Small but normal for that area of London. Very nice and well maintained and appointed. A lot of nice restaurants around the corner. Served a very nice dinner and breakfast.

Great 2 night stay, great service, clean, tidy and good value. Will definitely add to our shortlist of hotels for our next trip to London.

Donna, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice staff, clean and neat. Expensive for the facility - but maybe due to location.
Chinu, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Staff was wonderful! Room was fine . Neighborhood good and good location. . I only would have liked a different type of shower head. It was not a big problem though and I enjoyed my stay there.

Seyed Mostafa, 1-night trip

8/10 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 Excellent

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

10/10 Excellent

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

Jonathan, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Good for a short stay. Staff were really nice but the small is small.
Stamatina, 1-night trip

8/10 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

10/10 Excellent

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 Excellent

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 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!
Dan, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

We requested a king size bed and they put two beaten twin mattress together.
Dragos, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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

10/10 Excellent
