Rough Guide
"A consistent winner on the designer hotel scene... the five restaurants and bars keep the place buzzing."

Concierge
"Hyatt Hotels & Resorts rebranded it under their new "big boutique" Andaz label. And big it is, with 267 bedrooms, five restaurants, and four bars, including a pub and Japanese and fish restaurants."
Time Out
"The new approach means out with gimmicky menus, closet-sized minibars and even the lobby reception desk, and in with down-to-earth, well-informed service and eco-friendliness." Full review
DK Eyewitness

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." Full review
Concierge
"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." Full review
Lonely Planet
"With an understated-cool design ethos, things are muted, dapper and more than a tad minimalist at 'budget boutique' 40-room Rockwell." Full review
Time Out
"The Rockwell aims for relaxed contemporary elegance – and succeeds magnificently." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"Housed in a beautifully restored Victorian terrace, The Rockwell is owned by an architect, and it shows in the stunning decor and the glass bridge that links the hotel to its courtyard garden."
Travel + Leisure
"The epitome of understated chic, the Rockwell welcomes guests in a cozy reception lounge outfitted with an elegant library, vibrant flowers and even a kids' playing area." Full review
BlackBook
