Picked this hotel for its closeness to Earl's Court station which is a large and clean station with lift access and is one of the stops on the train line from Heathrow airport. The hotel is near to many shops, laudrobar and if you take a walk about 10 mins, there's a Sainsbury supermarket which opens at 630am. Hotel is... More

I stayed here for one day only on a recent business trip and got a very good deal through one of those hotel sites which included a room upgrade that made all the difference for me. Everything looks very neat, very new, sparkling new. The linen, the minibar, it's all there. But the area is boring. It's in the middle... More

I recently stayed in this hotel for two nights. Booked a double standard room after reading one reviewers note that single-bed rooms have no windows. If you've ever stayed in London, you already know that you shouldn't have high expectations from a hotel unless you pay very top dollars. (Even in that case, the result may be a bit disappointing...

I stayed at the Rockwell for one day only in December. The staff was very helpful and friendly. (I booked for the wrong day and so I arrived without proper reservation and it was no problem.) The hotel's decoration is very nice, comfortable, it has a homey feel. My room was quite small (it was a single room) and the... More

Only stayed one night but what a great find in London. A lovely hotel, clean, fresh, no clutter and a refreshing chainge from the dreary London chain hotels. I thought the price incl breakfast for the location and the quality was value for money and I will defintely stay at the Rockwell again. Lovely reception area and very nice communal... More

I loved the Rockwell and would definitely stay here again. Yes, the room was small, but it was well kitted out, bright, airy and nicely decorated. The White Company toiletries are a nice touch and the shower is good. I thought the bed was exceedingly comfortable too, and I had a nice view from my room (proper old fashioned windows... More

I stopped just one night in a superior single room. The room was relatively small, but more than adequate. It was spotlessly clean. The staff were all very friendly. It was a 5 min walk from earls court tube. Certainly would stay again. More

Stayed for three nights attending a trade fair at Earl's Court. The Rockwell has all the attributes I look for: Courteous staff, in hotel bar and dining (food is perfectly acceptable), clean, well laid out room, although the shower stall's a little snug, great location. Not the cheapest, but I thought a good value for the price. More

My husand booked this hotel as a surpirse and it was a pleasant one! The staff were really welcoming and very helpful. Our room was on the lower ground floor and came with a small patio garden with French doors leading to it. It was a spacious room and the decor was just to our taste. The room had air... More
