Beautifully old and comfortable hotel with very nice, quiet staff. Our beautiful looking old bathroom didn't work. We had to go in dressing gowns to another room to shower - also had to ask for a discount to compensate for the inconvenience which should have been offered automatically considering the price of the room.

Great atmosphere and beautifully decorated. Great staff. Loved the hotel cat! Front room was very noisy - we stayed on a saturday night and were woken on a number of occasions by wandering groups of noisy revellers who seemed to use St Peter's Lane as an area to hang-out at 4am!

Fantastic location for good restaurants and interesting city walks. Lovely quirky but clean and comfortable rooms. Rooms on the small side but if you travel light its not too much of an issue.

Beautiful hotel. Very nicely decorated room. Excellent staff. Location was great, very short walk to the tube. We had some glue that kept seeping up from the bathroom tiles. Little trickly taking a shower with the handheld shower and no shower curtain.

All rooms and facilities were in great order- but for us the surprise came with how accommodating everyone was with our baby. They provided everything we needed including cot, baby towels, blankets. It was really thoughtful. Room service food was a little disappointing especially for the price.

the staff was amazing, the location is excellent, Loved the Ren products. the bed was very comfortable, the rooms air conditioned and overall the hotel is very cozy, charming and tasteful. I would definitely go back, especially as I discovered how close the diamond district is to The Rookery. while the hotel has free WiFi It would be good if there was also a computer to access for guests who didn't lug their laptop.

This is a beautiful hotel, it was a real treat to stay here. Upon arrival to my room, I discovered a gift basket of 2 bottles of Fleurie, handmade chocolate and luxury crisps. Fabulous comfortable 4 poster bed, with the best of bed linen...a free standing bath, bathrobes supplied.. Breakfast is served in the bedroom, I didn't avail of it but am sure it would have been as good as the surroundings. Overall, I couldn't but recommend The Rookery. It's a hidden gem....!
