Stayed here on a visit to watch a West End Show in London. Great location, about a 3 Minute Walk from the Dominion Theatre. Staff were lovely and checked us in swiftly.The room was on the first floor, it was snug with a small bathroom surround my mainly opague glass....I did NOT like that at all!The bed was very comfy, not that you can sleep much as it was very noisy from the street below until 4am!!!!We got free wine and cheese as 'Z' members, which was a lovely touch.The breakfast was nice, not a huge variety but was lovely all the same.

You cannot beat the location! Theatres steps away, bar and restaurants with a variety of choices, and historical sites within walking distance. The hotel staff were amazing and very friendly! The room itself was just ok. …

Couples beware.The stars are for the staff. They were fantastic but the rooms the z claims are for 2 are ABSOLUTELY not. The toilet faces the bed and is 2 feet away. It’s separated by thin translucent glass that will not close with a human in the room. There is no room for suitcases. No fridge. No phone. Minimal hanging space.The door keys had to be replaced multiple times. Again the staff was great about it.The noise outside on a weeknight was awful. Rickshaws with blaring music ever 10 road by. Some heavier windows could have fixed this issue.Overall a very disappointing experience for the equivalent of $500 Canadian dollars.

The stars are for the staff alone. They were fantastic and as helpful as they could be. We booked a room for 2 that was barely a room for one. |No phone. No fridge. No place to hang clothes. A tiny storage under the bed. …

I picked this hotel for the location. The rooms are little more than closets with no where to put anything except a tiny cubbie under the bed. You cannot turn around in the bathroom. Most importantly, the hotel has some obvious plumbing issues as my shower didn't drain. Less than 5 minutes of water running and the bottom filled and was flowing into the rest of the tiny space. To complete the shower, I had to keep turning the water off as i washed my hair, then turn it back on to rinse. I mentioned at the front desk and was told someone would come check - I took all of my stuff out of the way and left but no one came. I mentioned it a 2nd time (as I overheard another guest with the same complaint) and it still didn't get taken care of at the time. I was told by one gentleman at the desk that he would find a way to make up for it. Finally, on my last morning, it took longer for the shower to overflow but I still had to hurry or turn the water off at times to allow it to drain. The staff were all quite polite whenever I interacted with them. Definitely not worth the cost. The consolation that was offered was that they made a note so that the next time I stayed with them, they'd make sure the stay was pleasant.

I gave 1 star for the location and 1 star for the staff. They were very kind and willing to help.The rooms are extremely small—about the size of a standard walk-in closet. There’s barely any space to move around, no place for luggage, and no basic amenities like a telephone, minibar, or safe. There’s no closet, and no place to put your clothes—just one hanger over the coffee station, which is neither safe nor comfortable. The bed is right next to the toilet, separated only by glass walls, making it very uncomfortable. We had to leave the room whenever one of us used the bathroom due to the lack of privacy. The shower floods the entire bathroom, making it unusable afterward.I’m surprised they even got a permit from the fire department to sell these as rooms. It feels unsafe and dangerous in case of an emergency, with poor ventilation making the room stuffy within 30 minutes. Unfortunately, the rooms are so small that it’s hard to even call them rooms.I would not stay again or recommend.

I usually stay at a different Z hotel when I visit London and have always enjoyed my stay, so I thought I would give Soho Z hotel a try. The staff in reception and the cafe were professional and welcoming, a real credit to the hotel. The location, close to 'theatre land' was really convenient. However, the single room I had was extremely small and the bed was very hard and uncomfortable. My room room (305) was very noisy and the hotel should consider putting in secondary glazing in those overlooking the busy main road. There were also rumbling noises from the nearby tube station which didn't help matters. There was a gap between the headboard and the bathroom which was too small to be properly cleaned and was full of dust which gave the room a less than fresh smell. The bathroom was very clean.

I had a very pleasant stay at Z Hotel Soho. Of course, it's needless to say that the room was VERY small, but it was expected so I don't consider it as something negative (but you have to be mindful of that before booking, especially if …
