No complaints. We had a great time in London and the staff was great. It may be normal for European hotels but the room was extremely small. The bed touches the wall on 3 sides and the bathroom is not a separate room. It’s just separated by a piece of frosted glass. If all you’re going to do is sleep there, it’s not an issue. We left early in the morning and stayed out til we went to bed. I would not stay there again only because the rooms were not adequately sized for adult travelers. It’s smaller than a college dorm room.

Stickers from previous guests in the room showing it hadn’t been cleaned properly, reception staff that were very unhelpful - google it - when asking for help and room next to a cleaning cupboard that kept being banged so woke us up in the morning.

Great place to stay

Great hotel, there are lots of convinient stores around the hotel, super safe area (very close to Covent Garden) staff really great, B-fast is paying, better pay it at check in because they give little discount at that time. Close to a Metro station also.

The hotel was very well located, the room was clean, and the air con was great. The downsides were the confusing directions to the lift, the weird springy spongey floor in the room (perhaps due to the shower room?), and the uncomfortable size of the teeny room considering the price.

Excellent location and the free wine and cheese was an awesome perk. The room had a pretty cool layout. However, very, very small. Booked for myself and my wife. The room is best for just one person. It's a really small room. Also, no space at all to put anything. A shelf would have been appreciated.

Fits the bill

This was our first time using a Z hotel for a last minute trip to London. Hotels in the city are so expensive but this one came up at a good price. I was a little skeptical but booked it anyway. The room was tiny but clean, modern, had a good shower and a comfortable bed, perfect for a short trip. If you plan to spend a lot of time in your room, then Z hotels are not for you, however, if like us you just need somewhere clean to get a good night sleep, then you will not regret staying in one.
