Rough Guide "Gorgeous boutique hotel... housed in a converted French hospital in a characterful location."
Michelin Guide "Popular with those of a theatrical bent. Boldly designed, stylish bedrooms."
Frommer's "The phrase we hear most often from guests who've stayed here is "expensive, but worth it"." Full review
Concierge "Quiet, intimate luxury... whose only extravagance is its uncanny grasp of what its guests want: to be left at peace and in great comfort."
Fodor's "It's little wonder this is now the London home-away-from-home for off-duty celebrities, actors, and style mavens." Full review
Lonely PlanetTop choice
"There’s an excellent bar-restaurant called Brasserie Max just off the lobby, and two stunning guest lounges with fireplaces on the 1st floor that come into their own in the winter." Full review
Time Out "The location and tucked-away screening room of this Firmdale hotel ensure it continues to attract starry customers." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Part of the Firmdale chain, it is decorated in contemporary-English style with antiques and fresh fabrics."
Star Service "Location, service, accommodations and dining converge to create a real gem of a hotel. " Full review
Gayot "A pioneer in a neighborhood area not previously known for hotels, but where they now seem to spring up every day, the Covent Garden Hotel remains a veritable jewel."

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 "Look no further than the Rockwell if you are seeking out cozy lux hotel for your stay in London."
Zagat "Set inside converted townhouses in South Kensington, this high-end boutique hotel offers contemporary rooms and split-level suites."
