The smell in the hotel smelt damp and like rotting flesh. Underground trains noisy. Won’t be staying again.

If travelling alone (and with not too much baggage) then this is a solid potential option if cheaper or at an equivalent price to other hotels in the area. If travelling with other people, then you need to be very comfortable sharing your bathroom habits. And not have any stuff as there's nowhere to put anything.
I stayed in a 'cocoon 2' which is a double room. It's essentially a bed, a space that's about 3 feet wide and a bathroom. And it is one of those dreaded frosted glass wall bathrooms.
The sliding glass door also has a gap around 3 sides, so others in the room can hear and smell everything as well as see your silhouette. For some reason, there's no actual door on the shower so water ends up flooding the entire bathroom and leaking out into the main room underneath the gap unless you do some very careful placement with the small shower mat.
There is no storage space. If you have more than one small suitcase, you will struggle not to be tripping over things.
The room is generally quiet in terms of noise from other guests but you can hear the underground trains constantly, given it's 4 floors underground.
Given the extra charges for things included at other hotels as standard, this can quickly become much less of a budget option than it originally appears. For example, £15 per bag storage fee is ridiculous when other equivalent hotels in the area charge nothing.
I had a very bad experience at this hotel. In the first room, the air was impossible to breathe: there was a strong smell of gas and other unpleasant odors. I reported the issue and asked to change rooms, but the situation did not improve.
They moved me to another room where, unfortunately, a train passing by every two minutes, making it impossible to sleep. Because of this, I only managed to stay one night at the hotel. For the remaining nights, I had to find accommodation in another hotel.
Overall, the stay was extremely uncomfortable and disappointing, and I would not recommend this hotel.
Don't stay here if you want to sleep. The tube trains vibrate the entire room and are so loud you can't sleep while they're running. They stop at 00.30am and start again at 5.45am. Staff were friendly and the room was fine but not being able to sleep in a hotel is pretty basic.
I expected a windowless room, it’s an underground hotel after all, but I wasn’t expecting such a tiny basic furniture-less space with such an overpowering smell of cheap cleaning products. This hotel is fine for an overnight stay in central london but I’d look at alternatives in the area if you’re staying longer. One tiny lift serving both the Reception & accommodation floors so expect to wait. Absolutely everything that it is wrong with modern hospitality boiled down to one horribly appointed space - it used to be a car park and retains all the charm of its previous use

The room was clean and pleasant. Staff all friendly and helpful. The toilet flush was a bit aggressive though! The suction was really loud! We were at the end of the row and the nearby underground tube rumbled every now and then but not enough to wake a light sleeper. The taps and shower also made a weird whistling noise when you turned them off.
Firstly the staff was very friendly and helpful, my room was spotlessly clean and my bed was so comfortable I did not want to get up.
Would definitely stay at Zedwell again.
Bed is pretty big the only downside is you can hear a tube train go by sometimes its not loud but you do hear a dull rumble

Clean room, good wifi, great location - rooms a bit too sparse and did not like expensive charge for 45 minute early check-in or charging for bag storage.

Værelset var lækkert og rent men det var VIREKLIG højlydt, man kunne høre alt hvad der skete på de andre værelser ved siden af. Derudover var der problemer med indtjekning. De kunne ikke finde os i systemet så vi endte med at vente i virkelig lang tid før vi kunne få lov til at få vores værelse

this hotel is in an underground bunker at -4 and -5 from street level. There are no windows and if you turn off all the lights in the room you are in pitch darkness - you cannot see your hand in front of your face - or where your phone is or where the light switch is. This I found truly disturbing and claustrophobic - I think a good suggestion would be to have at least slightly illuminated lightswitches. The rooms are below the underground line and so you can feel and her the underground trains rumbling overhead - if you are a light sleeper this is very disturbing. The toilet flush system is super powerful and noisy. you can hear people flushing there toilets in other rooms. The most unpleasant thing was being charged to leave bags both before and after checkin. Your summary of hotel facilities includes luggage storage but it does not mention that it is paying and GBP15 per bag both before and after checkin. This is the first and only hotel I have ever stayed in where this has been applied - not market practice and very dishonest.

Checkin process was annoying - had to retype all my information even though they already had it. Charged me an early check-in fee despite having plenty of available rooms and it being after 1pm. The hallways smelled. Water not very hot. You are literally five floors underground and can hear the tube going by every 3 minutes. Lobby also underground and grim.

Very central hotel, tiny but super cute room, although (as advertised) completely without any amenities, such as hairdryers, tv, tea/coffee making facilities in the room (although these are all available near the Reception. Staff lovely.

Being an underground hotel, it was nice and quiet.
The air conditioning in my room didn't work very well. There was a funky smell in the common areas. I had a twin room. One of the beds did not have any mattress protector and the other one had a stained mattress protector so I slept on top of the duvet.
Great location but only one lift which can cause congestion for exit- entry.

For the price you pay you'd expect at least a coat hanger. Place is quiet but you have the constant rumble of tubes constantly so if you're a light sleeper you won't get much sleep. Aircon would of been better having a member of the team blow on me as it was that light even on full
The best part about this hotel is the location. If you want to be right in the mix, central to all major things/metro this place is great for you. The rooms however are stripped to the bare bones. Someone may call that minimalistic but I would call it skimping. These new budget hotels cut corners for profit. Our room still had marking from the builders during construction. And you could just tell it had never been properly deep cleaned. We had to beg for room cleaning and extra towels. You get what you pay for!
