Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. Lack of dining in hotel is not a problem, as I tend to enjoy exploring different places to eat. Room very quiet and comfortable. It was right opposite the offices that the reviewer below described, but I was not in during the day (why would you?) and the curtains were closed at night. It is... More

First impressions were good - warm decor, friendly staff, great location. We hadn't expected our room to be quite as small and dark, however it looked comfortable, clean and well appointed. We were overlooking St Peter's Lane and soon realised that the building directly opposite, about 3 metres away was a busy office and we could practically read the pc... More

Without doubt the best experience I have ever had anywhere! It ticks all the boxes on a practical level - easy transport access, great area, good restaurants, etc. Then you walk through the door and your heart sings - and for once it is not just the absolutely beautiful rooms but - more importantly -the truly amazingly friendly, funny, helpful...

This is your most friendly hotel. Beautiful decoration, great rooms and the best staff - with a sense of humour. Breakfast in bed is a given, unless you prefer it downstairs. Come again for this kind of hotel. And the breakfast will not disappoint you. The staff is really friendly, going out their way to make you feel at home.... More

A delightful hotel, tucked away down an alleyway within walking distance from Farringdon station. Rooms are quirky, quite luxurious & beds are very comfortable. The shower was in the bath so not separate, only criticism would be the room is a little dark (ladies applying make up) otherwise a wonderful hotel, lots of character & very central if you are...

I had booked this hotel based on reviews in Tripadvisor and it didn't disappoint. The hotel looks lovely on the outside and inside, very "English" and traditional, but very comfortable. We stayed in Thomas Percy on the top floor overlooking Cowcross Street, spacious room and bathroom, very clean. We've had a drink from the honesty bar, but didn't take breakfast,... More

A very interesting and comfortable small hotel. Delightful and satisfying continental breakfast served in your room or the Conservatory for 11GBP. Well located for eating out. The staff, however, is superbly attentive and responsive. They make the stay extra special.

If you're looking for a truly unique stay while in London, you won't regret choosing Rookery Hotel. The service we received from the front desk staff was far superior to what we've experienced in any hotel we've ever stayed in. At one point, my husband asked the concierge if he had any suggestions for antique watch shops. They talked a... More

What a delightful hotel and a pleasure to find in these days of hotel chains. It is like stepping back in time as soon as you enter the front door. The service couldn't be better and the honesty bar and lounge is an excellent idea. We took the family there and it was like being in our own lounge. Highly... More

This is a small hotel, centrally located in a small alley very close to the Farringdon tube station. I stayed here for business for a couple of days, and with the family for a few more days. It wored out well in both cases. The rooms and the common areas are very nice and cosy, staff is friendly and extremely... More
