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."
