The Z Hotel Leicester Square

10/10 Excellent
"We had booked a Club room and didn't realise it came with drinks and food. The food was rudimentary but the drinks were absolutely decent - including the red wine. The room was spotless and has a giant TV but it was so flush against the wall we couldn't use our firestick - it can do Chromecast though so that's fine. The room was looking out at the bust area of the national portrait gallery which is a busy area and it's not an exaggeration to say I couldn't even detect a sound from outside. I don't mean I couldn't hear it, I couldn't detect it - it was weird(and great). I could be looking at a giant truck passing underneath that could only be 25 feet from my ears and it was as though I was watching a TV with the sound on mute. The room was spotless and although the bathroom has frosting it isn't perfect - not an issue for me and the wife, In summary, we will be back as the location and room was spot on for us. All staff we interacted with were high calibre."

"The entrance feels somewhat chaotic as there is a children’s destination at that level with many children unable to distinguish between their surroundings and the hotel reception area. There beds in the rooms are comfortable but a number of items were neglected. Our tv remote never worked in the living room and the phone needed to be changed. Similarly the shower had issues with the shampoo dispenser. The hotel is well located and the door staff are helpful."
