"A delightful little hideaway in trendy Clerkenwell. It’s as charming as can be."
Michelin Guide Michelin Guide
"A row of charmingly restored 18C houses. Wood panelling, stone-flagged flooring, open fires and antique furniture."

"Occupying six Georgian houses and stores... this Dickensian hideaway retains many original features, such as flagstone floors in the hall and ceiling beams in some of the rooms."

Frommer's Frommer's
"Quirky, eccentric, and laden with a sense of the antique, the Rookery is a great choice for travelers who want a hotel with the atmosphere of Dickens' or Dr. Johnson's London." Full review
