Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

When booking this hotel you known it’s not going to be the Ritz so this review is fair for the type of hotel. The location is super central yet the hotel is a zen of calm. It’s a little strange having no windows anywhere but the design works to minimise the effect. Rooms are what you expect, incredibly simple but clean and decent bathroom with toiletries and fresh towels. Decent wifi means you don’t miss a TV and this is not a hotel for lounging, it’s a bed for the night which is comfy enough if a little low to the ground. The gym is an additional fee which the website doesn’t make super clear - £10 a day. Despite the positives, the bedding was bad! Blood stained sheets and bed bugs! I was biten all over during the night and awoke to dozens of red blotches all over my body. It really puts me off returning despite everything else. It is good value for money but you don’t expect bed bugs!

We stayed in a 3 person cocoon for 5 nights, and it was such a good deal. Amazing location, steps away from Piccadilly Circus and a stone’s throw from Regent Street and Chinatown. We walked almost everywhere we wanted to go! The room is super clean but very basic, with no kettle or any other amenities in the room. However, there’s a shared space in the basement for remote working and Beauty Rooms (for hairdryers and better lighting for makeup). Overall, a great deal for the price point and location. 10/10 would definitely stay again the next time I visit London!

Location is the absolute highlight, but inadequate housekeeping significantly detracted from our stay. The hotel boasts an amazing, central location with easy tube access and walking distance to many sites, plus lovely seasonal lighting nearby. The room, while compact, featured comfortable bunk beds that the kids loved and a good shower. Minimum design with simple wooden frame make the room simple. However, service was a major letdown. The setup is windowless and compact, leading to a lack of fresh air. Crucially, housekeeping was almost non-existent. For a six-night stay, we were disappointed that the bathroom—specifically the sink (which drains very slowly) and toilet—was never cleaned, despite an explicit request after the scheduled 'cleaning' night. Occasionally, noisy corridor noises late at night. Overall: Fantastic location and functional beds, but the inconsistent and poor housekeeping (especially the lack of a bathroom clean) is a serious issue.

Room clean and tidy. Enough space for 3 people. Convenient and metro station just near by and go shopping conveniently

It is in an ideal location for theatre’s etc, the room was very clean and minimalist, a bit too minimalist for my liking, there was no bedside table, wardrobe or coffee/tea making equipment, just two peg by the door, I not like having to put my clothes on the floor, the bathroom however was excellent, that was a deal breaker for me, I won’t be returning.
