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 👍

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!

Rockwell Hotel
The staff were just excellent at the Rockwell. They couldn't be more helpful.
There were a few niggles, the shower was tricky, but sorted the next day. The hairdryer didn't work and was replaced immediately and milk was put in the room.
All in all, great value for money.

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.

Great room let down by DUMB TV
It was great value for money with a great king size bed and outside seating area. Sadly, the SMART TV was not so smart and couldn’t cast either- needs to be updated.

The Rockwell was great, very comfortable & convenient location. Staff was helpful & accommodating. My biggest concern choosing a hotel was the internet, since I had several work calls. The wifi signal was strong & stable and I was able to take all my zoom calls without any issues!

Best Hidden Gem in Kensington
Absolutely loved my room and its quaint little patio. The room and bathroom were huge and well appointed. Perfect location minutes from the tube, in the heart of it all. Staff were friendly and accommodating. This is my new home in London.

We had a great stay at the Rockwell! Lovely property, very clean and comfortable, excellent location right near Earl's Court Road restaurants and tube stop, and also a short walk to Kensington High Street. The back garden is a nice place to sit for a little fresh air.
