Quirky decor and good location
Cocktail bar stopped serving cocktails at 11pm but would serve wine, beer or spirits yet a lot of their marketing is focused on their cocktails.
We were disappointed as were looking forward to an Espresso Martini in their lovely lounge bar.

Beautiful building, brilliant rooms
All was good

Nice hotel with a lot of charm. The room was big and well equipped. The bar downstairs offers good cocktails.
Noise could be heard from the neighbours / cleaning team in the corridor; Quite expensive.
4.4
Super location and absolutely lovely place to stay. We were sorry we only had the one night. Loved how much character it had, so much nicer than other city hotels.we loved the shower.
Sadly we stayed on the Monday and couldn't sample the cocktail bar.

Nicest hotel staff I've ever come across - very accommodating, helpful, professional and friendly. Love the decor and our room was fantastic. Peaceful spot in a central location.

The view from the bedroom window
I was over charged on every transaction compared to prices in the menu. There was no mini bar or Coffee cups or ironing facilities, although the booking confirmation listed it.

It’s a beautiful building in a great location. It’s Central London and yet it’s really calm and only a few minutes walk to the tube. Lovely people too, and a good bar.
The only thing I didn’t like was walking between two bar tables to get to the lift. Otherwise, this is lovely place. I’d stay there again.
4.4
A very homey, and intimate space! Rooms just the right size, and very well located. I’ll definitely stay here again!
You many need to be bring ear plugs. not sure if it was just the extra security in the area for design week. But having people conversation for hours on end your side your window was not ideal.
4.4
Ambience, decor, small size. I didn't have breakfast. It was served rather to late for me.
4.4
Reception is in the busy bar area and the hotel has a homely vibe
The bed was quirky, but too quirky for me. No USB charging in the room. Noisy as people left the bar and the aircon/ heating did not work well

I have stayed at both locations and I love the quirky vibe and decor. I love the rooms and especially the bathtub. We were there during a beautiful snow storm and it felt like a fairytale despite the lack of service.
I found the bar staff at both locations super grumpy and unhelpful. This is extremely disappointing because the hotels are otherwise so very charming. The lack of effort in prioritizing the guest experience is the reason I won't stay at either location again. The bar staff all seem like great friends that you are disturbing my making requests (ordering food for example or asking for travel advice). There is little warmth or a feeling of making any extra effort towards hospitality. They also seem to prioritize the crowds visiting for high tea over those actually staying in the hotel. We did have a fire alarm go off very late at night and no hot water in the morning - the hotel compensated for this by offering to comp our extra expenses which was unsolicited and kind.

it was my partners birthday, the staff were so lovely and bought us complimentary drinks on multiple occasions! the hotel itself is amazing, SO quirky and so different to anywhere we’ve stayed before! would 100% recommend if you’re after good service, a new experience and good value in London!

My partner and I have always been big fans of Zetter – our first date was in the bar many years ago. As such, we’ve visited a number of times. We love the rooms and think the hotel as a space is wonderful, but I’m not certain we’ll be staying again. We feel that over time, the hotel has become very stretched from a service point of view (although we fully acknowledge that the industry as a whole is suffering at the moment).
We had a rare, child-free night in London last week and opted to stay here. We went to the theatre and came back to enjoy a few drinks, only to be told at 10:45pm that the bar was closing. The staff were as accommodating as they could be, and we managed to squeeze an extra drink in, but it just doesn’t feel like the indulgent place that it once was where we could escape and be fully looked after.

we liked the fun taxidermy and decor around the entire hotel. the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. drinks at the bar were also amazing! breakfast was great too.
it would have been nice if the room was cleaned while we were there and the trash was taken out.

Quirky and bit different in quiet location
Shower blocked and sink slow to empty

I liked the decor and quirkiness of the rooms. It was more interesting than staying in a standard hotel.
The cocktails were also very delicious.
Some of the seating was too near the lift.
