The room was as described and as the pictures, so met our expectation. The layout and amenities in the room were spacious, but it could do with an iron for those traveling from further away. The duvet and pillows are down which though luxurious, is a problem for allergies and the staff and housekeeping changed them for us, which was very helpful, and great service.

We had booked two rooms on the 2nd floor. Nice big rooms. A little noisy, because of the traffic. The air con was on in the hall, cooling it down to a chilly temperature, while in the bathrooms in the room, the heating was on. Not very environmentally conscious.

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.
