Z Victoria

Set in a converted Victorian townhouse, this sleek budget hotel is a 3-minute walk from London’s Victoria Station, an 8-minute walk to several theatres and an 11-minute walk from Buckingham Palace.

The simple, air-conditioned rooms feature plush beds, free WiFi, 40-inch flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, and glass-partitioned en suite bathrooms. Some rooms don’t have windows.

A continental buffet or full English breakfast is available for an extra cost in the airy cafe, which also serves lunch.
