The Z Hotel City

“Rooms constantly too cold”

The rooms are always so cold. The air con is constantly set to cool at 18 degrees. Even if I turn up it, by the time I get back on an evening it’s reverted to 18 degrees cool and it hard to then get cosy in bed

“Tiny room but great location”

First of all I paid £66 a night to stay here in a single room without a window. For the amazing location of the hotel that’s a bargain. The room however is bordering on claustrophobic. Seriously.

First of all I paid £66 a night to stay here in a single room without a window. For the amazing location of the hotel that’s a bargain. The room however is bordering on claustrophobic. Seriously. It’s the smallest room I’ve ever stayed in in my life and I’m extremely well traveled. There is literally nowhere to walk around in the room as it’s so tiny.. But the worst part is the toilet situation. The bathroom has a sliding glass door that’s frosted however it’s easily see through. And there are 2 large gaps down each side of the door when it’s closed. People can see fully see you in the bathroom and on the toilet as the toilet is directly in front of the frosted glass door. You’d think that is the worst part but it gets even worse. After using the toilet, you slide open the glass door and if there are any odours in the bathroom they also now in the tiny room. I’ve had bathrooms in some hotels that are bigger than the whole room in this hotel. The room was set up as bunk beds with 2 double beds instead of 2 singles. It sounds large but it wasn’t, it was very small. How the hotel thinks they can get 4 people in that room is beyond me. 2 people is a push but even that would be challenging as the room was so small. Honestly it’s too small for anymore than 1 person. I stayed as a single person and so my privacy didn’t matter as I was on my own however I’d hate to stay in that room with anyone else to be honest. They will know your business (bathroom related) and you’ll end up knowing theirs also. It’s not ideal at all. It’s a very bad layout with a see through sliding glass door that literally doesn’t close properly (huge gaps see photo) and there’s nothing you can do about it. It’s not faulty. It’s just a very bad design. Simply because of these reasons I’ve given the hotel 3 out of 5. Everything else apart from the room and bathroom situation was excellent. Plenty of tea and coffee provided in the room, it was very clean and not having a window wasn’t an issue. The location is brilliant. I won’t be staying there again unless I’m travelling on my own and can get the £66 a night deal again.
