- More snack availability in the roomsMore higher seats to eat from in the pantry

Great location. Quirky interior that we loved. Lovely boutique hotel. Loved it.

The location, the unique, decor, the staff, the breakfast
I booked the Deluxe Double room at the Zetter Clerkenwell for a weekend London getaway. This was my second stay at this property. I value its location, solitude and comfort. The bed is excellent, the bathroom well equipped with nice linens and I appreciate the French press cafetiere in the room with supplied coffee. The rooms are cozy with good storage for your clothes and suitcases and I also appreciate the real pub experience at the Zetter Clerkenwell; you just walk through the pub to go upstairs to your room - it's like your own private residence. The Zetter Clerkenwell is convenient by foot to central London and if there's a bit of weather, you can use the bus, tube or National Rail. I really enjoyed my stay here.

Beautiful hotel and bar area. Lovely room.
Unfortunately I arrived to check in and there was no record of my booking. Apparently booking.com and zetters system hadn't synced up. Luckily they still had a room so I had to cancel on booking.com and then rebook directly with the hotel and pay again. I was assured I would be refunded the initial payment within 5 working days. They very kindly upgraded us to a larger room and comped breakfast. Unfortunately after 5 days I still hadn't received my refund. After chasing the hotel many many times and having to explain the situation repeatedly to each staff member I was told to call booking.com to see what was going on. I spoke to booking.com who informed me the hotel hadn't responded to their email confirming the cancellation. It finally got sorted but my refund was very late and I had to chase a lot to get it sorted. Not what you want or expect when spending a hefty amount of a hotel room for a special birthday celebration. Unfortunately left with a bitter taste in my mouth. Ho hum.
Nice rustic feel. Well located. Had nice room overlooking the square. Got bigger room for the second stay which would have been nice for the first one.
Varying quality of staff which made it important that you spoke to the right person. Seemed to be lots of staff rotating through the day and as a result the one hand didn’t know what the other was doing.
So quirky and in an amazing location.
No fridge in room, but staff were helpful to store everything in the kitchen for us.
The room was lovely. Downstairs the bar was wonderfully decorated and the cocktails were unique
So much to like. Location: Excellent. Quite a bit of vibe around the area but not roudy or touristy. Excellent access to Farringdon station. Staff: Wonderful. Got us checked in early, and well supplied with tea. Room: Comfortable and quirky. A/C so it was cool, a lift (some of these older places don't have this) and plenty of room. I think we've found our new go to accommodation!
Not much really. I mean I guess guests always would like things to be cheaper!?
Location was goodFree overnight parking behind it
Single glazing - so it was very loud AC was clicked when on so added to the noise Uncomfortable bed Uncomfortable pillows Staff weren’t rude but also weren’t particularly helpful and gave no information about the hotel.
Unusual small characterful and comfortable hotel in a nice location. Very nice and helpful staff. Lovely room, bathroom and toiletries
Not much really.
Lovely decoration in room and restaurant
Staff weren’t very welcoming of hotel guests and seemed to prioritise restaurant customers
Lots of style. Great location. Friendly staff
It’s a little tried. Some plug sockets didn’t work for example. Small room for the price.
comfortable bed, fantastic bed linen and pillows. Very good breakfast.
lighting in bathroom was gloomy. Magnified mirror in the bathroom.
Totally charming unique hotel. Charming, helpful staff. Spotless hotel crammed with period furniture and ornaments which makes a relaxing and intimate change to any corporate hotel chain
Great quirky hotel, they have us a free upgrade, beautiful room and very friendly and helpful staff
