The Zetter Clerkenwell

What guests think

At The Zetter Clerkenwell, travellers highlight a homely, quirky boutique vibe, exceptionally friendly staff, and a convenient Clerkenwell location near Farringdon and transport, creating a relaxed base that feels welcoming for city breaks and special occasions.

Rooms are comfortable but some are small, with reports of compact beds and limited space. Food and cocktails get praise, though breakfast quality and service are inconsistent, with mentions of limited buffet items and occasional cold dishes. A few guests also report on-demand housekeeping, billing errors, and maintenance issues like a boiler outage. Best suited to travellers who value distinctive style over extensive facilities or large rooms.

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.

Second time I stayed and second time they charged me twice. No hot water as the boiler had packed up was not great but in fairness a one off. The breakfast can only be described as poor and limited for the money they charge.
