Our room was quirky, quiet and comfortable, and service was impeccable from the moment we arrived. Being greeted by Bagheera the cat was a bonus! There are countless restaurants nearby for dinner and our room service breakfast including Brick Lane bagels was incredible! The two honesty bars in the lounges were also well stocked and a nice touch. One small thing - the bathroom it our room was very much designed for style over function. The shower was difficult to get to the right temperature and left the bathroom floor covered with water. Overall we had a brilliant stay.
The hotel and staff were first class . Quiet room considering how central hotel is. Beautiful decor throughout and a cool haven of class and tranquility during a hot weather visit to London. Perfect location for train station & breakfasts fabulous- can’t fault anything - will be back !

Wonderful hotel - staff terrific - would be nice to have better reading lights in bedrooms.
A great Boutique hotel with lots of character.
Friendly and professional staff.
Would like to have seen a in room coffee machine but other than that it was perfect.
Breakfast was very well presented and good quality.
Highly recommended!
The Rookery is a real home away from home. Staff are always lovely and very kind. Rooms are all beautiful and filled with character. Completely unique.
The hotel is comfortable and located nicely near Farringdon station and some fun shops. It is historic and probably more suited for leisure travel than my business trip. Regardless, I was very impressed with the attentiveness and friendliness of the staff.
I truly felt like I stepped back into the 18th century with modern amenities. Beautiful property with kind and accommodating staff and a cute cat ready for pats.
