Staying at The Rookery was an incredible experience. The rooms were one of the nicest I have ever stayed in, incredibly spacious with lovely furnishings, and a gorgeous four-poster bed. The service was overall helpful and a pleasure to deal with, although there were some instances of rudeness. The location was amazing, right by beautiful Smithfield market with easy access to Farringdon metro station and other key London landmarks. The dining experience was amazing, especially in the conservatory, offering a delicious menu. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay truly enjoyable.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience at this hotel! The rooms were absolutely gorgeous, and I loved spending my mornings just admiring all the little details, especially the charismatic bathtub. The bathroom was classy, stylish, and truly memorable. However, the price could be a bit steep for some travelers, but the value for money is definitely there.

My stay at this hotel was truly enjoyable. The split-level room with the bathroom downstairs was unique, and I loved the cozy bar area that felt like a living room. Being surrounded by great restaurants and pubs was a major plus. However, the traditional room layout may not be to everyone's taste.
