The Spotlight on The Royal Foundation Of St Katharine Hotel

Peaceful Stay Steps from London's Music Scene

Modern comfort meets historic charm at The Royal Foundation of St Katharine. Nestled in the tranquil Limehouse area, this hotel offers a serene escape just a 2-minute walk from Limehouse DLR Station. Surrounded by peaceful gardens and steeped in history dating back to 1147, it’s a refreshing contrast to the city's buzz — yet close enough to easily catch your favorite shows.
Rooms are bright, airy, and equipped with private bathrooms, tea and coffee facilities, and work desks. Some even offer calming garden views, and free WiFi keeps you connected. Please note: in keeping with its restful atmosphere, rooms do not have TVs.
Check-in is from 16:00, and check-out is at 11:00.

Why Concert-goers love it

Being just steps from Limehouse DLR Station means quick trips to major venues around Canary Wharf and Tower Hill. The peaceful environment is perfect for winding down after a high-energy show. Plus, the hotel's flexible vibe and reliable transport links make getting in late a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable, peaceful base
  • Solo travelers ticking off a bucket-list concert
  • Couples making a romantic weekend of it
  • Fans who want a quiet space to recharge post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers seeking value and charm

Food and Drink Options

Start your day right with a hearty continental breakfast featuring fresh fruit, croissants, meats, and cheeses. There's also a cozy daytime café on-site — perfect for a pre-show coffee or a light bite. While there’s no late-night dining, Limehouse has several eateries within a short walk.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself maintains a tranquil atmosphere (no on-site bar or live music), its location means you’re just a quick ride or Uber away from vibrant bars, clubs, and lounges across Canary Wharf and Shoreditch.

What People Say

Guests rave about the calm atmosphere, beautiful gardens, and superb transport connections. Many highlight the friendly staff and the hotel's historic charm, making it a memorable and relaxing stay.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention missing having a TV in the room, and others note that the peaceful, retreat-like vibe might feel a bit too quiet for those seeking a lively, social hotel experience. Also, parking is available but managed externally, so it’s best to plan ahead.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a peaceful, well-connected stay after a night of music and excitement in London, The Royal Foundation of St Katharine is a charming and convenient choice.

Very good

Liked: Loved the location. Breakfast was delicious. The bed was really comfortable.
Disliked: We opted to bid for an upgrade from a superior double to a suite. We were given Brother Roger room. The bed was huge and really comfortable. The sitting area was lovely. However, given the heat, the windows needed to be open and the noise from the road was really bad. At an additional cost of £60 for both nights, we were accepting of the noise. Had we have paid full price £120 for two nights, we would have been disappointed.

Liked: I chose TFSK as we were travelling to Euston and were attending Iron Maiden at The London Stadium. The location was absolutely perfect with roughly similar travelling times both ways. Staff were lovely and helpful.Limehouse DLR station was a two minute walk to/from accommodation.We stayed in an apartment (flat 2) and it was fabulous. Everything we needed for our short stay.Breakfast was included and this was continental style. Great coffee!Loved our stay and would definitely stay again.
