Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Zedwell Piccadilly Circus impresses many with its prime location, steps away from the Piccadilly tube station and offering easy access to attractions and dining. Guests frequently mention the surprisingly quiet and comfortable rooms, which provide a secure and restful environment despite the central setting, although some have noted the absence of windows in many rooms. The on-site cafe and available amenities like the iron and beauty rooms are appreciated, making it a good value for money.

basic stay, some issues

lack of windowsextra charges
The lack of windows. It really impacted my sense of time. also, i found it odd that there were extra charges for things like a hairdryer. it felt a bit cheap, especially considering the price i paid. the air conditioning was also tricky. i couldn't seem to regulate it properly. the temperature fluctuated a lot.

Charmed by the central location

perfect locationcooling air conditioninggreat showerinconvenient hairdryer
The hotel's location was lovely. It was close to the tube. I walked everywhere EASILY. My room had air conditioning, a real plus after a long day. It kept the space cool and refreshing. The shower was also great. It had good pressure and plenty of hot water.
The lack of a hairdryer in the room felt VERY inconvenient. I had to go to a separate area to dry my hair, it was not ideal.

The location was excellent for accessing many attractions. The tube station was just minutes away. The room was clean and quiet. There were plenty of plug sockets available.
The room was small and lacked basic amenities. There was no wardrobe or desk provided. Luggage storage cost extra, at £15 per bag on check-in.
