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.

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.

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.

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.

The ac was non functioning and the lack of a window meant for an uncomfortable sleep

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Z Hotel was a perfect 2 day stay in London. My goal was to see great art and get a feel for Bankside. Within walking distance was Tate Modern, Somerset House, Bankside Gallery, Globe Theater, Covent Garden, and West End theaters.
The hotel staff were super friendly and accommodating. The room was small with no window but it was clean and well designed. Definitely only room for one person. The little cafe was a bonus for an early cup of tea and a late night glass of wine.

Clean and efficient. Small frontage to property but reception was efficient and the room although small, was well maintained (it looked very new). Queen bed was against a wall- not ideal if there are two of you but good as a solo traveller. Offered complimentary glass of wine and cheese. Recommended

Had an excellent stay at the Z hotel City. The staff are super friendly and helpful. We arrived early than check in time however our room was ready so they allocated the keys. Modular compact room with everything you need. Hot shower, lovely queen size bed and pillows, duvet. Free tea, coffee, shower gel, shampoo. Good quality towels. The room had air conditioning, and also super quiet. We had a room with a window with a nice view. We didn't book breakfast however it did look really good value for money, we had a speciality croissant with coffee which was really good. Thank you for holding our bags in our 2nd day so we could site see after we had checked out. All in all no complaints, would definitely recommend and will definitely be back. 5 stars from me.

Very compact room, but works. Clean and comfy.
Only little thing is air con could be allowed to go down to a lower temp as it got super hot. Only could go down to 16 degrees and the fan made noises. Overall for the price point it's very solid.

Quite a comfortable, cost-effective stay in a convenient, agreeable part of London. My room was small but had been thoughtfully kitted out with everything I needed. Might be a bit tight with two, though. Bed a bit firm but I slept well. They are still using individual packs of toiletries: nowadays I really prefer dispensers fixed to the wall. Breakfast was OK, though nothing to write home about. The little cafe-restaurant was quite crowded - not helped by a member of staff blocking one table apparently working out duty rosters etc..
Quite a nice, basic hotel: I would (shall!) return.

The air conditioning in the room was not working and the room temperature was extremely hot. I was given an alternative room which due to its location in the building was not quite so warm, but again the air conditioning was not working. I again reported the malfunction and went out. On my return the solution had been to open the only window.
I pre booked breakfast which is cheaper than on the day and in the morning it was not showing as having been booked. The member of staff indicated it would be full price. In addition, there was no coffee at breakfast as the machine wasn’t working and no alternative.
