This is the second time that I have spend one night in this Hotel. The first thing i can confirm is that the reception was extremely efficient. Less than 3' for registration etc. etc. I was upgraded automatically to a better room, on the 5th floor with a spectacular terrasse and view over London City. The furniture, bed, environment as...

Its very rare to find a boutique hotel that ticks all the boxes, and this definitely does. The rooms are really funky and functional. The standards are slightly on the small side but have everything you need. There are great little gadgets like iPod docks etc. The rain showers in the bathroom are awesome. The location is great with so... More

We found ourselves in this quirky and friendly hotel as a result of wanting to stay in the Clerkenwell area where our son was working. You would usually find us in the more familiar tourist areas of London. The reception was extremely friendly and helpful and made us feel right at home. It was a surprise to find brown shag... More

Checked into the Zetter for a weekend pre-business meeting layover. Although this trip I was not able to book into a larger room, and was disappointed to not have the extra space, the super helpful staff improved my mood as soon as I checked in. They bent over backwards to make sure I had everything I needed even reminding me... More

We discovered the Zetter by chance as we had a table booked at St John's and wanted to stay nearby. What a fabulous find it turned out to be! It is run by a team of young, attentive, courteous staff who attend to your needs with efficiency and discretion. The rooms are individually designed and spotless, with quality fixtures and... More

We stayed 2 nights at the Townhouse. It's a lovely place chic and stylish. Rooms are very good, the taste is impeccable. The beds were very comfortable and you can open windows to get a bit of fresh air. Globally we felt at home, The reception guy was very helpful and kind. There was one weak point during the breakfast:... More

The Zetter has had great reviews and so I was expecting something special and it didnt disappoint. Helpful staff, well appointed rooms and a nice restaurant, and in the heart of the stylish Clerkenwell area. Highly recommended. More

We only stayed one night while we were in the area for a wedding but we felt the occasion warranted something a bit special. The reception staff were rather under pressure but courteous and helpful. The rooms were perhaps on the small side for a long stay but suited us well. The beds were incredibly comfortable with crisp white linen.... More

Visiting a hotel chosen by someone else, unless it's someone in whos trust you have total confidence, can be an "interesting" affair. (-but that is what "Trip Advisor" is all about, surely?) I always have complete confidence in Sir Geoff, and he didn't disappoint. Super, unusual, friendly, young hotel (for young people, although we didn't qualify on that front) that... More
