Rough Guide "A swish hotel on a secluded City street near the Tower of London... service is superb."
Lonely Planet "Business-focussed but close enough to the Tower to hear the heads roll, the Apex offers particularly enticing weekend rates, a gym, huge TVs, free wi-fi and a rubber ducky in every room." Full review

Rough Guide "A fixture on Clerkenwell’s laidback hipster scene. Rooms are simple but bold, with colourful panache and lots of eco touches."
Michelin Guide "A trendy and discreet converted 19C warehouse with well-equipped bedrooms that come with pleasant touches, such as Penguin paperbacks."
Frommer's "It was only a matter of time before a hotel blended the edgy Shoreditch scene with the creature comforts demanded by City types." Full review

Ask for a room at the rear of the hotel -- they back onto a quiet square.
Concierge "Almost best of all, the rates are (for London) way low."
Fodor's "The dizzying five-story atrium, Art Deco staircase, and slick European restaurant hint at the delights to come in this converted warehouse." Full review
Lonely Planet "The Zetter comprises two quite different properties, both exemplary in their execution." Full review
Time Out "Zetter is a fun, laid-back, modern hotel with some interesting design notes." Full review
DK Eyewitness "In an area known for its loft apartments, this is a loft hotel in a 19th-century warehouse."
Condé Nast Traveler99.6
"This Victorian warehouse turned 59-room hotel on London’s heavily trafficked Clerkenwell Road is missing nary a detail of what constitutes a cutting-edge big-city boutique hotel." Full review
Gayot "This Clerkenwell lodging goes for ultrahip with its Champagne-and-camera-stocked vending machine, hot water bottles, second hand books and Scandinavian/industrial style."
