Highly recommended hotel in a great central location. Our room was cool, with everything we needed. It was lovely to have fresh coffee when we wanted it and the staff could not have been more helpful. We did not have chance to visit the bar or restaurant but we had been recommended by friends to try the cocktails there! The... More

I have mixed feelings about this hotel: nothing wrong to point out, but nothing really extraordinary either... This hotel is centrally located, but very quiet. I stayed in the townhouse, which is tucked away on a square off the main road. There is a pub on the groundfloor, where the reception is also located. The staff was polite and professional.... More

The Zetter Hotel is Innovative, cool and spotlessly clean. It has a perfect location in the heart of the city but at the same time is surprisingly quiet. The staff go above and beyond the realms of excellent service. The hotels restaurant bistro Bruno Loubet is a destination restaurant in itself and the menu exciting. We stayed for pleasure but...

The townhouse building is tucked away on a square off the main road and surrounded by a great places to eat just steps away. You enter through a small English pub that is cleverly designed to look steeped in a hundred years of charm. It's not a big space and the deluxe room we had was also smallish but with... More

I'm a a frequent London Travler and I've never find such charming hotel for such "low" price. 1st time at the Zetter, and the crew was very friendly/welcoming but professional. When i discover my Studio Room (Top floor studios with patios and city views), I was impressed. The Patio could have been better, but once again for such a low... More

A really interesting and unique hotel in a great part of London. We got upgraded on arrival to a suite which initially was great. unfortunately, the room was at the front of the hotel and the noise from smokers standing outside the front door, passers by and delivery vehicles made it impossible to get a decent night's sleep. Good breakfast... More

The Zetter is different, a lot of interior design effort and worth checking out on their website. it has great staff and a fab in-house restaurant in the newly refurbed warehouse. across the road are even quirkier townhouses but i decided on the new rooms. i upgraded to the 5th floor for a bath and more space, but the top...

Funky stylish fun place to stay and best I have found in this nabe. Great staff, well appointed rooms as noted but many are smallish. Two folding bikes for use, free wifi, reasonable price for London. Perfect if you need to be in this area.

This was my first time at the Zetter let alone the Zetter Townhouse. I had no expectations but loved the friendly service and was greet by Rihanna who very kindly checked me in. Though I only stayed one night (and on business) after a long day I loved the fact you felt you walked into a 'home from home' atmosphere.... More

Stayed in the Townhouse on the square. Lobby, Lounge/Bar are very nice - comfortable and of the moment. Room was great - not very big, but well appointed, comfortable and tongue-in-cheek chic. Service on arrival was great. We were greeted and shown to room by friendly and informative man on staff. The only reason I give 3 stars instead of... More
