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."
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."

"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."
Travel + Leisure "Owners Michael Benyan and Mark Sainsbury describe their affordable, irreverent spot as “a modern-day urban inn.”" Full review

Michelin Guide "One of London's most famous hotels... retaining an elegant British feel."
Frommer's "Traditionalists opt for the Old Wing but we prefer the New Wing -- it's where the Connaught's mix of the old and new is most successful." Full review
Concierge "For those who enjoy being pampered, the staff-to-guest ratio of 3:1 ensures service with all the trimmings."
Fodor's "A huge favorite of the "we wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else" monied set since its opening in 1917, the Connaught has many dazzlingly modern compliments to its famously historic delights." Full review
Lonely Planet "The Connaught's impeccably decorated rooms offer refined luxury, combining the period features of its 1897 building with restrained contemporary furniture and art." Full review

"The Connaught is just one of a fraternity of clubby old grand hotels, any one of which would be by some distance the top hotel in just about any other town." Full review
Time Out "This isn’t the only hotel in London to provide butlers, but there can’t be many that offer ‘a secured gun cabinet room’ for hunting season." Full review
DK Eyewitness "One of Mayfair’s historic grand hotels, the Connaught has undergone an imaginative renovation, combining its historic features with contemporary gadgets and refined modern design."
Star Service "In the heart of Mayfair, near Grosvenor Square and overlooking Carlos Place, in a historic brick building abloom with flowers, this hotel is as British as the Union Jack." Full review
Gayot "Quintessential Englishness is the signature of this top London hotel."
