Time Out
"The public spaces are a delight, with Kemp’s trademark combination of contemporary arty surprises... and impossible-to-leave, bright, plump, floral sofas." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"A boutique addition to the West End’s luxury hotels, the Haymarket has subtly colorful, very well-equipped rooms and suites designed with panache."
Star Service
"In the heart of London's West End, just off the Haymarket and a few minutes' walk from Piccadilly and Trafalgar Square, it is adjacent to the Haymarket Theater and very close to the National Gallery." Full review
Gayot
"With the Haymarket Hotel, hoteliers Tim and Kit Kemp continue to corner the boutique hotel market in London."
Travel + Leisure
"Even the Haymarket’s indoor pool lounge is no mere fitness center—its wenge-and-pewter bar, nightclub-caliber sound system, and 300-person capacity are clearly meant for after-hours activities." Full review

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 Telegraph
8.0
"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
