Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Z Hotel Victoria is frequently praised for its superb location, particularly its proximity to Victoria Station, making it easy to explore London and access transportation to the airport. Guests appreciate the modern feel and cleanliness, as well as practical room design and amenities like Sky TV.
