Poor professionality at the reception desk, uncleaned room, no room service (TV, telephone, hairdryer etc. Breakfast very very poor!

As I read in previous reviews, the room was tiny and the bath was new and clean. Given that London is so expensive I felt lucky to get a room for 60 pounds sterling. However, the bed and the furnishings were old, the door had no proper lock and I did not feel safe at night. No clock in the room and I did not receive one out of two wakeup calls which made me nervous when the day of my flight arrived so I ended up staying up most of the night worrying. The TV reception was good and the location close to Earl's Court as well as Museum of Science, etc. was excellent. Although breakfast was included, I did not venture down into the unappealing basement location even once for it. I was afraid to leave the windows open at night due to being on the first floor and having inadequate locks on the windows as well. The front desk staff was friendly and did the best with what they have, but overall the place gave me the creeps. At least we didn't end up with a room in the basement. I was pleasantly surprised that new towels showed up each day and the bed was made, but the pillows were so flimsy and the coverlet looked dirty. But....again, it was 'only' 60 pounds for two people per night. I'm told that is a bargain.

The lobby looked quite dreadful. the room was the smallest twin room you can imagine. You couldn't move in there at all. The beds seemed new and were comfortable though and the tiny bathroom with shower was very fresh and looked completely new. Terribly hot in there though. The breakfast was a joke. The two ladies worked very hard but there was so few table there so there was often a queu.Dry toast, hot water with a teabag, cheap cornflakes...Shame - it as very good located 2 mins walk from Earl's Ct tube.

The price/quality relationship was ok. The rooms are small but clean. The hotel is near a tube station (Earls Court). If you don't want to spend much money and have a short stay the Olympia will be fine for you.

Hi, we reached Earls Court Square, and saw the houses as shown on the website, however when we reached the Olympia, we received an unpleasant surprise as the building was shabby; it wasn’t the same as the photo we had seen. The Olympia building looked out of place in that square… The room was tiny; the mattress was worn and caved in, so I slept on the duvet for some comfort. Whenever the people in the room above walked the whole ceiling seemed to shake, but no, it was the lighting unit which wasn’t adequate, and caused us to be woken up with the minimum of fuss. The windows were crap! Sorry for that, but they really were. We had the room on the corner, where there is a busy street, where we could here all the traffic passing by. This was due to the windows being inadequate and did not buffer the sound at all. There was a mousetrap in the room, as also in the reception office, and probably in most other places. I’m glad I saw it on the last night! I did feel that the industrial bin in our room looked out of place… The breakfast room was tiny, one day we had to wait to sit down while others finished, and other days other people had to wait. It’s just not right is it…? Apart from the above, the website must show some info regarding parking facilities/options available to potential clients, a bit of honesty upfront would be welcome. I’m sorry, under the current situation, I wouldn’t recommend the hotel.

We were placed in a basement dungeon for the first 2 nights. The bathroom was small but nicely done (no soap dish in the shower)-the rest of the room was like a glorified storage closet-the advertised coffee pot had no plug to power it-someone removed the extension cord from our tv on the second day-no one could explain it so they moved us 4 flights up-nicer room! There were many small hotels in the Earl's Court area-this appeared to be the worst! This hotel does not deserve more than a 1 star rating. Breakfast was so-so--bowl of cornflakes-toast-instant coffee and oj. Close to Earl's Court Station-many food and service possibilities closeby-including a laundromat.

All that glitters is not gold!! For sure does not expect what you see on Internet. First do not expect a great welcome! Then, everything is in miniature (but is the same everywhere in London, as i could see in previous experiences). Anycase, the bathroom was the best part of the hotel. A positive thing was the underground, very close to the hotel. To end, we do not suggest it, if you like to have space, good service and above all ........ if you are just a little fussy!
