This is my favourite hotel ever. The Rookery is like your home away from home - but better!. Its small and intimate with fabulous period rooms filled with beautiful things, lush bathrooms and supurb deep claw foot baths. In a word it is sumptuous, very discreet but delightfully quirky. I just loved the breakfast in bed with champagne, the conversatory with honesty bar and the little courtyard out the back. As a smoker it was... more

We just returned from a 7-night stay at the Rookery. We chose this hotel because of its close proximity to my daughter's flat while she is studying in London. It's a convenient location, just steps from the Farringdon tube station. As others have said this is an area away from the more touristy parts of London. So, if you want to be in an area where people work and live, and away from tourists traps,... more

The Rookery really does feel like part of the Old City of London. Very comfortable rooms with all modern amenities but a lovely Dickensian feel. A great area of London to explore lays to the east of the Rookery's doorstep. more

Having lived in London a few years back, on this trip I first tried to find an apart-hotel, but my last minute travel arrangements meant they were all full. So Time Out led me to The Rookery, close-ish to my old flat, and I will be forever grateful. The hotel blends right into the active and real work-live-play neighborhood of Clerkenwell, just steps from Farringdon tube. You enter through a secure door on Peter's Lane--you... more

Located in one of my favourite London areas, Farringdon/Clerkenwell. A little gem of a hotel. I stay in London frequently but all too often in large identity-less hotels. The Rookery is far from this stereotype. Decorated with carefully chosen antiques, soft furnishings and wallpaper this place has real character. Lots of history, all rooms are named after residents of these East London terraces of old you can even read their story in your room. Fantastic... more

You can't help thinking that Ian Flemming would have his uber spy James Bond stay in a joint like this. The hideout is stashed away down a narrow lane behind Cowcross Street, Smithfield, a stone's throw from Farringdon Station and slap bang in the middle of London. It's also just a skip away from St John Restaurant, St Pauls, a very trendy nightclub and a pub straight out of the Clerkenwell Tales by Ackroyd. The... more

Easy access by tube from Heathrow. Very close to Faringdon tube station. Surrounded by eateries. For breakfast go to Smith's just round the corner and opposite Smithfield market. My hair drier kept switching off after just using for a minute. It was "fixed" then did the same thing again, so don't know if they were using a fuse that was too small. Room was very warm as despite air conditioning, it wasn't working properly. As... more

My wife and I recently stayed for four nights at The Rookery. We were quite pleased with our experience at the hotel, and wanted to share those experiences with our fellow travelers. First, the Rookery is perfectly located. Just outside the City (meaning the square mile of the City of London), it is within walking distance of some great sights, including St. Paul's. It is also a quiet area - my wife and I never... more

We stayed overnight after going to a friends birthday party. The staff were polite and helpful and it had all the facilities we needed, except tea and coffee making in the room. The decor is beautiful and warm in contrast to the bland look most hotels have in common more

I loved this hotel. It is like a fabulous little secret in the centre of london. The furnishings, the staff, the food. it is simply beautiful. I would stay here again in a flash. It is so different to the big corporate chains, The service is pretty slow, but simply the beauty of the furnishings, the rooms, the discreet staff, the tasty breakfasts, and the little garden out the back, make this a memorable little... more
