Bijou en-suite room but very functional and comfortable. Very clean. All staff friendly and helpful. Very presentable lobby and great location and good price.

This review is absolutely no reflection on the staff as they genuinely did all they could to go above and beyond.
However!
Upon arriving there was no record of the booking and it took an hour to get sorted (again, staff brilliant as it was beyond their control). Had to get Expedia involved to eventually get booker in, only to end up with a room that we hadn’t booked. We had booked a room with a window but ended up in a room without one and one that apparently was warmer than the sun which lead to a distinct lack of sleep. You expect to get a room that you pay for.
The one star is purely for the staff as they deserve some credit for trying to rectify such a shocking experience. I would have given the hotel a zero for everything else.
I hope the staff on the desk are valued as they tried but unfortunately it won’t be somewhere we book 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.
I loved it, it was a very pleasant stay, everything was very clean, excellent service, everything is very close, you have a train and bus that you can go everywhere, I would come back and recommend it. I stayed for 2 nights, but they were very pleasant.
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.
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.
