to get started.

Great location with a cool bar, friendly staff and comfortable room.

Wendy, United Kingdom

The breakfast is good value for money and the staff at front desk were very accommodating and helpful.

Sui, Malaysia

My first choice in London - thanks to an extremely accommodating staff and phenomenal drinks at the Zetter Townhouse Bar's mixology extravaganza.

Felix, USA

Funky hotel in a great location walking distance from Farringdon, close to St Paul's and Shoreditch. Free tea and coffee machine on every floor. Modern interior, comfy beds, nice and light with big windows.

Olivia, Jersey

I liked the decor in the hotel, and the bed was really comfortable.

Kim, United Kingdom

Best hotel have used in London to date. Will use again when working there, superb value, clean as a whistle and fantastic staff. could not help enough.

James, United Kingdom

Lovely hotel, very friendly staff, very clean and in our view, excellent value for money when comparing to similar hotels in the area.

Pjw, United Kingdom

The rooms are quite small by normal standards (maybe not for London) but they are very high spec and modern and perhaps the best shower we have ever had!!!! The adjacent area was pleasant in the sunshine but limited. The decor is modern and includes some coloured lighting which may be a personal taste. Bi folding shutters and internal glazing does help keep out the light and street noise.

Drastic, United Kingdom

The hotel was gorgeous and its location for us was perfect. However, service was slow and there were a few mix-ups with billing that had to be sorted out. We would definitely return though. Overall a very pleasant experience

Sally, United Kingdom

Staff friendly at front of house. Rooms great. Plenty of water in rooms and tea and coffee. Would use hotel again.

An inside look at The Zetter Hotel

Opened in March 2004, The Zetter is the brainchild of fellow restaurateurs Michael Benyan and Mark Sainsbury. Having worked together previously on another Clerkenwell stalwart - the highly acclaimed Moro restaurant - 2001 saw them join forces again to buy an old Victorian warehouse building in the heart of the neighbourhood, and embark upon a massive hotel renovation project. Named The Zetter, as it was once home to the football pools company of the same name, the newly transformed 59-room boutique hotel and restaurant opened three years’ on to instant acclaim. Praised by The Times, Time Out and Wallpaper* among others, The Zetter was also voted one of the world’s ’50 coolest hotels’ by industry bible Conde Nast Traveller.

눉The beds and pillows could have been firmer as the extra double felt like it might have two singles joined together and seemed to sink in the centre.
눇The breakfast is good value for money and the staff at front desk were very accommodating and helpful.

눉The room was really hot - the aircon turned off every 5 minutes and had a set minimum of 19 degrees which it definitely wasn't reaching. We spoke to the staff but they weren't able to get it to stay on. Luckily it wasn't too hot outside so we could open the window.

눉The location is a tricky one if you don't know London or are familiar with the tube. The nearest tube is Farringdon Road but getting onto connecting services such as the Hammersmith & city or circle lines can be awkward when carrying luggage. Coffee & tea making facilities are on the landing and did create an awkward moment in dressing gowns ..
눇The rooms are quite small by normal standards (maybe not for London) but they are very high spec and modern and perhaps the best shower we have ever had!!!! The adjacent area was pleasant in the sunshine but limited. The decor is modern and includes some coloured lighting which may be a personal taste.
