Rough Guide "A fittingly happening spot in this über-hip neighbourhood, with modern but warm public spaces – all exposed brick and burnished metal – and comfy boutique rooms."
Concierge "For those who thrive on Hoxton's galleries, garment wholesalers, hip clubs, and swank bar-restos... this is a second home."

Avoid the high tourist months of June and July.
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"This is hands down the best hotel deal in London." Full review
Time Out "Famous for its low rates (including some publicity-garnering £1-a-night rooms), the Hoxton deserves credit for many other things." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Hoxton has been one of London’s trendiest areas in the last few years, and it fittingly has the city’s hippest hotel, with small but inventively styled rooms with plenty of technology."
Condé Nast Traveler78.6

"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
