Rough Guide Star
"A delightful little hideaway in trendy Clerkenwell. It’s as charming as can be."
Michelin Guide "A row of charmingly restored 18C houses. Wood panelling, stone-flagged flooring, open fires and antique furniture."
Concierge "Don't expect bellhops or a concierge—come here for the excellent location in one of the most evocative, Dickensian parts of London."
Fodor's "An absolutely unique and beautiful 1725 town house, the Rookery is the kind of place where you want to allow quality time to enjoy and soak up the atmosphere." Full review
Time Out "Sister hotel to Hazlitt’s, the Rookery has long been something of a celebrity hideaway deep in Clerkenwell." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Occupying six Georgian houses and stores... this Dickensian hideaway retains many original features, such as flagstone floors in the hall and ceiling beams in some of the rooms."
Gayot "To that end, a row of Georgian houses in a narrow lane have been turned into a little gem of a hotel; it is creaky and quaint and feels as if it's been around forever."
Frommer's "Quirky, eccentric, and laden with a sense of the antique, the Rookery is a great choice for travelers who want a hotel with the atmosphere of Dickens' or Dr. Johnson's London." Full review
Not For Tourists "Think wood fires and honour code open bar. Temptation incarnate."
The Telegraph8.0
"A grown-up boutique hotel on a quiet Smithfield lane, with 33 quirky rooms decked out in 18th-century colours, with antiques, glowing wood and modernised mad plumbing." Full review

DK Eyewitness "It has a traditional British character, and guests have access to the private Cadogan Place gardens and tennis courts across the road."
Star Service "The staff is a bright spot here, and the concierge staff is one of the best in London. " Full review
Gayot "The Cadogan offers tasteful, modern rooms on the first two floors (lots of deep reds and bronzy greens) and classic, British country style on the top three."
Travel + Leisure "Steps from boutiques like Prada, Hermès, and Christian Dior, The Cadogan’s Sloan Street address is convenient for shoppers." Full review
Zagat "This historic Knightsbridge boutique hotel offers individually decorated rooms and suites ranging in style from contemporary to traditional."
Lonely Planet "This 64-room hotel is a wonderful hybrid, with two lower floors that are contemporary in style and the recently refurbished top two floors a wonderful vestige from Edwardian times."
goop "While we love it for the luxurious and cozy rooms, booking at this small, longstanding boutique hotel in Knightsbridge will also grant you access to the lush and private Cadogan Gardens." Full review
Jetsetter "Decadent Edwardian townhouse with a prestigious London address between Knightsbridge and Sloane Square." Full review
