Great hotel ,
Benoit, 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.

Staff was excellent. Rooms were clean and nice.
Cristian, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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

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.
Andy, 1-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

6/10 Good

Good for a short stay. Staff were really nice but the small is small.
Stamatina, 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

10/10 Exceptional

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

8/10 Very good

Generally ok. Although Bar was under stocked, breakfast was average and my room was directly next to the lift so noisy very early on a Sunday morning! Bed was super comfy though!

Michael, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great Stay

I really enjoyed my stay. The room was quite large by London standards for a good price. Earl’s Court has a lot of restaurants with food from around the world and the Tube was convenient. If you are a Chelsea fan going to the Bridge…this hotel is perfect.
Kristina, 2-night trip
