Fantastic staff, the lovely chap at reception (so sorry didn’t catch his name) is an absolute credit to the place. This was our second stay (the first being when we got married), and it was equally as amazing.
The only thing I didn’t like was checking out and going home! Could’ve happily moved in!

The staff on reception are so kind and hospitable. Very friendly and show you around the THREE lounge areas as well as your room. Streamlined, efficient and just very warm people
There is nothing I didn’t like … I have stayed in many hotels in London and elsewhere. This doesn’t feel like a hotel. It’s beautiful. I ❤️ it!

The whole ambience and unique style. In a great location.
No dislikes as such but the hand held shower mixer was a bit difficult to use without making the bathroom very wet.

Disappointing
The property is very impressive and beautifully cared for. The bed was extremely comfortable!
We felt very let down by our stay at The Rookery. We went for our honeymoon and let them know this beforehand. This isn’t somewhere we could normally afford so we were really treating ourselves to go. We ended up feeling like we had just paid for a nice room, not a hotel experience. We thought with it being a 4 star hotel that we would have at least tea and coffee provided, but this is an extra cost. We thought the staff might be more enthusiastic about our honeymoon and left us a note or card, or made the stay more special. In the end we just felt let down by it all, the room was nice but nothing special, the coffee we paid for wasn’t that great and there was no special attention from staff for us paying a lot of money to be there. We’ve stayed at hotels half the price where even food and alcohol are included (in London too)!

Wonderful
The location is excellent. A great spot to walk anywhere. The room was great. Comfortable bed. Nice bathroom and toiletries. The staff are all very friendly. We were upgraded due to being a quieter couple of days.
The only issue was the lack of coffee facilities in our room.

Very good location, right next to Farringdon station and walking distance from the Barbican, Brick Lane and St Paul’s.
Although the hotel is charming, in the end the rooms are small, hot and not very comfortable.
