Old World Grandeur with Modern Comforts

This hotel is lovely...absolutely stunning in its old world charm. The rooms are truly comfortable; all the modern amenities you could need without detracting from the elegant grandeur of posh, classic decor. The staff is lovely and very helpful. I highly recommend this boutique hotel.

My partner and I were only able to stay one night here, but we both enjoyed our stay very much. The room was beautful and unique, as is the whole hotel. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I very much enjoyed the tea service. I would love to stay again if I get the chance.

Great atmosphere, great location. I loved having the courtyards and sitting rooms to sit in. The low water pressure and bath probably provided a true english experience but it was a little challenging for someone used to a straightforward shower. I'd stay again.

Not great, weird plumbing

This joint needs maintenance. Plumbing is from Victorian era. Pipes gurgling all night. WC water flush is so extreme it comes out the bowl & onto the seat and floor. Gross. Dirty carpet. We were expecting old fashioned not defunct.

The Rookery is an old beautiful hotel. The interior was lovely! After staying at three previous places in England, we were surprised that breakfast was not included in the high prices and also each item of water or tea, etc was also an itemized charge. The location was a little loud at night with the neighborhood bu8t seemed safe.

This property isn't for everyone; there's no elevator and there was only a shower tub. It's an old building so the floor above squeaked. That being said, the staff is amazingly friendly; very clean; very convenient to the tube; honor drink bar in library; and nice cat Bagheera.

Really enjoyed my stay at The Rookery Hotel, the room was quaint with old fashioned tub for soaking, we loved making our own drinks downstairs in 2 separate areas and sitting outside in the garden to drink them. There was a man from Turkey (sorry forgot his name) that worked the front desk and he was very lovely. The area was a good location, good for transportation and walking. The only issue is they were doing interviews and closed a couple of the sitting rooms while we were there and we felt like we were in the way, when we wanted to sit there but other than that all was perfect!

Charming Historic Hotel

The staff at the Rookery were wonderful! They were personable, professional and extremely helpful. My first room was on the top floor, and many flights up stairs. I was already exhausted and in pain from a tour I had been on, and just could not deal with more steps. The staff were amazing and were able to switch my room to the 1st floor. The hotel location in an up and coming area of London is interesting and convenient to many interesting sites south of the Thames, as well as Heathrow. I love the ambiance of the hotel and room comfort, but having only a clawfoot tub in the bathroom was a challenge.
