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.

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 👍

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!

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.

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!
