“The Rookery stands apart with its rich antique decor and truly personalized service. Its quiet atmosphere and unique honesty bar concept create an experience more akin to a private club, a welcome change from London's generic hotel scene. I find the central location near Farringdon Station a definite advantage, as is the building's carefully restored period ambiance.”
