I didn’t enjoy my stay at the Olympic House Hotel. I was injured on my way to the airport. I arrived late that evening and looked forward to taking it easy for a few days. When I entered my room at 10:00 p.m. the window was wide open and cold. There was a smell coming from the bathroom which was 3 feet from the bed. There were no towels in the room. I called and asked for towels and was questioned about looking for the towels. I explained it was cold in the room. I was never offered an additional blanket. The spread was stiff and didn’t look like it was washed often. I was always cold and I found that hotel sad and depressing. Cold and disappointed, I called Expedia and told them I didn’t want to stay there. I was informed that management refused to give me a refund. I spoke to the “manager “ the next day, who was argumentative, unsympathetic, and condescending. I have stayed in small hotels before. I have never had a “manager “ or employee speak to me in this manner. I could elaborate more. I checked out 5 days early and went to a much nicer hotel down the street. I’m giving this place two stars instead of one star, for two reasons. It is close to the Paddington station and the evening front desk clerk was incredibly kind, sympathetic, and compassionate. I limped down the street to my new hotel. I have stayed in many hotels in my lifetime. This is the first time I have ever had a situation like this. Thank you Expedia, for the partial refund.

A nice hotel, well presented, clean and in good condition. It’s a relatively quiet, comfortable, solid hotel, with (mostly) friendly staff, and in an excellent location.

Nice budget Hotel
Work trip. Have stayed at lots of hotels in the same area, and this is one I would definitely return to. Booked single room, which was nice and clean. Had desk and cupboard. The bathroom was small but fully functional. The hotel has a lift and included breakfast in the morning. Hotel does have ironing facilities but you have to use it in the basement area.

A Budget stay
This was very much a budget hotel. There was one pillow on the bed, the towel provided was very thin as was the lavatory paper, with one small bar of soap in the bathroom. There were no tea/coffee making facilities and no written guidance that there was a tea/coffee machine at reception. Some written information in the bedroom would have been helpful. Breakfast was unexciting and the furniture in the breakfast room seemed to be too big and chunky, so that it appeared cramped. ON a positive note, I was able to sleep with the window open, as the room was around the back of the building and, for London, was very quiet.

The property was close and convenient to Paddington Station… it is just around the corner and one block away! So convenient! There are many wonderful restaurants and pubs nearby as well. The only issue we had was the electric outlets in our room… actually the whole hotel. It kept blowing fuses. At first we thought we “fried” our converter, which I needed for my cPaP machine. I ordered another via Amazon. Only to find out that it was the outlets! Finally found one outlet in our room that “worked”, when we wiggled it! Be warned.

Excellent Value!
Have stayed a few times previously! Excellent, courteous and accommodating service throughout my stay. Single room was impeccably clean and tidy, well appointed with a very comfortable bed and a good sized bathroom, which was of a good size with a strong running shower and was exceptionally clean. Great value for money, for me a superb location and the owners I find to be very friendly and helpful. I'll be back again very soon.

Cheap but not so cheerful.
The room was small and the bathroom was tiny. No a lot of space to dry yourself after a shower. Water was a trickle in the shower with the temperature constantly changing. The breakfast was poor. Bland cereals and toast. No fruit offered. Best to go and by a coffee and croissant in one of the nearby cafes. The staff were efficient and friendly.Close to tube and restaurants.
