What guests think
At The Z Hotel Strand, travellers consistently praise the exceptionally central location and friendly, accommodating staff, while noting that rooms are very small and efficiently designed, suiting short stays where space and storage are limited.
Cleanliness is frequently highlighted as excellent. Common drawbacks include beds against walls, minimal privacy from frosted-glass bathrooms, some windowless rooms, and occasional maintenance or comfort issues such as hard mattresses or slow housekeeping. The alleyway entrance can be hard to find and feels less welcoming late at night, though several guests report quiet rooms for the busy area. Best suited to short city trips where location matters most.

This hotel is very nice. It’s small but very clean in a wonderful location. Walking distance to everything. Lots of restaurants around it. The staff are amazing. Their lobby is super cute with bar, wine and with good food choices 24x7, where you can eat anytime. Air conditioning working amazingly while it was freezing in our room. Our room was very small without Window but we didn’t spend much time there. I wish we would have room with Window. Everything was really clean and nice. Customer service is excellent and they suggest lots of great things. I will definitely stay there again!

Booked a room without a window, just on the strength of reviews and the photos online. However, was given an upgrade to a room with a window, so all good. Very strong WiFi, which was really important as I had some business to conduct in the morning. Was offered free wine, but was off out for the evening. Would definitely stay there again. The lift it very slow though!

Loved our stay here. We just wanted a clean and quiet place to lay our head in this area. This hotel was exactly that. Tiny room but had everything we needed for our style of trip. We didn’t want to be in our hotel long. Another win was the free cheese and wine Tuesday evening. It was delicious!

Very clean space, good size for solo travelling, friendly staff. However the hotel is placed up a small alley. When I came back in the evening the gate to the alley was locked and I couldn’t get through it. This meant I needed to go around to the other side of the alley through a a quiet dark alley and behind the rubbish bins. I felt very unsafe as a female solo traveller.

The rooms are pretty small however that’s not the concern. The cleanliness of the room was like 4/10. Dirty bed/pillow sheets. Not so clean towels as well. Had plenty of dark hair on the. A window looking into the wall is basically no windows I feel like that should be specified on the listing. Overall, a very low 3 star. 4.5/10

Room was very clean and location was right in the heart of everything. The room is very small. I would equate it to a boat bunker. It’s unfortunate because they are getting a lot of money for such a small space. Feel cheated.

The rooms are compact, to say the least, but that is the only drawback to this hotel. Even though the rooms are not large, they are well-designed making optimum use of space (get the largest room available). The hotel is well-maintained, and the location could not be better. Steps from Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square, two major tube stations and multiple theatres. Best of all though, is the staff. From the clerks at the front desk to the housekeepers to the baristas, you could not ask for a more attentive, hard-working, and accommodating group. I don’t know if management appreciates how amazing this team is, but they must for they work together like a caring family. You will find more spacious accommodations with fancier accoutrements nearby (The Savoy is a stone’s throw away) but you won’t find a better group of people committed to making your stay as comfortable as possible.

Fantastic location, and much quieter than I expected being right on the Strand. The room was tiny but adequate. The only con is the fully glass bathroom, which does not allow for any privacy if you're travelling with someone else.

Although the room was small and had no window it was ideal for me for the night. The bed was really comfy (although it was against the wall, so if there had been 2 of us one of us would have had to climb over the other one to get out, but as it was just me it was fine) The shower was great as well. Ideal for a few nights stay in London as great location as well

The hotel room was very small. The bed was surrounded by three walls so you had to climb over the other person to get to the other side of the bed if the other person wasn’t up. The shower and bathroom had just a glazed glass wall so if you came with a friend I wouldn’t recommend. The shower water was not very warm at all despite what time you showered. They don’t stock the room with many towels or toilet paper so we had to constantly go ask for more since they only come to clean every two days. The positives- clean, felt safe and good location by covent garden. They also offer free wine and cheese twice a week for guests which was nice

We stayed for 1 night - On arrival early morning the Reception Staff were very professional- friendly and allowed us to drop our luggage off before we could check in. Once we went back later on Check-in was so quick the staff had taken our luggage to our room which was very nice. The Room was ideal for our stay - very clean and facilities were great - we had a good nights sleep (bed was so comfortable). Overall highly recommend this hotel - walking distance to everything we wanted to do. We would stay here again.

Upon my arrival, the young man (Sohaib?) at the reception desk who assisted me was so kind and helpful. They made a room available as soon as they could in advance of check-in time, which was so appreciated after nearly 18 hours of travel. The room was small but very clean; the amenities were a thoughtful touch. The hotel is quiet, which is amazing since it's right off the Strand. It's a wonderful option for solo travelers.

Small but comfortable room. Near 2 rail stations and lots of shops and food. Good breakfast. On the outskirts with homeless sleeping nearby, didn't feel super safe after dark.

Booked a room without a window, just on the strength of reviews and the photos online. However, was given an upgrade to a room with a window, so all good. Very strong WiFi, which was really important as I had some business to conduct in the morning. Was offered free wine, but was off out for the evening. Would definitely stay there again. The lift it very slow though!

Fab hotel. Quick and easy check-in. Room was available early. Was offered free cheese and wine night. Room was clean and well organised. It was compact but had everything we needed and plenty of space for two. FANTASTIC LOCATION! Super quiet.

Its a really clever budget room so central to everything you need. A 5 minute walk from Lion King theatre. However i would pay for a window next time as its stuffy. But very clever use if space. The staff were lovely and helpful. But we got caught in the rain so badly and we just needed to get our clothes off and get in the room and the lady was trying to upsell the breakfast, it just wasnt the time..i had make up streaming down my face, it was that wet. So a bit of understanding would have helped in that moment. The bed was a little hard bit i still managed to sleep.

I needed to come to London to sort out some paperwork due to lost passport. The staff were excellent. The room was compact but impeccable. I like the cafe at the hotel.

Loved our stay here. We just wanted a clean and quiet place to lay our head in this area. This hotel was exactly that. Tiny room but had everything we needed for our style of trip. We didn’t want to be in our hotel long. Another win was the free cheese and wine Tuesday evening. It was delicious!

Great room, great location. AC in rooms. Rooms are small, as expected, but the beds are comfortable and the rooms very clean.

Rooms are very very small. The bed is in a nook so your partner will have to climb over you in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. Don't bother with the breakfast, it is pretty basic and not work the 15. They have a wine and cheese social saturdays and tuesdays from 5-8 which was a nice touch.
