We stayed at the Olympic House for a couple of nights while in London, the area is really nice with plenty of nice restaurants and easy (and cheap) transportation to main attractions. Subways station is just some blocks away. Room was okay, clean and quiet, bathroom was not too small, cable tv available. Front desk people were very unkind, there... More

I booked a single room for 2 nights here whilst working in London. For the price (60-80GBP per night) and location (central London, reasonable area) I think it represents very good value. According to its website it was refurbished in 2007 - which I can believe as it generally seemed in good condition, and the fittings were reasonably modern (in... More

Very basic but flawless, almost. Nicely reconditioned and very clean. Warm enough (considering it snowed in London). Shower worked, as did digi-TV. Breakfast included juice, coffee/tee, toast, butter, ham, cheese, marmelade, corn flakes, milk, boiled eggs and chocolate croissants. Little things could have made the difference. Something extra to the breakfast e.g. Wall hooks for wintercoats e.t.c. A bit longer... More

We enjoyed our stay at the Olympic House, very conveniently located and nice area. We loved that we were just a few blocks from Paddington Station and many Pubs, shops, and walking distance to Hyde Park. The Sussex Garden area was very nice and quiet. We arrived, at Heathrow, at 6:30 a.m. and headed via the Heathrow Connect to Paddington... More

Stayed 13 nights in December 2011. 1st room was very small but kind of expected this from prior reviews. Too small for such a long stay. Management moved me to a larger single (still small but more than adequate) ASAP which was 4th night of stay, not terrible. Both rooms were very clean and beds comfortable. I agree with the... More

Breakfast was worth it not be the traditional English, ground floor rooms are a bit noisy due to the reception is over and soon also hear the... More

What a nice find!! It was VERY close to Paddington Station as well as the Paddington underground Station. It was very close to Hyde Park as well. There are MANY restaurants nearby, so you will find something new everyday of your stay. The hotel staff was friendly and courteous and helpful with directions. The breakfast left a lot to be...

Yes, the rooms are SMALL, especially if you are an American. We found the rooms to be extremely small too but very clean and organized. The bathroom was also very... More

The working staff at the front desk was not friendly at all. I even tried to be over friendly to be obnoxious and they couldnt take... More

My wife and me are travel agents. We picked up this hotel among others on our budget. Something we learned in 20 years on the travel industry is that a hotel can be a basic one but the people that work there definitely make the difference. Since we arrived the young lady who is "the manager of the hotel" did... More
