Limehouse Library Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Such a cool hotel! We stayed in the Socrates room and it was lovely. I loved the style and the “Easter eggs” I found in the room (the back wall behind the bed had these little “doors” and some of them were small cabinets and others just swung around to reveal another side which was a line about the importance of libraries — I loved this!), it also left me dying to see other rooms! Next time I book I may request the Mary Shelley room! Breakfast was EVERYTHING and you can see they are mindful of being visited by the entire world in their selections — from a full English to homemade jams and a variety of breads, croissants and toasts, to European charcuterie and olives, to Scandinavian yogurt, granola and fruit, to vegetarian and vegan friendly options like avocado toast etc… and these delicious curry sausages (I don’t even know what they were but they were very good!) I also loved how the hallways still had that “library” smell and feel! But the room felt very much like a hotel room. Very nicely done."
