Great affordable hotel in good location!
This hotel was great! It was in a good location with a subway stop very close by. The hotel staff were very kind and welcoming. The room was very clean and had AC, which was very helpful in the summer heat. Definitely recommend!

Bijoux is the word. Small rooms but well appointed; not really for hanging out in/working but perfectly good as a base for other activity.

It was fine. Lovely check in staff. And easy check in. Mastic on window wasn’t great to see - and window cill not very clean. And although room had a window it wasn’t a great set up. Chipped sink. Very noisy throughout the night - not sure if it toilet systems or something else.
Room was snug but knew it would be when booked. Floor was nice n clean

What a tiny gem this Z hotel is. The super compact room is cleverly designed with maximum comfort and convenience. Ask for a back room. I had a huge window overlooking Temple court. Fabulous city of London location on historic Fleet Street. Short stroll to St. Paul’s, Temple Gardens, Thames, Samuel Johnson house and countless other historic sites. A real find, but newbies to London beware that the rooms are super small. Best value for London prices.

Too Small
The double room was just too small for two people. You have a bed, TV & bathroom… which had NO privacy. Had to have one person get ready at a time. There was just Not enough space. AC constantly dripped on the floor. Fire alarm went off at 5:00am in error! Staff was friendly, though. Probably OK for ONE person.

Travelled with my 8year old for a trip to see Matilda. Hotel 15mins walk from Covent Garden with bus stop right outside so great location. Our room was tiny so it’s lucky we only had a sleep in there. It had everything we needed but the bed was very hard and only had feather pillows. Breakfast selection not designed for UK guests.

Spontaneous Day Trip
Short trip to London and was looking for a reasonable stay since London is so expensive. Relatively decent price, very tiny, tiny room. View left something to be desired but it served the purpose of needing a place to sleep and shower for a night. Bed was very firm and the room was pretty hot even with the AC on.

Not for me …
Not for me. I’m 6’1’’ and the bed was to small for me to fit in. Tiny little room. No space. Asked 2 times for towels to be changed and they forget each time. Bought a double gin/tonic a the bar and the barman faked pouring the second once on my drink…

The room was stiflingly hot and the air con just couldn’t cope (I had it set on the lowest setting, helped by one of the staff.) And, with windows which couldn’t open, there was no way of cooling the room, especially as I came back late in the evening. Resulting in a very uncomfortable night.

Area is pretty central, but still a good 15-30 minute walk to pretty much anything. Sheets were stained, room is small. For the price it is not bad. (Besides the stained sheets)

Brill
Hotel Z was one of the few hotels which falls into that category which isn't a £20 a night dormitory or a £150+ expensive hotel. For a very reasonable price, you get a clean, comfy, air conditioned room in a great location.
I arrived 3 hours early and was able to leave my bag at the hotel. When I came back in the evening, someone had taken my bag to my room for me! The room was compact but perfect for me. I think if you were travelling with a lot of luggage and with two people, you might struggle. The shower/bathroom was new and really well put together. Bed was clean and really comfy. The staff were do friendly and super helpful. There was a kettle in the room and taylors of harrogate coffee bags (really appreciated having a nice coffee to start the day!). Breakfast was a tenner, it was fairly simple but what was available was tasty and fresh.

This hotel was a 30 minute walk so when we got off the train we walked and when we were going back home to the train we walked. This hotel is also a 10-15 minute walk from all the landmarks / sightseeing! We got to see all the landmarks in 1 day! There was bars and restaurants around our area, so it was still lively - but lovely and quiet. Our room was a lovely size, we couldn’t have asked for anything more! Absolutely loved the smell of the hotel when we walked in everytime. Staff were amazing and quick to checking us in and out - pizza was great too! Would definitely stay here again.

Average
The room was acceptable, it felt damp which makes sense since there is no extractor in the room. The mattress wasn't great, I could feel the bed slats.
Since there doesn't seem to be an extractor the room steamed up after showers making it impossible for my wife to get ready. Overall it was Ok.
