10/10 Excellent

"Great value for money"

The Z Hotel Holborn

"An amazing little hotel on the outskirts of Covent Garden and a shirt walk from Euston station The staff was very welcoming on my arrival and couldn't do enough for me The room itself was different to what I'm use to everything was very modern and close to hand not being up to date on some of the technology I was impressed on how easy it was to use the electric blinds I was impressed with. Overall I could not ask for a great place to stay for access to Covent Garden and Leicester square I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in this area and at a great price to."
