Hotel The Rookery, London

Not a boring cookie cutter hotel, great location, easy tube access, restaurants, and very walkable neighborhood. Really loved having our breakfast in the library in a proper setting with a fireplace. Very stylish. Really enjoyed sitting room in our suite. Very comfortable bedding.

Wasn't crazy about the stairs down to the bathroom, but it was fine. Sometimes life gives you a spacious suite on two floors!

A unique and interesting place loaded with history and very, very romantic and cosy. Location is top very near the Farringdon tube station.

The ”double bed” was very cosy but extremely narrow for two people. Cost very high, especially as breakfast is not included.

Full of character, perfectly located for all of central London, bedrooms furnished beautifully and the staff are exceptional. The living rooms, honesty bars and room service ensure this is a stay you won’t forget.

Nothing worth raising.

It’s one of the most beautiful hotels I’ve stayed in. Full of characters. And location is super convenient if you travel from Heathrow. Elizabeth line connects to central London effortlessly. The bed was super comfy. The staff were so nice and remembered me from my past stay.

There were a few nights when I could hear people speaking or singing loud on the street but guess that comes with Christmas and NYE holiday.

I liked that the hotel has its own style and very helpful staff.

The romantic, dim lighting made it was difficult to make makeup.

I stay here whenever I can afford that special treat. I love this hotel and the sister on in Soho Hazlets

Never been disappointed

Intriguing property, beautifully furnished, fantastic location. Service was fast and efficient. Windows could be opened.

Tea and coffee making facilities were not provided, but they were brought on request and replenished daily. Having fresh milk was wonderful. The trouble is that they were brought, complete with full tea set, on large trays that teetered on small round tables. Because everything had to be ordered in and then balanced on antique furniture, and staff always looked slightly anxious, we agreed this is not a place to go to relax and unwind.

Good location very close to two Tube Stations and therefore convenient for where else I wanted to be. Beautifully appointed boutique hotel. Very comfortable bed. Staff always obliging and helpful.

V little natural light in my room which also had dark walls and dark wood panelling and a bathroom which was down a staircase in the room, but all added to quirky nature of the place, I suppose; no dining room was odd but room service was good and honesty bar was very trusting

Central location, relaxing, open fire, bacon sandwich.

Best kept secret in London. I instantly fell sheltered and cozy like slipping on a robe with a nice hot cup of tea.

Location was excellent. Able to get anywhere quickly. Bed was so comfy but a bit small compared to what we are used to.

Shower instead of tub. But the tub was beautiful.

The decor was stunning, the age, the history, the mood lighting. They’d thought of everything, breakfast was delicious, when we had a fuse blow in our bathroom it was quickly fixed, service was lovely, it’s so quiet for a central London hotel. Everything is just so beautiful! Will stay again for another special treat in the future :)

No coat hooks and a little bit dark in the daytime in the bed room.

Beautiful reception areas, a really handsome building and lovely to spend time in. Gorgeous atmospheric room, clean and comfortable with wonderful period furnishings. Excellent room service and your needs catered for 24 hrs a day.

It's an old building so sound carries.

The extra touches like the honesty bars, complimentary chocolate cake, and the small patio were lovely.

I was woken a few times by the next door person coming and going to their room in the night but that isn't the fault of the hotel!

It’s beautiful and atmospheric, exquisite Georgian restoration of historic building -loved it. The staff were attentive and every detail was special including amazingly well stocked honesty bar in the library so we felt as though we were staying in a private townhouse.

The overall vibe and design is unique and perfect for that part of London.

The age and the design. It felt like stepping back in time

Very charming and super cosy

A station with a kettle and a coffee machine in the room would have been great- ofc we ordered tea in the morning via the room service and it was punctual and nicely served but still I think a kettle would have been a must!

Beautiful property, quirky, boutique hotel clearly loved by the staff.

Nothing

It has characters. Beautifully decorated and it feels like walking into a different time. Every detail is a work of art.

Location

Traditional decor and the luxury feel with the multi areas to hang out without disturbing other guests

Nothing

The room was really nice. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

A bit noisy. Could hear people walking up and down the road.

Everything

There's nothing I didn't like it was perfect

Beautiful room, lovely helpful staff. Very cosy and great location. Will definitely be booking on our next trip to London!

Rooms are a little dark, AC wasn’t very strong. But this was fine as we were visiting in Autumn.

Every detail of this hotel was exceptional. Also, I really enjoy great breakfast at my room.

The warmth of the staff, palpable history of the place, Bagheera, how well they’ve taken care of everything is.

The staff, location, food service and rooms where absolutely amazing. Will was particularly helpful. I will stay there every time I’m in London

Old English charm, super close to Farrington subway station, safe and walkable and quiet area, very friendly and helpful staff at all hours of the day, honest bar was unique and enjoyable.

Toilet flushed was on a long hanging chain, no rhyme or reason on how to get it to flush and often took several minutes to get it working, staff did not warn us it was an issue but when I brought it up later offered to move us to a new room. There is a bath but no shower. Full sized beds are really small especially if you are not used to it. Sink space is very small, no room to put any toiletries.

Beautiful old building, preserved well. Wonderful part of old London and lovely antique furniture.

Would love a full dinner to be offered there.

Very peaceful and quiet. An excellent base for a stay in London. Great bus and tube links. Lovely staff.

Nothing.

All the original fixtures and fitting

Nothing

Well appointed rooms with quirky decor. Breakfast served in room. Honesty bar and lounge areas are a nice touch. Also the cat.

beautiful interiors, wonderful history, helpful friendly staff, quiet location, great transport, best bath ever

nothing

Beautiful building with amazing rooms and great amenities. Kind and considerate staff. And the sweetest cat!

Decor and the amazingly friendly staff

The TV didn’t work, but that didn’t matter

Welcoming, friendly staff, and genuinely comfortable social spaces. It is surprisingly quiet for such a great location.

I had been warned they have scaffolding up but it did make the room rather dark, and not very private. That is temporary though, and everything else was pretty much perfect.

Character

Nothing

Staff were friendly from the time you entered the building until we left the rooms were spotless the service was great will be back again sion

Nice staff spotless through out and the style of the rooms and the history of the place

All rooms as well as the whole house are furnished with beautiful antiques. That’s what I really loved about this hotel: its quaint antique touch! The bedding was excellent and the staff were very kind. Breakfast was also delicious and, to crown it all, they have a very nice cat!

All rooms ought to be equipped with a safe deposit box.

The history , decor and atmosphere-

Lovely top bath - but difficult to hold shower .

I felt the spirit of old England. A perfectly located hotel close to the train, metro and bus station. Close to restaurants, bars and shops, but also a very quiet place to relax. The staff was amazing and very helpful. I would love to come again.

Amazing staff super clean and very relaxing

Everything. The history, the comfort, the service, and the overall feel of the hotel. I particularly enjoyed breakfast being delivered to the room each morning (small note here, the breakfast wasn't included in the cost of the room but was very reasonably priced). The shared guest areas were very well presented and comfortable. Other guests must have thought so too. There was always someone about enjoying breakfast, afternoon tea, or just an evening drink. Finally, the hotel cat was a lovely surprise. She was very friendly and gave the hotel a real homely feel.

I liked everything.

The staff was phenomenal! We loved them all, especially Aaron! We really enjoyed the common areas. My husband had somewhere to go and hang out until I woke up. We also love the resident kitty. Scratches for Begera from us please!

The handles on the sinks made it hard not to get burned or frozen, but I suppose such is the charm of an antique style hotel.

I loved the ambience of The Rookery .... it was like stepping into a Jane Austin novel ! The staff were extremely professional and helpful and the facilities were fantastic. Thank you 😊

The room was slightly too dark.

The four poster bed, the breakfast, the little anteroom, the comfortable bathtub, and the friendly staff

The toilet cistern leaked slightly, which caused a discrete noise until we closed it by hand

Cosy with period features and excellent welcome

Only minor gripe was no tea / coffee in room

We were upgraded, without asking. The room is larger and the bed very comfortable.

There is no kettle / coffee maker. However, I subsequently requested and were brought my coffee, to my pleasant surprise. My other family members didn't know about it :-(

Check in was smooth, even if there was a bit of a frosty vibe initially. Liked the location and the whole feeling of The Rookery. Honesty bar was a nice touch. Styling and decor were lovely.

Somebody stomping around endlessly above my room in the early hours of the morning. No idea if it was staff or other guests. As mentioned above, a little bit more work on the welcoming. Even if you're not directly responsible for checking guests in, perhaps a brief acknowledgement that there's a guest standing in front of you would be good.

This hotel is second to none. It’s impeccably decorated throughout, even the hallways. There’s a lot of cute common areas you can lounge in if you want, including a bar. I stayed here once before, and after this second stay I can say without a doubt that this is my favorite hotel!

There is nothing I didn’t like about the property.
