The Rookery
In de Rookery is een partijtje vrijen onweerstaanbaar! Dit hotel ligt verborgen aan de rand van de zakenwijk van Londen. Zodra u de antieke charme binnenstapt en het hulpvaardige personeel u tegemoet treedt ziet u al waarom The Rookery zo aantrekkelijk is. Gepolijste houten panelen en open haarden geven dit hotel een gezellige sfeer, maar als u op iets pikanters uit bent, reserveer dan het Rook's Nest, waar u een decadent bed wacht dat wordt bewaakt door zwarte engeltjes die ieder een zweep in hun hand houden!

Old London
The Rookery really does feel like part of the Old City of London. Very comfortable rooms with all modern amenities but a lovely Dickensian feel. A great area of London to explore lays to the east of the Rookery's doorstep.

So good I've already stayed there twice
Having lived in London a few years back, on this trip I first tried to find an apart-hotel, but my last minute travel arrangements meant they were all full. So Time Out led me to The Rookery, close-ish to my old flat, and I will be forever grateful.
The hotel blends right into the active and real work-live-play neighborhood of Clerkenwell, just steps from Farringdon tube. You enter through a secure door on Peter's Lane--you must ring the buzzer to be let in, and enter what is, as intended, reminiscent of someone's grand home. The desk clerks are friendly and helpful, leading you past the lounge and honor bar, to a unique room named after one of the building or area's former inhabitants.
We opted for a double superior and were treated to a four poster bed, writing desk, flat screen tv, plush robes, a generous supply of Aveda toiletries, an iPod stereo system and velvet drapes guarding the windows looking out on Cowcross Street. And yes, free internet.
The hotel itself is quiet--more of a business hotel that is starting to see more tourists--only the weekend nights can be loud due to people walking to the tube or gathering after a night of drinking at the Castle or Fabric. Turn the air-con on and it all blends into the night.
You can order room service, breakfast in bed, or our choice on Cowcross Street, head to FARM, opened Feb 09, and get hot porridge and honey and a cup of tea, or to Smith's for a full english, or any other of the many good options nearby.

Superb location, lots of character
Located in one of my favourite London areas, Farringdon/Clerkenwell. A little gem of a hotel. I stay in London frequently but all too often in large identity-less hotels. The Rookery is far from this stereotype.
Decorated with carefully chosen antiques, soft furnishings and wallpaper this place has real character. Lots of history, all rooms are named after residents of these East London terraces of old you can even read their story in your room.
Fantastic roll top bath, perfect for relaxation after a days shopping in the city.
On your doorstep you have some of London's best restaurants and bars and a two minute walk from Farringdon Tube/Rail Station.
What's not to like?
A big thumbs up to The Rookery

James Bond would stay here
You can't help thinking that Ian Flemming would have his uber spy James Bond stay in a joint like this. The hideout is stashed away down a narrow lane behind Cowcross Street, Smithfield, a stone's throw from Farringdon Station and slap bang in the middle of London. It's also just a skip away from St John Restaurant, St Pauls, a very trendy nightclub and a pub straight out of the Clerkenwell Tales by Ackroyd. The hotel is charm and elegance and very very English from the tip of its antique weather cock on the roof to the toes of the excellent staff's highly polished shoes.
The baths are wonderful as are the Greenwood jelly babies in the mini bar. Stay here if you love history and being well cared for and don't want the hassle of having to travel too far to see the sights.

Small, friendly, well located, unusual quaint gem of a hotel
Easy access by tube from Heathrow. Very close to Faringdon tube station. Surrounded by eateries. For breakfast go to Smith's just round the corner and opposite Smithfield market. My hair drier kept switching off after just using for a minute. It was "fixed" then did the same thing again, so don't know if they were using a fuse that was too small. Room was very warm as despite air conditioning, it wasn't working properly. As soon as we mentioned it, we got a stand fan, and the next day it was fixed.
Bed comfortable. Joseph Smith room a very odd shape and narrow stairs down to bathroom and small closet. Unfortunately no place to put your soap when having a shower or bath, so we had to soap up, then throw the soap into the hand basin! Plenty hot water and a good force from the shower. No tea or coffee facilities in room unfortunately. Room and library quite dark so I found it hard to find a decent bit of light in which to read, but other than that it is a fabulous one-of-a-kind hotel and I would definitely stay there again. Almost forgot to mention - it is an incredibly quiet hotel, even at night. No traffic noise at all!
