Came to stay in this hotel on a trip to England with my family for a few days in August after a friend, who travels constantly, recommended it to us as having a nice homely feel. Almost everything about it was perfect, except no baths (which could be awkward for very young children). The rooms were very comfortable and stylish,... more

Travel to London a lot on business and really liked this hotel having sampled more than my fair share of bad ones. The ambience is the really refreshing thing as it has a homely feel to it, which is what I personally look for. The rooms are attractive, although one drawback for some might be that they only have showers... more

Excellent little hotel with a stylish look to the place. I was staying there as a treat for our anniversary and must say that everything was flawless. We were shown to a large room at the back of the hotel, which was quiet and comfortable. We booked the half board package and had supper in the restaurant as well as... more

Was very disappointed to enter my 'deluxe suite' which had as much character as a Holiday Inn standard room. Expect in Holiday Inn's you get tea&coffee and bisuits at no extra cost. Unlike the Rockwell. Very bland with no character at all. No DVD player or i-pod dock and no bath. Bathroom was as small as they are in Paris-tiny!... more

Never have I checked out of an establishment so utterly fuming with rage. Like a previous reviewer I was slightly taken aback when asked to pay for my stay upfront on arrival, however it was late and I didn;t want to protest so agreed without comment. We were then told that their key card system was broken and as it... more

The staff was very helpful and friendly. The place is super clean. The location is very good - close to Earl's Court underground train station and shopping on High Street Kensington. Well done ! more

I have stayed at this hotel one's before and find it nice. The bar closes at 23.00 which is kind of early. Make sure to check in early to get a good room, otherwise you risk getting a ground floor room, although they are nice when facing back jard. The room lock did not work properly, but this was a... more

I've stayed in this hotel maybe 20 times in the past three years and have always come back because the service was excellent, the rooms were nice and the location was convenient to my office. While there were aspects of the hotel that I did not like, but overall my experiences were good and this had been my hotel of... more

I stayed in the Rockwell for four nights during the June heatwave. With its highly effective air conditioning system and al fresco breakfasts, it was the ideal hotel in which to acclimatise to the hot weather. There's a choice of either continental or English breakfast and the food is simple and tasty. There's a walled garden/patio area and I relaxed... more
