    I loved everything about the property.

    I booked the deluxe double room for a three night holiday at the Zetter Clerkenwell. The charming room was located on the top floor with a nice view through two large windows. The property is set back from the busy street and I was able to sleep with the windows open undisturbed. I enjoyed the fresh coffee and French press the hotel provided. The bathroom had plenty of nice linens and toiletries. The bed and bedding were very comfortable. There is a wardrobe where you can hang and place your clothes. The wifi was good. You do have to walk through the very busy pub in the evening to get back and forth to your room but not an issue. The property is located a short walk from Farringdon transit, which I used several times along with the bus service on Clerkenwell Road. I also walked to Covent Garden (about twenty five minutes). I felt rested and was comfortable during my stay and I love the Clerkenwell location. I will stay at the Zetter Clerkenwell again.

    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.

    Quirky decor and good location

    Sadly we stayed on the Monday and couldn't sample the cocktail 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.

    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.

    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.

    A very homey, and intimate space! Rooms just the right size, and very well located. I’ll definitely stay here again!

    Be aware that a lot of people eateries in the area are closed on weekends as it is a less touristy area.

    Lovely room and bathroom. Quiet in the evening. Good air con. Attentive staff and room service. Bar downstairs was chill with very nice cocktails, as well as some lovely non-alcoholic options.

    Good breakfast in the beautiful and cosy dining room. I stay for 3-5 nights at once, and like to feel at home. This is exactly how the Townhouse feels, with the bespoke furniture and lovely cocktail bar/breakfast room. The location is excellent, walking distance from Farringdon tube station that takes you right into the heart of London.
