LORRAINE, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice rooms (with space), great location. Ok breakfast.
Lindsay, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

good value, good location

I booked a single bed room for 2 nights. The room was quite small, however it was functional and comfortable. Almost like a cruise boat cabin. Although the hotel is on a busy street, my room faced the back so I did not hear much street noise. The location of the hotel is great - close to the tube, shops and restaurants.
lisa, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely stay, I stayed for 2 nights. And loved my stay! Location is perfect for London, very walkable area, tube super close by. And also the bed and room very so nice and cozy. I would stay here next time!

The second time that I have been fortunate to stay here. It was excellent in every way on both occasions, and has a splendid location, with easy access to everywhere a visitor likely to want to go. We will certainly be back!
Nicholas, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice hotel with friendly staff. The room was a bit small, especially if you have luggage. However, the location is great, with easy access to public transportation.
Parimah, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was my third time staying at The Rockwall and all of my experiences have been very positive! As a boutique hotel the singles are small (as others are in the area are as well), but manageable. It's so convenient to the Tube and with many walkable food options and attractions, there is no need to be cooped up in the room.
Kelli, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Will stay here again.

Good value and well situted. Breakfast ok but not hot enough. Staff very friendly
Jonathan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very good stay, staff very polite and helpful, slight issue during check-in as the cleaners had missed the room 🙈, but the staff were very quick to sort it out and a free complimentary breakfast for the trouble. Very nice hotel, great location would definitely stay here again 👍
Georgie, 3-night trip

Gavin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had booked two rooms on the 2nd floor. Nice big rooms. A little noisy, because of the traffic. The air con was on in the hall, cooling it down to a chilly temperature, while in the bathrooms in the room, the heating was on. Not very environmentally conscious.

Really lovely room and a great price for London. The room was spacious for the area and it was in walking distance of tube stations and Hude park
Victoria, 1-night trip

Very nice hotel. Friendly staff and the hotel is clean and comfortable.
Anthony, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fabulous well situated boutique hotel

We loved our stay at the rockwell. The hotel is located a short walk from the local tube station (Earls Court). Although it is on a main road it was quiet inside. The reception area is very boutique and beautiful. The staff were lovely and helpful and our deluxe double room had a mezzanine floor with the bed upstairs, which we loved!
Catherine, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room looked NOTHING like any of the photos, it was very 90s. It smelled strongly of cigarettes, I don’t know if someone had been smoking or if the previous guest was smelly but it was unpleasant. The tv was the smallest tv I’ve seen in living memory.
