"This was one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Every member of the staff was extremely welcoming, helpful, and friendly. They were always willing to offer recommendations for restaurants or things to do, and would even help arrange a taxi. When we checked in, we were greeted immediately, offered water, and then promptly shown to our room. The rooms were each unique and cozy, which really encouraged you to enjoy all the different spaces the hotel had to offer to relax. Their menu was also...

Strand Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location for exploring London. Staff were informed and friendly."

The Hoxton Holborn

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely stay for a solo girl, right in this nice location near Dury Lane and Covent Garden and of course the access to the rest of central London. The hotel has a modern clean and cool vibe. A nice bar area which is really relaxed and the rooms are modern, funky, clean and comfortable. It’s just a really nice place to stay"

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

2/10 Terrible

"Room was dirty, so many issues. Had to switch rooms twice. Was given a room with dirty sheets was given another room with Beatles. At least there were no bedbugs was getting emails about being checked out during my stay. If I knew better, I would’ve stayed somewhere better but it was OK for the price. Also, the air-conditioning did not work during the day. Great location, though easy to get to and from Heathrow and anywhere else in the city."

Zedwell Underground Hotel Tottenham Court Road

2/10 Terrible

"Would give 0 if possible. Extremely disappointed with both the customer service and the room itself. Me and my friend booked this hotel months in advance through Hotels.com and received multiple confirmations, including one from Zedwell the day before arrival. We chose the “pay at property” option. When we arrived, the check-in system failed and a rude receptionist told us our booking had been cancelled due to an “invalid payment method” despite no payment ever being attempted and our booking still showing as confirmed on Hotels.com. As two 18-year-old girls in central London at night with nowhere else to stay, we were understandably distressed. Instead of helping, the receptionist repeatedly said it was “not his problem,” claimed we “didn’t understand,” and tried charging us £130 more for the same room. After we refused and sat in the lobby trying to find somewhere else, he suddenly processed the booking at the original price anyway, making the situation feel very suspicious. The room itself was awful for the price — tiny, no surfaces, leaking shower flooding into the bedroom, broken air conditioning stuck at 14°C, and constant loud noise from the tube and pipes all night. Overall, massively overpriced with terrible customer service from one particular staff member who was rude, dismissive, and patronising throughout. Would never return."
