We've just had a wonderful stay at this little treasure of a hotel. The room was cosy and beautiful with antique furniture and bags of character. The bed was really comfortable and we didn't hear a thing all night either, from the street below or from other rooms. The service was excellent; reception staff were welcoming and allowed us to check in early and our room service was friendly and efficient. We generally only get to stay in London once a year and this hotel was the best one yet. The only slight niggle is that there was no kettle in the room, so we had to pay for room service when we needed a cuppa, but the coffee and homemade biscuits we had were delicious.

This hotel is on cow cross street adjacent to farringdon tube station, i stayed there for 5 night in March 2012, It's a nice small and very well organized hotel. Hotel entrance look's like an apartment entrance, so i got confused but this is wat u get in business streets of London. There wont' be any big arrival lounge but room was fantastic.

Instead of room numbers, this hotel puts English names to each room. most of the rooms are small but decorated in royal style and i was having feeling of a king in my room. they serve breakfast in the rooms, which was very nice for me.

this hotel is very good for what you pay and you will not be disappointed incase you are not looking for other big facilities in the hotel, likes of swimming pool, clubs e.t.c...

A beautiful hotel with fantastic rooms. We live in London and was taken here as a surprise by my fiancé - he actually proposed to me in our room! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We were upgraded to Sir Walter De Manny on arrival and it couldn't have been more romantic.
I would highly recommend The Rookery and plan on returning soon.

A friend recommended this hotel to me when I was looking for somewhere for myself and my husband to stay on our wedding night after getting married in Islington. I knew when we went to view the place it was perfect. I spent two nights there and my Mum did too - we had one double room and one single. My mother and I ate room service the night before the wedding (yummy) and the hotel accomodated me having my bouquet delivered there the morning of. Myself and my husband delivered ourselves back there in the evening for a drink in the honesty bar before bed and th4en breakfast.

It is utterly unique and excellently located - I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a stay in London away from the usual giant hotel / West End options.

Plus the free standing baths are extraordinary!

Thank you Rookery!
