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).

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!
