Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel offers free morning coffee and newspapers on the terrace. You’re also just steps from plenty of dining options at Mayfair Shopping Centre and nearby local eateries. Some rooms come with kitchenettes, perfect for late-night snacks or easy breakfasts after a long night out.

Nightlife Options

While Hotel Zed Victoria doesn’t host live music itself, its central location makes getting to nearby bars, pubs, and music venues a breeze. After the show, head back for a more chill, low-key vibe—or keep the night going with a round of retro video games in the lobby lounge.

What People Say

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel is a little outside the downtown core, so you may need a car or rideshare to get to some venues. Others note that while the vibe is fun, it may not suit those looking for luxury or high-end amenities. But hey—if you're here for the music, it's got all the right notes.

The Bottom Line
