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 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

Michelin Guide "Quiet yet easily accessible location... comfortable and classically furnished."
Frommer's "Tree-shaded streets and canalside walks characterize pretty Little Venice, and the Colonnade's Victorian charm fits in perfectly." Full review
Concierge "An in-betweeny, non-tourist area is a small price to pay for, well, a small price, and this place delivers quite a bit for the buck."
Lonely Planet "A charmer in lovely Little Venice, the Colonnade is the handsome Victorian structure where Sigmund Freud sheltered after he fled Vienna in June 1938." Full review
Time Out "Housed in an imposingly sited white mansion, the Colonnade has been lushly done up in interior-designer traditional." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Near the picturesque canals of Little Venice, this hotel in two Victorian mansions has been operating since the 1930s."
Gayot "Situated in the quiet residential area of Little Venice... this mid-Victorian townhouse has been totally renovated to create a charming hotel."
Zagat "A resident cat presides over this upscale boutique hotel near Little Venice Gardens, a celebrity magnet set in a Victorian townhouse filled with period details."
Oyster Upscale

Fodor's "This lovely townhouse offers individually styled rooms, some of which are split-level; others have balconies filled with rich brocades, velvets, and antiques." Full review
