Great location and exceptionally clean room. Perfect for my stay. The only downside was the last night patrons across from the room and the floor below slamming doors, running up and down the stairs, playing loud music and making so much noise into 4 AM, treating the establishment like a fraternity dorm. The downside of such a hotel is that it’s impossible to address rowdy patrons as it happens. This situation notwithstanding the rooms were perfect for my stay.

Really enjoyed my stay at Bob W London Olympia! Clean and compact room that’s just enough for two people. Despite being central, I found that it was quiet and relaxing at night, offering a real home-away-from-home feel. Walking distance to a bus stop and tube station which is a plus! Only note for anyone staying here is that if you’re using Vodafone, be aware that the mobile signal around the hotel can be quite weak, which might make the online check-in a bit tricky. However, once you're close to the entrance, you can easily connect to the hotel’s Wi-Fi using the password provided in your check-in instructions so that makes it easy to check-in!

Location was great, close to the train station. Property was very hot, window only opened a crack but they were responsive & let us know where a fan was that we could use. Just a bit cramped for us.

It was really nice and included a lot such as a mini fridge, utensils, water, coffee and tea. I’d say the only issue I found was the dryer didn’t really dry and there was light construction but other than that great stay

A short stay is okay.

The place was very clean and that was great. The bed was comfortable, wonderful. Communication was good. Now, If you are from the USA then the place is too small. No table to rest your food or anything else. No chair to sit other that on the bed. It is good for overnight or the weekend stay, not for a 10 days vacation.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
elevator was broken the entire time, came into a clogged sink in the bathroom that took the team a day to fix, and little black bugs that I reported to the team but they didn't seem too concerned about. Even found some of the bugs in my skincare when I came home. Very loud interior, little to no sound proofing, could hear the neighbors child yelling "LE TOILET" all night. I feel very ripped off by the price I paid.
