Comfortable stay, clean. Slightly below average complementary breakfast.(nice orange juice.) Had difficulty trying to get a receipt to prove I had paid a deposit. Staff slightly hostile and no information provided. Cleaning was alittle \"invasive\". Aircon provided which was needed to be honest.. when checking in, it was very warm and busy, eveyone had to check in at 3pm tho rooms were ready.. causing a sudden rush which staff didn't handle very smoothly. \"Spa\" and Gym services was okay but lack of staff and information. I would stay again based on locaton and pricing. Beautiful building but mismatched furnishings. Room \"themes\" etc and such charms what are written on their webiste don't really come to life beyond the reception area. It felt commercialised with an attempt to create a unique experience what unfortunately didn't show. Overall 6/10

I absolutely loved my stay at Limehouse. We stayed in the George Orwell room which was a little creepy but super cool. The staff were helpful, especially since we had to extend our stay due to the WestJet strike. Breakfast had a lot of variety and was delicious. Air con worked great, room service was great, the whole stay was great. Perfect for anyone who loves a whimsical vibe.

A truly unique and quirky hotel that is full of surprises and each bedroom is themed, even down to the books! Staff were very friendly and helpful and it's well placed for easy transport into both the city and Docklands. We had an issue with smells in our first bedroom so they moved us. The bed was large and comfortable and the air con was efficient, cooling the room down quickly. The place was very clean and my only comment is that it could do a little bit of TLC in places; our shower door leaked so we ended up with a rather wet bathroom floor that spread into the bedroom and the smaller shower head was also a bit dodgy. However, despite that I would recommend it.

Upon arrival there was 1 other guest in front of us at the desk checking in. The staff asked us to take a seat and wait for them to call us as it was 'very busy', after sitting for around 10 mins watching the staff on their phones, I had to go and ask the staff if we could check in yet. They then offered us some water out of a dispenser although there were no cups available. They then passed us over the iPad to pay the £100 deposit but the iPad listed the full names of all other guests that had checked in that day. Major GDPR issues!

Definitely one of the quirkiest and most interesting hotels I've ever stayed in. Beautifully designed with a very upmarket finish and impeccably maintained. Rooms and public areas were spotlessly clean and tidy. Located in a quiet area for entertainment in east of the city, but perfectly safe and close to the river for walking with a couple of excellent riverside pubs nearby. Highly recommended.

The hotel is easy to reach from central London using DLR from Bank and it is in an interesting area. We enjoyed walking along the Thames path and the Limehouse basin and parks. We also walked along the Regents canal. We wished we had our bikes with us.
It was a very hot day and we arrived late evening. The room we had booked was a deluxe double and on the 4th floor. The AC wasn’t on and the room was stifling. The lovely young woman on the desk found us a different room and we paid extra but it was worth it as the Queens room was delightful and much cooler.
The bed was comfortable and shower was excellent.
The breakfast was included and it was amazing. So many choices in the buffet . The best I have ever had in a hotel.

What a great, unique, inviting, and eclectic hotel the Limehouse Library Hotel is. The owners have done a beautiful job with repurposing this historic Victorian Era building, and ensuring that it has the amenities and comforts that people expect in a modern hotel. Breakfast in the mornings was a delight and a wonderful way to begin the day. While to some the Limehouse area is still not part of the main tourist zone of London, it offers new insights to an area too long dismissed as undesirable. The area is very walkable to numerous sights and transit options. I would recommend a stay for anyone looking to branch out and find some new and old parts of London worthy of a look.

The staff is fantastic and take great care in every detail. They serve a wonderful breakfast and the owner is always present. It is not in central London, which I like because your not in the crowded tourist hub. The tube is only 5 minutes away, so everything is easily accessible.

I was disappointed with my stay. There was a genuine issue with the room, and while I appreciate that problems can happen in any hotel, it's how they are dealt with that really matters.

Unfortunately, the response from both the management and the evening reception staff was very poor. Rather than showing any understanding or making an effort to resolve the problem, they were dismissive, rude, and unwilling to help. I felt that my concerns were not taken seriously, and there was little interest in finding a satisfactory solution.

Good customer service can often turn an unfortunate situation into a positive experience, but sadly that wasn't the case here. The attitude of the staff left me feeling unwelcome and undervalued as a guest.

I hope the hotel takes this feedback constructively and improves the way it handles genuine customer concerns. Based on my experience, I would not choose to stay here again.

We had a magical time at Limehouse Library hotel. We only stayed a night, but wish we could have stayed longer! This place has the all time cutest decor and is so incredibly clean and well maintained with incredibly helpful and kind staff. The room themes are so fun and make for great stories, but are well equipped with free water, coffee, and toiletries. The rooftop terrace is a major highlight as well and is so lovely in the summer. We also got a spa package and that was beyond our expectations and was so relaxing. The breakfast buffet was WELL worth the price, cheaper than anywhere you’ll find in Central London and very delicious! The hotel itself is very close to Limehouse Station as well as several night buses that brought us right to the hotel after a night out. Cannot recommend this place highly enough; we will be back again!

The hotel itself is wonderful. Such a creative re-use of an old building, and the decoration is outstanding. So quirky and interesting, almost like wandering around a quality vintage market come bookstore.

The staff were also incredibly helpful as well.

We'd originally booked a double room, but were upgraded to a suite. I'm not sure if this was an upgrade we wanted unfortunately. The suites are at the front of the hotel, facing on to the busy road. The windows really need secondary glazing to reduce the noise, plus the curtains need to be wider and better lined. The combination of traffic noise and light meant we didn't get a great night sleep.

That aside though, the suite was lovely and spacious, well appointed and the bathroom was great - better than most hotels. Even the minibar was sensibly priced.

If you are sensitive to noise then think carefully, otherwise I'd have no compunction but to book this hotel and it's wonderful.

The area is also interesting to wander, not far from the Thames Path, buses right outside, DLR just a short walk away.

We raised it with the staff who immediately offered to change us rooms, or we could wait.

We decided to change room ls due to plans, the second room was fine and had everything needed.

In return to the room however staff had been in and left a bottle of fiz, a letter addressed to Alice and some chocolate and pistachio strawberries - clearly meant for someone else.

For the first time, I took the breakfast and I was not disappointed. It was very good, with a good share of varieties, and very well-presented. The hotel is well-located, and it is easy to go around, either by buses, or metro. Canary Wharf Station is also relatively close-by, with access to the Elizabeth line to go to Heathrow Airport.

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.

I loved the art, carpets and colour in the hotel! We stayed here after a nearby wedding, It was very conveniently located and the breakfast was excellent!

I booked this hotel after my flight was cancelled unfortunately. But I felt so fortunate that this unexpected stay went so well! 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. The most unique thing of this hotel was it was decorated so tastefully, with countless antique placed in harmonized way. Very impressive!

I really liked this hotel. My only complaint is that it's a bit out of the way and there's not a lot around it to see / eat. it's a quick bus ride or 10 min walk to Canary Wharf & the tube however, so not the farthest out of the way.

Wow, what an amazing hotel. Every room was eye opening and nothing to like I had ever seen before.
The staff were amazing and could not do enough for you - even fetching cucumber from the kitchen for my gin x
The hotel was exceptionally clean, which must take hours and hours to maintain.

Would definitely recommend this hotel, especially if you fancy a change from the normal x

The hotel is utterly breathtaking – I have never experienced such a delightful and enchanting place to stay. Every corner is adorned with an exquisite array of ornaments, statues, paintings and elegant furniture, all chosen with impeccable taste.
Not a speck of dust could be found anywhere, reflecting the hotel's exceptional attention to detail.

The staff were exceptionally attentive and welcoming, and the breakfast was superb – even the avocado was perfectly ripe!

I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area.

My only concerns were locating my room and the placement of charms within it.
I received a complimentary upgrade to a room on the fourth floor; however, navigating the hallways late at night proved challenging due to insufficient signage in the main areas. It took multiple attempts before I successfully found the room (and a solo female traveller, the ease of finding a room is paramount), so additional signage would be beneficial.

The upgraded room featured a Buddha-inspired design, with a decorative arrangement of tassels and charms positioned beneath the air conditioning unit. When the air conditioner operated, it intermittently moved the charms, resulting in persistent noise throughout the night. As I am sensitive to sound while sleeping, relocating these decorations to another part of the room may improve guest comfort.

Nice hotel, quirky and interesting. Unfortunately my lock on my door didn't work and required someone to let me back into my room every time I left.

Additionally, the breakfast was not great.
