The Royal Foundation of St. Katharine is truly an oasis in the heart of London. It's a rare gem offering peace and serenity amidst the bustle of the city. The beautiful garden and the profound silence make it feel like a hidden retreat—something you wouldn't expect to find in London. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The rooms are cozy, and the beds are wonderfully comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep. Although I didn’t try the breakfast, the delicious aroma of freshly toasted bread greeted me every morning, which was a lovely touch. The location is slightly outside the city center, but it’s well-connected by buses just around the corner, making it easy to get wherever you need to go. My favorite spaces were the lounge and the garden. I spent several evenings in the lounge, doing some art, and it was so peaceful that it felt almost surreal. If you’re looking for a tranquil place to unwind, I can’t recommend this place enough. It’s a haven of calm in the middle of a vibrant city.

The location is slightly outside the city center, which might not be ideal for some. However, this is easily solved by the excellent bus connections just around the corner, making it simple to get wherever you need to go.

Eigentlich gar nichts

Keine Kommunikation, Zimmer zu klein, Frühstück lässt zu wünschen übrig

We enjoyed the quality of the bed, the breakfast, the proximity to the metro station. The Yurt Caffe was also very nice and the whole Residence very cosy.

Neighbourhood is not the best, but is good you are just 2 mins walk to the metro. Room is small, but I guess this is what you get in London for a decent price.

Not much

Noise next to rail station, small room but advertised as delux double with pictures showing larger room than actual

I loved the grounds and the story of the foundation. It was so great meeting the Master, and hearing some of the history in the chapel. The room was simple and clean. I could’ve used a little stand for my suitcase, but everything else was just right for the stay.

The conference rooms were quite “conference roomy” - if that makes sense! Absolutely adequate, and nice looking, with gorgeous comfortable chairs and so on. I think because we were on a “retreat” - not your typical course, floor cushions and other forms of seating and gathering would’ve been amazing for our specific event, for meditations, group work and sharing stories.

Super Frühstück, tolle Auswahl. Im Café, im Haus, im Garten schöne Atmosphäre. Oase in der Großstadt mit sehr guter ÖPNV Anbindung und sehr freundlichem Personal. Haben sehr gut geschlafen, sehr sauber

Ottima accoglienza, personale molto gentile, ottima pulizia, bellissimo prato interno dove si può stare comodamente, una oasi di pace e verde, colazione molto buona, molto vicino (due minuti a piedi) alla fermata Limehouse del treno di superficie DLR. Parcheggio interno privato sicuro. Ci torneremo sicuramente.

Manca l'aria condizionata. Siamo capitati in giornate torride con 37 °C ed oltre. Gentilmente ci hanno dato un ventilatore. Manca la TV in camera (a noi non interessava).

Good venue and a good links with some good places nearby. Some reception staff were very good and very informative. Sitting room was delightful and peaceful. Breakfast was very good.

Nothing to complain about, except may be information about getting to sites in London.
