Z Hotel Shoreditch

In a cookie-and-milk-coloured converted office building, the Z Hotel Shoreditch has everything you need and none of the costly extras you can do without. Rooms are functional and minimalist (neutral tones and pale wood panels) but high-end where it matters, with thick cushy beds and slick Samsung HDTVs, plus the optional breakfast is affordable and available to go. Built in the new Bower area of Old Street, it is situated in a creative hub of quirky art galleries, trendy cafés perfect for people-watching and atmospheric speakeasies, such as cocktail bar Nightjar. Rooms range from doubles to family size, along with several accessible options.
