Friendly staff. Very nice gardens and quiet spaces indoors and out. I would definitely stay again. Parking on site should be free in my opinion.

I found the Royal Foundation of St Katharine easy to find and welcoming. My room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was excellent. I loved the tranquil outdoor space.
Nigel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is our third or fourth stay at RFSK. We love this gorgeous urban oasis. The price for the stay, with an excellent breakfast and parking, is so reasonable. RFSK is clean and as long as you get a garden view room, it is very quiet. Everything is great quality. Simple but excellent. Very good public transport links as well. We love it and won’t stay anywhere else.
Joanne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I love staying here and would pick it every time I visit London. The rooms and decoration requires some freshen up but apart from this the facilities are peaceful, and pleasant and a haven in the midst of London.

6/10 Good

Not as tranquil as advertised but nice & welcoming

The room was more basic than usual with laminate floors throughout but clean with good shower facilities no TV but plenty of tea and coffee in the room Nice grounds and comfortable facilities in common areas but not as relaxing as hoped as noisy clatter of trolleys in the morning
