Beautiful, historic, and charming place...

Liked: 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.
Disliked: You have to plan accordingly if you would like a dinner ( as it can take up to 1 1/2 hours, but worth the wait.I love the fact that they have 2 small bars which are based on the customer filling out their bar book as to what they imbibed. A rare occurrence in today’s world. It may be difficult for someone with mobility issues to climb the stairs to their room.

Adequate but didn't rate 5...

Liked: Comfort of bed , close to tube station
Disliked: Was told by front desk that we were upgraded but it didn't feel like it. Placed facing street which was noisy. Bathroom fixture are not user friendly. Emphesis on upsell with little to no extras( ie no coffee in reception).

Beautifully furnished and maintained boutique...

Liked: Beautiful period decor, immaculately maintained with an attentive and friendly staff. The breakfast was delicious and elegantly served for us on a tray in the conservatory.
Disliked: If you have mobility issues be sure to request a first floor room as there is no elevator.

Superb

Victorian paradis

Liked: travelling in time, a perfect time capsule bringing you back in Victorian time. in the present, next to Farringdon station, connected to King's Cross St Pancrass, Heathrow (Elisabeth line) and other airports. Walking distance from Covent Garden. Nice bars and restaurants (Cebu is amazing, Gail) next door. Super friendly staff, especially Bangheera the black cat owning the place.

Liked: Great character in a great location.

Stay at the Rookery

Liked: The Rookery is an attractive inner city boutique hotel in Farringdon and is very conveniently located for exploring London’s Westend. The decor is sheik with sympathetically chosen textiles and contemporary colours. The staff are welcoming and provide excellent local knowledge and London tips for guests. We appreciated the deep roll top bath..just the job for soaking away the days travel. All in all pricey but recommended.
Disliked: Our room lacked a convenient power point for easy use of the supplied hairdryer and these days it seems odd that mobile charging is not provided on both sides of the bed. My partner would have preferred the door to have a separate internal deadlock but the building and fittings are from an earlier period.
