Michelin Guide "Pure white bedrooms with idiosyncratic design touches such as a framed picture ... on the ceiling."
Frommer's "Travelers used to the sleek glitz of Manhattan design hotels will feel at home at the Sanderson." Full review
Time Out "A noughties makeover by Philippe Starck and Denton Corker Marshall Architects turned the Grade II-listed Sanderson building... into a statement hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The Sanderson’s witty decor – red lips sofa and a framed portrait that seems to hang in mid-air – is like a surreal stage set."
Star Service "Inside is an armada of unique, custom designer seating and theatrical lighting. This whimsical hotel may lack the freakish lighting of sibling St. Martins Lane but none of the drama. " Full review
Gayot "With over-the-top interiors designed by Philippe Starck, the property features some pretty extraordinary touches."
Travel + Leisure "Suka, the new Malaysian restaurant on site, was masterminded by New York’s Zak Pelaccio, and the 300-square-foot guest rooms feel surprisingly large." Full review
BlackBook "The 91 rooms have Louis XIV-inspired furniture and no internal walls (i.e., the loos are see-through)."
Zagat "Philippe Starck designed this luxury West End hotel in his signature contemporary style."
Lonely Planet "Liberace meets Philippe Starck in an 18th-century French bordello – and that's just the reception."

"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
