A really special place to stay. Staff were all amazing, very attentive in a non obtrusive way. Rooms are very comfortable and the decor across the hotel is eclectic and interesting.
Having stayed in many London hotels I think we may have found our 'nest'.
Highly recommended.

Wonderful boutique hotel tucked away in a trendy part of London but much quieter than nearby Shoreditch for those who want a bit of privacy. Decor is very much modern boutique hotel, comfortable in a kind of 'minor country house' way but may be a bit busy for some tastes. Rooms are beautifully appointed with very good facilities; the airconditioning in particular is very effective. The staff couldn't be more helpful, especially the bar staff. The only slight criticism is that the main bar - a comfortable area to chill, drink or work - is not airconditioned, so was too warm for comfort during my stay. Would recommend, especially if you can get a deal.

The AC system was not working in our first room and we had to downgrade to get a smaller room that had AC. Heat wave in London did not help. Interesting that front desk person was located in a sister hotel across the street, so had to wait for them to come over to check in and then check out.

Our flight was late and we checked10:00 pm, so might be much better if earlier. Check in guy was dismissive, not helpful, just said kitchen was closed and bar was closing. We stayed 3 nights and only found out this morning that a light breakfast was included, and were shown around the hotel by a much nicer employee. The neighborhood is dead after dark but we enjoyed the area. Our room was tiny, lights burned out, safe didn’t work and noisy with window open (which you must as there is no air). We did find a terrific Indian restaurant nearby, Tiffin cafe.

The Zetter was wonderful! The staff were extremely attentive. The rooms are large for London (sitting area and very large bathroom). The lobby/lounge area was amazing, especially the fireplace. The neighborhood was safe and clean and the Farringdon underground station is a five minute walk. The food at the Zetter is first-rate and there are several good restaurants in the neighborhood. We will definitely stay again.

Funky hotel

The hotel is very eclectic and fun, the room was small but with a four poster bed and the shower was excellent - really powerful. It was a shame that scaffolding was up but the hotel had told us prior to us arriving and there was no noise. Location is good too. The only downside was breakfast. The buffet selection was very poor with nothing being replenished. The cooked order was good but not what we’d actually ordered. We didn’t flag it and just ate what arrived as it had taken a while. So to sum up, a small boutique hotel with funky furnishings in a good location, just breakfast that we felt was below par.

OK but disappointing service.

To save money, room cleaning is ‘on demand’. So if you’re staying more than one night make sure you pack your own shower gel and shampoo unless you want to call reception to ask for more every day.

Breakfast service was confusing and not friendly.

It could easily be much better if they put some thought into the customer experience and adopted a customer centric attitude.

Quirky, lovely, clean and lux. The staff was helpful and tried hard to help us with our plans. They were attentive and fun. I was really happy to be able to request gluten-free bread. The bed was comfortable and the sheets incredibly soft. The suite had an amazing tub for a good soak. And I loved that the suite had a radio in the bathroom and a Sonos system in the living area for rocking out. Large size REN Toiletries was something that made me feel pampered. My only complaint was the street noise. With single pane glass, I could hear every conversation on the street and every tool dropping at a nearby construction site. In fact, I thought the window was open to have heard so much! Hopefully the Townhouse suite can get that window makeover, and I would definitely stay again!

They are all so nice and accommodating.
However - there is no bath (as listed in the description) it is extremely noisy if your room is facing the front of the hotel.
There is no proper coffee in the room...it's quite dark in the room...it's also a bit cold and the air control in the room does not work.
