The Rookery

My first time in the hotel and I am still shocked. So charming! The rooms so lovely and the breakfast was amazing…but probably the best was the staff with David, Alex, Jodi and Gary so nice people. They make you feel very comfortable and relaxed.

We arrived at The Rookery after dark and even though it is an easy three minute walk from Farringdon Station, we almost missed it as the facade was covered with scaffolding. But, what a joy to be welcomed into its front hall, so rich in a sense of history. We loved our 3rd floor room - Sophie Rood - although travelers with heavy bags, take note. Toosh from the front desk kindly helped with our suitcases, but there is no elevator. That aside, we would want the same room next time. Its lighted fireplace, lovely portrait, beamed ceiling, and beautiful desk-turned-armoire embraced us. The room was clean and the bed wonderfully comfortable. We loved the beauty and comfort of the different common rooms, all of them furnished with comfy wing back chairs, period lamps, and antiques. The library was stunning. There is an honor bar and it was lovely to come back after a day of touring, mix a drink, and relax in this beautiful setting. Bagheera, the black cat, would saunter through for a visit which added to the sense of home. At the front desk, Dave, Alexandra, Muslum, Augustine, Robert, and Toosh were ever helpful and friendly in answering questions and making suggestions.I believe it was Muslum who recommended the nearby Fox and Anchor pub which we LOVED. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

My partner and I visited for my birthday and were utterly spoiled by the lovely staff who upgraded us to the incredible Rook's Nest suite, which was possibly the nicest birthday surprise I've ever had. I've stayed in all three of the sister hotels and I think The Rookery might just be my favourite. ||We wanted to pass on our gratitude to the generous and welcoming staff who made our stay a pleasure. Love this gem of a hotel with its peaceful library, wonderfully decadent rooms (with just the right level of Georgian naughtiness. That bath..!) and lovely resident cat, making it all feel like home. Bliss.

Great vibe! Friendly staff, AND guests! Rooms were lovely, slept like a log, breakfast delicious. Didn't try the cosy looking honesty bars, but nice to know they were there - next time... slight issue with bathroom, in that characterful roll top bath and old shower fitting but no shower curtain. Tricky... But had already had a lovely stay, and will be back, so not a biggie, atmosphere more than made up for it.

Beautiful hotel a little gem found it very relaxing and loved that it was so different to were we normally stay when visiting London . Lovely room steeped in old history very comfortable bed slept well . The only little downside was the heating wasn’t working in room but they soon sorted with electrical heater . As weather had turned gets cold quick . But made up for it by sitting by fire reading lots of lovely books from there library. Most enjoyable stay thank you

A weird little hotel that feels very old and run down. Staff are totally charming. Rooms are very small and the tube runs underneath the hotel which means the beds shudder every few minutes during the night which gave me terrible motion sickness. |The location is great though so depends on what matters to you most!

I had the best stay here of any hotel I’ve stayed in ever. Friendly welcoming so comfortable and actually really good value for a city centre hotel. Although right near Farringdon station as soon as you walk in it’s so quiet and peaceful. Room service outstanding value and really good food. Couple lovely lounges with bars. To note there is no on site restaurant but room service (which they will also deliver to lounge/courtyard) is really good and excellent value. There is also no typical kettle/coffee making in room BUT the room service for coffee was super quick and really good coffee and also good value. Generous selection in mini bars. I would not hesitate to return just to stay at the hotel.

We visited this hotel for one night. We wish we could have stayed longer. Beautiful old building with fantastic rooms and decor. The rest of the hotel was full of interesting rooms you could relax with a drink or a complimentary slice of cake. |We had continental breakfast delivered to our room and it was wonderful.
