About The Rookery Hotel

Set in central London's fashionable Clerkenwell area, The Rookery offers charming rooms with elegant period furnishings and free WiFi. Only 328 feet from Farringdon Railway Station, the small hotel is also just 5 minutes' walk from Barbican Tube Station. With sumptuous antique furniture and artwork, each individually styled and air-conditioned room offers a flat-screen LCD TV. The luxury private bathrooms boast land&water toiletries and a hairdryer. In the mornings, guests at The Rookery can enjoy breakfast in the elegant conservatory or served to the privacy of the room. Breakfast includes freshly baked croissants. For lunch and evening meals, there is a room service menu as well as a wide range of restaurants and bars in the immediate area. Set within a row of 18th-century houses, The Rookery still retains many original features. Guests can relax in the library or in front of an open fire in the oak-paneled lounge. By Smithfield Market and on the outskirts of London's financial Square Mile, The Rookery is just over 1 mile from South Bank’s Tate Modern gallery. Impressive St. Paul's Cathedral is only half a mile away.

    Location - very close to the tube and therefore the rest of London. Quiet, despite nearby pubs and restaurants. No shower, no lift

    Stunning hotel, very clean and comfortable, service was impeccable, breakfast was delicious, and very convenient location. We booked for our wedding night and were very kindly upgraded too, which we really appreciate. Can’t recommend this place enough! N/a

    Perfect stay! I wish I could have been there forever. The staff were exceptional, carried my heavy luggage and stored it for me on my last day. The rooms were beautifully furnished. Really good location next to a station while also being quiet. Lovely courtyard for the summer. I cannot speak highly enough. I didn't get to see the cat! Haha

    Lovely hotel. Full of character. Beautiful rooms and extraordinary comfortable beds. Staff very helpful

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Beautiful hotel in the Barbican area with individually designed rooms full of character. The staff were fantastic, friendly, helpful and attentive, and they even made a room available for us to take meetings in, which we really appreciated. Great value for the location too. We'd happily stay again. No parking on site, so plan ahead if you're driving. We could also hear our neighbours from upstairs and next door, so the soundproofing isn't the strongest.

    Its location, style and ambience! The lack of a lift! A really minor quibble - the kettle had to be plugged in on the floor as the plug was a different spec to the socket nearest the table.
