Lovely rooms, large for London.

Bathrobes are tiny. Strange smell in the bar, they take 100npounds off your card for pre authorisation which wasn't mentioned. Breakfast start time randomly was put an hour and a half later on the day of the marathon, which meant we couldn't have breakfast as my husband was running the marathon. Drinks expensive. Paid 30 quid for a coffee, a tea, and 2 pints.

The hotel is really cute with interesting decoration and atmosphere. I appreciated how they handled our reservation that was a complicated one, divided in three separate parts. Especially, the fact that they took into account my preference for a specific room and they reserved it for our whole stay, although they explained when I made the booking that this might not be feasible. The room was spotlessly clean. There was an issue with the drain in the shower at some point, but the staff handled it effectively and without being intrusive in the room, exactly as I had requested. The breakfast room was beautiful and the breakfast itself acceptable, but without being something special. The location of the hotel is a little off center of London. We needed about half an hour, taking the Tube to reach most London attractions, which for the size of London might not be that much. The Bank station, though, which is at the limits of central London and an underground hub for many lines, is only two stops away from the Limehouse station, which serves the hotel (5 min walk). The hotel is located on an avenue and a neighbourhood with not much to do around. However, it is very close to the picturesque Limehouse basin, and we enjoyed a lot the stroll from the hotel, through St Catherine's area, and following the Thames path along the river. The walk took about an hour and revealed many interesting places in that residential area. In summary, we loved the hotel and the staff. If I was to consider something before booking next time to the Limehouse Library hotel, that would be only the location. However, that would probably not stop me from booking again and definitely from highly recommending it.

Our room was facing east, and in the morning the curtains failed blocking the light. The curtains need to be thicker and also longer to not leave any gaps.

There was exceptional artwork around/in every corner - impressive galleries right there within the hotel! The staff and proprietor were so lovely and hospitable, they made us truly feel like guests in their special, beautiful home. I opted for an express massage in the spa which was lovely and professional, very helpful after long hours of travel! The food is amazing, the details in each room are prepared with care (from theme room inspired books to a framed poem written by a previous guest) each touch was appreciated ie: GOOD coffee and tea, complimentary nuts and cookies upon arrival - along with a personalized welcome note! The sauna and Turkish bath are clean and gorgeous, and the location is steps from the picturesque Limehouse Basin, The tube, and buses. I just love this place and will recommend it to anyone going to London! THANK YOU LIMEHOUSE LIBRARY HOTEL

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.

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 clean. Comfortable bed. Room concept was individual and unusual. Rooms good value for money - very reasonable for quality of room and ensuite. Staff all helpful and pleasant. Not too far from dlr station. Didn't try facilities but general look of hotel was great.

Unfortunately I found it to be quite noisy on the first night in particular. Wooden floors mean there is noise from above. Air con was noisy. Lots of noise coming from outside. Based on reviews, I did ask for a quieter room, and in fairness I was given an end of corridor room. Some reviewers don't seem to have noticed the noise so I wonder whether it depends where you're put in the hotel.

What a beautifully unique find. This has to be one of the best hotels I've stayed in. So beautiful, so quirky and attention to detail second to none. Fantastic value! I stayed with my 17 year old son and we were devastated that we didn't have time to fully make use of our stay. With spa facilities included in the price, it was extremely good value. We had a twin room that was designed around a Japanese author. Each room had a theme/muse. Our room was light with a double and a single bed. A mini bar, coffee machine, water, dressing gowns, slippers and shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and body lotion. Air conditioning on both sides of the room and a great shower. Spotlessly clean! The hotel is decorated beautifully and is covered in amazing items from curios to old toys to plants and books. There's a library, study room, garden and terrace, to name a few. The only thing that made me give it a 9 was the noise from the outside road. Not really the hotels fault but I did check the window wasn't open as it was quite loud. That said, I'm used to the very quiet countryside! Staff were very friendly and I was given a rose for mother's day when chewing in

I loved the story and history behind this hotel. All the details around the hotel were lovely, including the entrance, lobby, library and terrace. My room was also very big for a single room with ample space for storage. Selin told me how every room is uniquely designed. She was so lovely and helpful!

One downside I would like to point out is that I was on the phone with a friend - at the opposite end of the room and a lady in the room next door to me started knocking against the connected door telling me to speak quietly (despite her having a loud conversation with the people in her room - I didn’t have an issue with her loud sounds). I think I was speaking at a perfectly normal pitch but I guess it’s something to be mindful of depending on the type of people in the rooms around you as that’s beyond your control as a guest

I was attending a gig at Troxy and the location of the hotel was perfect, and I appreciated the midday checkout time so I could have a lie-in! The hotel itself is beautiful, it's decorated in such a fun and unique way which I loved - there was so much to look at and I loved the themed rooms. I was upgraded to the Gilgamesh suite which was really appreciated - the room had everything I needed, the bed was comfortable, there was plenty of outlets to charge my phone, the shower was hot and powerful, and the room itself was massive with a separate living area and a bedroom upstairs. I wish I had more time to appreciate the hotel, I'll definitely stay again if I return to Troxy.

The supply of milk and teabags was a little disappointing as we only had enough for one cup each. It wasn't a huge problem, we could have asked for more, but it would have been nice to have had a little more on offer without needing to ask.

The staff were really friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The room was clean and the bed was really comfortable. The outside is beautiful, and the hallways attractively decorated. The room was nicer than you'd get at a chain hotel, with the added character of being themed which was done tastefully and not over the top. It was very warm so I was grateful for the thermostat to adjust this, and the air-con came in handy despite it being January.

It felt a bit overwhelming like an overcrowded antique shop in the entrance/lobby (I was however pleasantly surprised when the hotel was much more tastefully decorated beyond the lobby). The room was joined on to the room next-door, separated only by a door which had a key left in it that I suspect should have been taken out. The noise from the room next-door was really disruptive but fortunately didn't last long. The shower head was partly blocked, spreading water in all directions and the shower flooded the whole bathroom (it was a wet room but it still spread further than expected), fortunately I finished my shower just as it was starting to go under the bathroom door which would damage the flooring outside the bathroom.

Beautiful, quirky interior and interesting pieces to discover. The director/owner was a very humble man. Breakfast had dragon fruit! This place surprised us, over and over again. Some real magic contained in these walls. Great showers, too.

There is nothing at all we did not like. However, our room was well insulated to the point that it was a little too warm and the air conditioning a little noisy. To open the windows meant more noise but perhaps not acclimatised due to our Scottish heritage :) Apart from this, there is really nothing we could fault.
