I can't imagine how you could get more character into a hotel than at The Rookery. Truly a home from home for comfort. Wonderful.

Unique and excellent

Loved the Rookery. Very homely, comfortable, and enjoyed the fact you got Breakfast in bed! Bagheera, the cat, hosted well (although a bit aloof).

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.
