Great oasis of peace with convenient links from Limehouse DLR into central London. A lovely place to go for a retreat, prayer or coffee/lunch at the Yurt Cafe. Unfortunately, they have started to apply daily charges (£15) for car parking, which is disappointing and the parking app over-charged for 1.5 days (reception manually resolved issue). I will be back!

Great place for a quiet night in East London. Very convenient for Tower Gateway and lines into the city from there. Don’t choose if you want a full hotel with a bar and spa.

Beautiful place to stay, great breakfast in the morning. There was scaffolding outside my window so not very picturesque and wasn’t aware of this when I checked in. Otherwise a lovely place and I would stay again.

The RFSK can be used simply as an affordable (London prices) hotel which is how we used it. We had the hedonistic motivation of a gig at the Troxy - a wonderful art deco venue (ex cinema presumably) just five or ten minutes away. However, it also provides a valuable community and spiritual hub. The buildings surround a large lawned area, with a carpet of snowdrops when we were there, and there are plenty of seating areas within the buildings to allow comfortable relaxation and reflection looking onto the gardens. There is a place of worship / church on site - we didn't see inside as we didn't want to disturb the ongoing activities but we could see an organ through the windows and it had views onto the green space. There are many meeting rooms available it seems and we saw various activities taking place which we presumed were of a spiritual nature. RFSK is also responsible for the Yurt Cafe which is nestled between RFSK and Limehouse DLR stop and provides a shortcut route when open. The cafe itself is wonderful with a creative space for children and dreamcatchers, feathers and the like. The food was great, full english breakfast was nicely presented and great paninis. The RFSK provides an extensive and fresh continental breakfast. It's worth noting that the room didn't have a TV - unusual for hotels but we never use the TV in hotel rooms. Also, it is amazing how fond of using their car horns are drivers in the area - maybe that's just London traffic...

I enjoyed the stay. The room was clean and the staff was great. The Yurt Cafe outside the hotel was really nice and cozy.
