The hotel's rooms were of reasonable size, larger than what we have experienced before, which was a plus. Despite the underground causing a disturbance early in the morning, being small didn't matter much for an overnight business trip.

The hotel offers well-organized and clean rooms, but the lack of soundproofing can be a downside. The staff is accommodating and friendly, although the service may have issues with admitting faults.

The hotel is in a great location, close to Old Street tube station and convenient for an overnight stay in East London. The rooms, although small, were sufficient for a single traveler. The service was welcoming, but there were issues with the broken fan and noise from the corridor. The dining options were nice, but the pricing was slightly inconsistent. Overall, a clean hotel with well-presented rooms and helpful staff.

The hotel was perfect for what we needed - a place to crash after a long weekend. The rooms were clean, and my first impression was very positive even though it was quite small. However, it was not very handy without a cabinet. The location was good, very close to the tube station, and nearby takeaways/mini supermarkets open late, making me feel safe walking back to the hotel at night.

The Z hotel offers stylish and great value for money. The rooms are small but perfectly formed, with a cosy layout. The friendly service goes the extra mile, making you feel truly welcome. The location is fantastic, especially for those who want easy access to the underground. The dining experience is pleasant and offers good value. However, some may find the rooms a bit small for two people and the price slightly expensive for the size.
