The entrance lobby is totally unique. Was looking forward to a "themed" room only to discover it was themed with a character which I don't approve of, so surrounded by reminders during my stay. Not given option to change. Bed was comfortable, shower ok (strange fixed narrow head, so not easy to negotiate if you didn’t want to wash your hair. Room not particularly large, considering it was supposed to be a "deluxe". I didn’t have breakfast, so can't comment on that. Not somewhere I would stay again, I'm sorry to say, as it didn’t meet expectations.

This is such a cute little place close to transport. I didn’t want to be in the city center, but close enough to see everything. The breakfast was the best! Get room toward the front of you don’t lie the ambient noise of the train. The rooftop garden was gorgeous. I’d stay here again for sure

Curious but clean

Lovely cost-effective hotel near City/Canary Wharf. Slightly bizarre public areas full of stuffed toys, prams, garden ornaments etc which is a bit off-putting.

The Limehouse Library is a beautiful hotel, a lot of care and love went into the amazing design. Staff also amazing, very helpful and pleasant. And a truly great hotel breakfast. The location is not necessarily convenient for everyone but in fact the Docklands Light Rail taking you quickly to Bank station is a short walk away. If this were in Central London I shudder to think what it would cost. So, great hotel, tremendous value.

Charming little hotel

We loved the eccentric details in all the antiques and collectibles at Limehouse library hotel. Also we loved that the canary warf was a short walk away. However it did take some navigating to get around as London is so big and spread out. The location is quite a ways away from all the tourist spots. The uber ferry was wonderful to use and very scenic as well. Regarding the room, it was lovely and very comfortable.

Below expectations

The pictures on google and those on Instagram are very different to the reality. I can only describe it as going back in time in to your nannas attic. The whole place is full of trinkets, bizzare ornaments, china dolls, random kids toys. It was a conplete senses oberload and not in a good way! The breakfast wasnt great either, very limited and not a great variety.

The hotel itself was beautiful. The staff was friendly and kind, also helpful with questions about the area and honest about things like keeping your cell phone and purse close to you in certain areas. It is a five minute wallk to the closest tube, and if you are not in a rush, its a 10 minute walk to the ferry which is fun to take when you can.
