Room was small but comfortable, but very noisy road outside with noise throughout the night. En-suite could do with a refurb. Good breakfast and lovely communal areas.

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

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.

Wouldn’t Recommend for Exploring London

Pros: the staff were polite; breakfast buffet (same each day, only hot option is oatmeal) Cons: the room was REALLY small. Two people moving around the space with luggage required a lot of negotiation. Virtually no place to sit in the room except for the bed. I listened to another customer complain about the size and get upgraded to another room, but we just tried to spend all day out. Booked a superior king room. Maybe king beds are much smaller in the uk, but it felt like a double with two reasonably sized people trying to sleep. Also, the weather was very hot during our stay and the room was stifling at points. The area is quite loud at night. Woken by sirens every night of our stay. Using the DLR to get into London was fine—or the c2c the two days DLR was down— but it added time and expense. Especially if you have to get somewhere early, it would be much easier to stay inside zone 1. It also wasn’t cheap for being further out and tiny. We paid over $1800.00 for 8 nights. At that price, it would be much better to get a room in the city center. It couldn’t be smaller and would certainly be more convenient if your goal is to explore London. We also shared the space with loads of groups having retreats and/or seminars, so we didn’t feel comfortable using the gardens or other rooms at times.
