The Rookery

I love the old charm with the modern amenities. It’s just beautiful and I felt like I was a guest in another era. The bed was just amazing.. I slept like a kitten,. The food is amazing and the presentation stunning. Location is perfect for my needs. Staff are friendly and helpful.

A Love Letter to The Rookery In Clerkenwell’s quiet, cobbled grace, We found a most enchanting place— Where time stood still, and charm ran deep, And history whispered us to sleep. The Rookery, with its stately air, Wove elegance through every stair. Each room a tale, each nook a dream, Bathed in a warm, nostalgic gleam. The staff—oh, what a gracious crew! With every smile, their kindness grew. Attentive hearts and thoughtful ways Lit up our London night and day. We wandered halls of oak and gold, Where stories of the past unfold. A quintessential British stay— Refined, romantic, tucked away. So here’s our thanks, both deep and true, To all who made our dream come through. The Rookery—forever dear— A blessing to us, that much is clear.

We booked The Rookery as a treat for my 40th birthday weekend. It had the intimacy of a large house but the benefits of a hotel. The staff were all so lovely and welcoming, the layout quirky like being in old London. We LOVED the gin bar and honesty style, so you could make a drink whenever you wanted just write it down. The bed was really comfy and the room so spacious. I also loved the TV being hidden behind the mirror over the fireplace! Baghera the cat was an absolute highlight too.

Intriguing property, beautifully furnished, fantastic location. Service was fast and efficient. Windows could be opened.

Everything. The history, the comfort, the service, and the overall feel of the hotel. I particularly enjoyed breakfast being delivered to the room each morning (small note here, the breakfast wasn't included in the cost of the room but was very reasonably priced). The shared guest areas were very well presented and comfortable. Other guests must have thought so too. There was always someone about enjoying breakfast, afternoon tea, or just an evening drink. Finally, the hotel cat was a lovely surprise. She was very friendly and gave the hotel a real homely feel.
