Although it’s ultra cool, the Hotel Zetta doesn’t take itself too seriously, giving it a very welcoming edge. What it does take seriously is your comfort. Rooms are modern — stretch out and enjoy the plush pillow top beds, plus amenities like Amazon Alexa and smart TVs. With technology a priority, this is one place you’ll stay connected. There's complimentary WiFi and a lobby featuring Macs and a game wall. Alternatively, retire to the S&R Lounge (short for ‘Salvage & Rescue’). Decked out like a Manhattan lobby, downstairs are dozens of tables, upstairs are sofas, TVs, video games and a red phone booth. Serving some of the finest cocktails in the city, opt for a hand-crafted drink, accompanied by some rosemary salted popcorn, and soak up the vibe.

Some places do things to make you feel more at home... at Hotel Zetta they go amazingly out of their way to make you feel like family. I'll put it simply this way... if I am traveling to San Fransisco, I am staying at Hotel Zetta. It's that simple. I can walk a 1/2 block to an incredible wood fired pizza place, there is a Walgreens around the corner, and also a trader Joe's. I don't need to have a car or Uber to get pretty much anything I want. And Moz across the street... amazing. Just book it... you will see.

I was hoping for the experience of the Zeppelin but its not. The lobby is impressive and your hotel staff are all very nice but need to be more informative about the valet hours. The rooms are poorly decorated. Felt like a dorm room mix match furniture lacking functionality. It would be helpful to have a table to eat on. No tables are available in…

I was really looking forward to this stay. The rooms looked awesome, and I appreciate the extra technology they advertised.
Everything was great up until we walked into our room. There is a stark difference between the pictures and the room. It’s like a completely different hotel. Still, the room was clean and comfortable. The bed was nice but…

I was really looking forward to this stay. The rooms looked awesome, and I appreciate the extra technology they advertised.
Everything was great up until we walked into our room. There is a stark difference between the pictures and the room. It’s like a completely different hotel. Still, the room was clean and comfortable. The bed was nice but nothing special.
The technology was a huge let down. The TV remote only worked if you were within 5 feet of the TV. Chromecast and Airplay just didn’t work. Hulu has discontinued support for their TV so that didn’t work. We were left with basic cable and YouTube. Luckily, I brought my AppleTV. However, I couldn’t connect it to the WiFi.
When asked for help with the technology in the room, I got no response.
The sleep was nice. The bathroom and shower were nice. I actually enjoyed the styling of the bathroom.
We checked out and got our car from the valet. All very pleasant and easy. I got the bill via email. There, I noticed that one night of parking was almost $65! Considering the room was $210, I find the parking fee to be too expensive. I wish I was told ahead of time what the rate was. I might have spend an extra 30minutes finding an over night garage nearby. I know there are plenty.
I would love to recommend this hotel. I like the vibe and the branding they are trying to go for. However, because of my experience I would recommend looking at one of the other many hotels in the area.

So so

Beds were very uncomfortable and the premium price isn’t worth it, especially with the added $30 a night resort fee. They also put a $250 deposit on your card, which seems steep considering you can’t even get food since everything is closed. Staff was great and place is cool. There is better value for a pandemic stay out there right now.
Great hotel in SF

This was a very nice hotel to stay at in the city. Extremely friendly and accommodating staff! Very clean rooms, sanitary conditions and secure building. I also loved how well our fur-baby was taken care of!

If your holiday is going ahead as planned, you can continue to pay for your holiday in Manage my booking, even if travelling in less than 12 weeks. If you’re unsure, you can delay any additional payments by choosing a new time to travel by requesting a call back in Manage My booking for one of our team to look at options.

If we haven’t notified you of any changes, your holiday will be going ahead as planned but if you prefer to move your holiday to a later time we can help. You can call our team on 0344 472 9499 who can look at options for you.
Payments are being prioritised based on when the request was made, working in order from March 2020 onwards. We will always try to process refunds at the earliest opportunity, for requests before August our maximum timeframe is 120 days. As we are steadily reducing the maximum processing time for each new request, for refund requests made in August, we expect the maximum processing time to be 80 days, from the date the refund is requested. For those requesting a refund in September, we expect it to be processed within a maximum of 60 days, and then reduce to 30 days for refunds requested in October, before returning to normal levels.
To finalise the amendment, one of our customer advisors will phone you. We need to work through amend requests in departure date order so we can prioritise those with the most imminent travel plans, so you may have a longer wait than usual until we’re able to ring you back. We will help everyone that wants to move their holiday.
