! The kindest and most generous hotel we have ever stayed in. The hotel is immaculately clean and smells wonderful. We were given an upgrade to a Superior King room (Issac Newton) which was super comfy! I wish we had of booked ahead for the spa.

    Love the facilities, this was our second visit. This time I got to enjoy the spa, the sauna was very quiet, and I got the hammam treatment that was very much worth it. The staff is super attentive and their breakfast is absolutely amazing, great choice and outstanding quality. Highly recommend, will definitely be back again.

    I loved the location, close enough to central London but far enough to get out of the crowds. The hotel itself was unique with its decor, there was a lovely roof top terrace where I you could sit and have a drink. My room was decorated after a famous French philosopher. There is a lovely Turkish bath inside the hotel which was just what I needed after a day walking round London.

    Excellent find. Quirky hotel that has kept lots of character from the original library. Well placed for transport links to the city and West end. The breakfast was an excellent selection of fresh fruits and anything that you could need. We had an evening meal one one of our nights which was excellent value for money freshly cooked

    Great if attending the Troxy.

    Only small niggles, the flush mechanism in the toilet was letting by and dripping loudly, as it was an accessible room (not mentioned when booking) the door to the bathroom could not be shut tightly, the drip got old fast. Bar was shut after the concert, think it closed at 11pm.

    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.
