Michelin Guide
"Two Victorian houses with open, modern lobby and secluded, south-facing garden terrace. Bedrooms come in bold, warm colours; 'Garden Rooms' have their own patios."
Frommer's
"Proof that London high style doesn't always come with a high price tag... All are bright and airy with large windows and simple lines, but we prefer the garden units with their own private patios."

"Outside, there's little to distinguish this white stucco Victorian from the many downscale hotels along this none-too-beautiful stretch of Cromwell Road, but inside, it's instant cheer."
Fodor's
"Despite being on the notoriously traffic-clogged Cromwell Road, this excellent little place is one of the best boutique hotels in this part of London."

"With an understated-cool design ethos, things are muted, dapper and more than a tad minimalist at 'budget boutique' 40-room Rockwell."

"Bedrooms are now fresh and uncluttered and the atmosphere less starchy. The basement restaurant offers a modern menu, with dishes that are original in look and elaborate in construction."
Frommer's
"Sitting in the cozy bar at Dukes, with barman Alessandro mixing a martini while the gas lamps splutter into life in the courtyard outside, is one of the quintessential London experiences."
