I wanted to tell you how fantastic the Hotel Guru site is! I booked three weeks of hotels, mostly using a combination of information from your site in conjunction with the red Michelin guide. I have already recommended your site to at least five people! Susan Schaps.

The Rookery

33 rooms from £282 per night

- Doubles from £288 per night. Last minute deals available on request.

“Fashionable Clerkenwell is home to this intimate, period charm City bolthole which prides itself on homely atmosphere across three 18th Century houses. Rooms are full of character, classic antiques, open fires and roll top baths. Breakfast in bed or in the garden is the perfect way to start the day.”

Hotel Overview

“This homely hotel, full of curiosities and flights of fancy in a traffic-free alleyway in fashionable Clerkenwell, was created from a row of listed Georgian cottages. The pretty bedrooms have antique beds with superb mattresses and sheets, and bathrooms with roll-top baths and original brass and copper plumbing. You'll find period shutters, flagstone floors, open fires and a fabulous top floor suite, Rook's Nest. However, there is no restaurant nor much in the way of public areas, so come prepared to eat out.”
