Very convenient for The Barbican.
Feels like you’re staying in a 19th century hotel with better facilities!
Delicious breakfast.
No lift- not an issue for us but might have been if more luggage.
The room, Jack Shepherd, didn’t have a shower only a bath.
Bed very comfortable but high!

I don’t like the bathroom format. I prefer the shower. Also, there should be a universal adapter for the outlet of electricity provided.

Beautiful property in an excellent location. Easily accessible from Heathrow. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were helpful and friendly.
Breakfast was served to the room but it might have been nice to have the option of a dining room.

I love the old charm with the modern amenities. It’s just beautiful and I felt like I was a guest in another era. The bed was just amazing.. I slept like a kitten,. The food is amazing and the presentation stunning. Location is perfect for my needs. Staff are friendly and helpful.
You have to plan accordingly if you would like a dinner ( as it can take up to 1 1/2 hours, but worth the wait.
I love the fact that they have 2 small bars which are based on the customer filling out their bar book as to what they imbibed. A rare occurrence in today’s world.
It may be difficult for someone with mobility issues to climb the stairs to their room.

Comfort of bed , close to tube station
Was told by front desk that we were upgraded but it didn't feel like it. Placed facing street which was noisy. Bathroom fixture are not user friendly. Emphesis on upsell with little to no extras( ie no coffee in reception).

Beautiful period decor, immaculately maintained with an attentive and friendly staff. The breakfast was delicious and elegantly served for us on a tray in the conservatory.
If you have mobility issues be sure to request a first floor room as there is no elevator.

travelling in time, a perfect time capsule bringing you back in Victorian time. in the present, next to Farringdon station, connected to King's Cross St Pancrass, Heathrow (Elisabeth line) and other airports. Walking distance from Covent Garden. Nice bars and restaurants (Cebu is amazing, Gail) next door. Super friendly staff, especially Bangheera the black cat owning the place.

The Rookery is an attractive inner city boutique hotel in Farringdon and is very conveniently located for exploring London’s Westend. The decor is sheik with sympathetically chosen textiles and contemporary colours. The staff are welcoming and provide excellent local knowledge and London tips for guests. We appreciated the deep roll top bath..just the job for soaking away the days travel. All in all pricey but recommended.
Our room lacked a convenient power point for easy use of the supplied hairdryer and these days it seems odd that mobile charging is not provided on both sides of the bed. My partner would have preferred the door to have a separate internal deadlock but the building and fittings are from an earlier period.
Thank you for your information!
