Set in central London's fashionable Clerkenwell area, The Rookery offers charming rooms with elegant period furnishings and free WiFi. Only 328 feet from Farringdon Railway Station, the small hotel is also just 5 minutes' walk from Barbican Tube Station. With sumptuous antique furniture and artwork, each individually styled and air-conditioned room offers a flat-screen LCD TV. The luxury private bathrooms boast land&water toiletries and a hairdryer. In the mornings, guests at The Rookery can enjoy breakfast in the elegant conservatory or served to the privacy of the room. Breakfast includes freshly baked croissants. For lunch and evening meals, there is a room service menu as well as a wide range of restaurants and bars in the immediate area. Set within a row of 18th-century houses, The Rookery still retains many original features. Guests can relax in the library or in front of an open fire in the oak-paneled lounge. By Smithfield Market and on the outskirts of London's financial Square Mile, The Rookery is just over 1 mile from South Bank’s Tate Modern gallery. Impressive St. Paul's Cathedral is only half a mile away.

The quiet ambiance was a delight and crisp cotton bed linen lead to a good night's sleep. The front desk staff were attentive without being gushy. The room's minibar was well stocked and the room service food and drink options should meet nearly everyone's needs.
Can't think of a thing I didn't like.

Beautiful and very characterful Georgian building, helpful staff, gorgeous cat, comfy beds, honesty bar. Wonderfully quiet area. Like going back in time.
Bedrooms are very dark - a good reading light would be useful. You have to ask for a kettle etc. Would be nice if they were in every room. Only one very small bottle of water is free - otherwise you have to pay for drinking water.

Beautiful room and amazing bathroom with free standing bath. Incredible breakfast and really friendly staff. Every detail was thought through. We stayed over Christmas
Bathroom was a little smelly- maybe due to old pipes? The smell went once we used the bathroom through. I didn’t raise this was staff as wasn’t a big deal
