This property isn't for everyone; there's no elevator and there was only a shower tub. It's an old building so the floor above squeaked. That being said, the staff is amazingly friendly; very clean; very convenient to the tube; honor drink bar in library; and nice cat Bagheera.

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!
