About this property

Centrally situated in London's South Kensington district, The Rockwell offers cutting-edge design, free WiFi, and modern English cuisine in the stylish garden restaurant. This sophisticated boutique hotel is a 5-minute stroll from Earl's Court Tube Station.

Individually designed with a contemporary style, each air-conditioned room features a floor-to-ceiling Victorian window, a flat-screen TV with BT sports channels, bespoke oak furniture, and a mini bar. The en-suite bathrooms have bathrobes and White Company toiletries.

With French windows overlooking the landscaped garden, the intimate Rockwell Dining Room offers a modern take on traditional British dishes. An extensive wine list is also available. During the warmer months, guests can dine in the south-facing walled garden which features oversized plant pots.

Many public areas of the building retain original features, including wrought-iron banisters and Victorian mosaic flooring. Ideal for exploring London, the luxurious Rockwell is a 10-minute walk from Cromwell Road's popular museums, such as the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum. Harrods department store is a 15-minute walk away. There is a bus stop outside the property, being serviced by the 74 bus.

+ Comfortable bed - spring mattress but more towards hard than soft; room with blackout blinds and very quiet despite opposite to main road, room spacious enough with a small sofa.
− Small shower cubicle (I'm 6'6" and one of my shoulders had to be outside the cubicle); some details lacked attention - for instance a very worn out bathroom mat, more like a rag than a mat.

+ Walking into the hotel was a lovely surprise. It was a beautiful entrance and reception area. The staff were welcoming. The best surprise was my room, it was fabulous, floor to ceiling window overlooking the front with the best soundproofing ever. There was a mezzanine floor with a sitting room. Everything was clean and fresh. I felt safe and comfortable. Only a five minute walk to Earls Court tube. I didn't have breakfast as I had to leave early but next time I will.
− Nothing it was lovely.
