Late notice business booking for £90 using Agoda. Staff were efficient, helpful and super friendly. Extremely central location, and was allowed a very early check-in (greatly appreciated after a long flight!).Very small rooms like all Z hotels, but well appointed, with clean bedding and an amazing shower. The restaurant even had free wine and cheese. 10/10!

A perfect, minimalist hotel for a solo traveler! The reason I booked this hotel was because I wanted to be close to the theater I was flying halfway across the world to go to a show to. …

For your money you get the smallest hotel room I’ve ever seen. (Mine had a structural support column in the middle of the already tiny room.)That being said, the staff were helpful, the room was clean and modern with AC, no windows meant no outside noise at all and the price is very fair for the location. As a bed to crash in for a night after going out it fit the bill, Wouldn’t want to stay for longer.

The best hotel for the price per night in London ! Me and my girlfriend stayed there for 5 nights for her birthday and It was the best experience ever. The hotel is literally in the best place and most central place, the people who work there are kind and are always there if you need any help. The rooms are cozy, very clean and you don’t feel like there isn’t enough space. Also the guy who was at the reception gave us an upgrade, after he understood that it’s a trip for my girlfriend’s birthday, he gave us a room with a window that usually would have costed us 130£ more. We are definitely coming back. Thank you Z hotels !

Great hotel for a short break in London. It’s in the heart of the theatre and tourist districts. The rooms were a bit tight, but very clean and everything worked. The room was very quiet. It was very warm outside on our visit and our a/c marginal, but we slept comfortably anyway. It’s not a five-star hotel, but it is good value for the price, especially for the excellent location.

Fantastic!! Great location, very clean & modern room. Comfortable bed, clean bathroom. All round a fantastic hotel. Can’t believe I haven’t discovered it sooner. Perfect for a solo traveler or a couple as well. Bigger room than I was expecting and more comfortable too.

The smallest room I have ever stayed at. The housekeeping is also not doing great job. Many things were missing even like essentials toilet paper. The front desk is very nice. The room is modern but hard to enjoy as how tiny it is. I can’t even open my suitcase and there was a giant column in my room as well. And no windows. The location is excellent though and biggest upside
