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.

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.

Interesting historical place to stay, and very good value for money for London! The bed was comfortable and I slept very well, also thanks to the quiet atmosphere. The free breakfast was tasty, with different options available. The DLR station was nearby, with national trains as well. Would stay here again!
