ROOMS

  1. What types of rooms do you offer?

    We have Single, Double (no window), Double (with window), Queen (no window), Queen (with window), Accessible rooms and Family Rooms (with Bunk Beds).

  2. How large is a Z bedroom and what is included?

    They are small but perfectly formed, luxury rooms (they are works of genius; you’ll wonder why you’ve ever bothered spending more on space before). The smallest bedrooms start from 8m2 (85ft2). Our typical bedrooms are 10-12m2 (110-130ft2). That’s around half the size of a traditional bedroom.

  3. What will I find in the room?

    A bespoke hand-crafted bed (see naturalmat.co.uk). In-room entertainment (Samsung HDTVs with Sky & BT Sports). An en-suite shower room with complimentary toiletries. Storage under the bed and hanging space. Individual controlled air-conditioning. Free wifi, of course.

  4. Do you provide room service?

    Our Guest Service Assistants can help with irons and ironing boards upon request. For food and drink our cafes are open 24/7 and you are welcome to eat in your rooms.

  5. What won’t I find?

    No phones. No minibars. No safes. (For any valuables, ask reception if they are able to store safely for you). See? Everything and all you need, right where you need it.

  6. What if I want to stay longer than one or two nights? Does Z have larger bedrooms to suit?

    Absolutely. Z Hotels at Gloucester Place offers a Z King and Z Junior Suite with 20-30sq/m (210-320sq/ft). Both have wardrobes. And the Junior Suite has a seating area. Enough space to put your feet up and make yourself at home.

  7. Do any Z rooms have twin beds?

    No twin bedrooms, doubles only.

  8. Which Hotels have family rooms?

    We have family rooms in Shoreditch, City, Covent Garden and Holborn in London and our hotel in Bath.

  9. What if I need a cot or rollaway bed?

    We do have a limited number. Just call us before you book and we’ll see if we can get hold of one for you.

  10. Is every bedroom a room with a view?

    You can admire the city from the majority of Z rooms. But we have some windowless rooms called Z Inside (for example Z Inside Double and Z Inside Queen). They have everything that a standard Z room has, just without the window. And they come at a lower rate to reflect this.

  11. Do you have rooms in the lower ground floor of Z hotels?

    Yes. With the exception of Liverpool, Glasgow and Soho. And all with the same high standards and features you’d expect from Z Hotels.

  12. I’ve read that there’s little privacy between the bedroom and the en-suite shower room. Is that correct?

    A frosted glass partition between the bedroom and shower room gives you an element of privacy.

  13. Do you allow smoking in the rooms?

    No. Rooms and floors are non-smoking, non-vaping and non-e cigs, too. That way, we keep the air fresh for everyone.

  14. Can I open the window in my room?

    We do have hotels with bedrooms where the window does not open at all, and some hotels where the window opens slightly, all in accordance with health and safety guidelines for each city or landmark. For more information please contact the hotel directly. Need to cool off? All rooms come with individually controlled air conditioning.

  15. Do you have any interconnecting rooms?

    No, we don’t. But if you’re travelling with friends and would like to be neighbours, then just ask. If we have availability, we can put you near each other.

  16. Is Wi-Fi available in the rooms and public areas?

    Yes, Wi-Fi is included in every room free of charge.

  17. Is there a fee for using Wi-Fi?

    As above our Wi-Fi is free of charge.

  18. Is there a safe in the room for valuables?

    We do not offer safes in our rooms. Any valuables can be stored safely at Reception for you.
