Very friendly staff, clean, elevator in perfect operating condition, which was important since I was on the top (4th) floor with heavy luggage. It was however, abnormally warm during my stay and the built-in air-conditioning and additional portable air conditioner were unable to deal with it effectively.

I would recommend this hotel, good location close to Earl’s Court. It was very quiet with my room facing out the back of the hotel with a big window looking over the rooftops. It felt very safe as a solo traveller and I will definitely stay again when visiting friends.

I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at the Rockwell Hotel. It was far nicer than I'd expected of a London hotel. The reception staff were lovely and upgraded me to one of the Superior Singles on the top floor: a cosy room with a skylight and a light and airy en-suite (also with skylight). The room and bathroom were clean, the bed was comfortable and the reception staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I'll certainly be staying here again next time I visit the area
