Good stay
The hotel is comfortable and located nicely near Farringdon station and some fun shops. It is historic and probably more suited for leisure travel than my business trip. Regardless, I was very impressed with the attentiveness and friendliness of the staff.

This was my second stay at The Rookery, The entire place, rooms included are beautiful. The room service and food were was very good. The staff were excellent! We had a cell phone and credit card issue and had to tie their desk phone up for awhile. They could not have been friendlier or more accommodating. This is a quiet neighborhood with the underground very close by which is great. I highly recommend Thr Rookery!

This is a charming hotel, although it feels a bit tired. Room was overly warm and could not cool it down, even though it was not hot outside. Bathroom lacked outlets. Breakfast menu was uninspiring. Location is good with easy access to transportation. Area is a bit dead on the weekends but during the week there are multiple restaurant choices close by.
