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

"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."

"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
