Great location - only 5 minute walk from Paddington Station. Great for rail and underground access. Triple room was small but clean and comfortable and the bathroom was spotless. Breakfast was ok - coffee was not great, and no fresh fruit, only tinned peaches, but there was plenty of continental breakfast options. All the staff were kind and helpful. It was a hot summer night in our 4th floor room, so we called down for the AC to be switched on and this was an extra £10, but was worth every penny. Beds were comfortable and shower worked well. Thankfully there is an elevator in the building which we were very grateful. Overall good value for money in an exceptional location and I would happily book here again.

So close to Paddington and across the street from Hyde park. Very close to some amazing restaurants...our favorite was a place named Mimo's and Wahaca 😋😋. Walking distance to Carnaby, ... approx 40mins but the walk was good; we walked it numerous times. The hotel has the bare essentials, but for a spot where we were just going to sleep it was perfect. We were safe; the place was clean, rooms were cleaned everyday. The staff don't go out of there way to chat, but we liked that. To get air conditioning in the room is was 10£ extra a night...worked too good and room got pretty cold very fast. We will more likely book here again!

The Olympic House was a great place to stay for so many reasons. The proximity to Paddingtom station was key as this tube/train can get you anywhere you want to go. The service at the hotel was excellent and the people who worked there kind and considerate. Just a great place to stay for your visit to London.

The property is not the worst in London, sure. It is clean although there is a rat infestation outside. Rooms are fine, but you need to pay extra to use the air conditioning which then runs without temperature control. The breakfast is maybe ok but the room is noisy, windowless and closes at 9am on Sunday. The fire scape route is not kept free at all times.

The location of the hotel is great - it's a 4 minute walk to the Paddington station, and a 10 minute walk to an area with tons of restaurants, shops, etc. The hotel room itself was clean and comfortable. The only reason for me giving 4 stars for the property condition & facilities is that they charge extra for A/C (it seems this is quite normal in the UK ; we just had the bad luck of being there during a heat wave, so it was harder).

Hidden charges and bad wifi.

As expected was a small room only fit for sleeping in. Which was fine for my needs. A very simple breakfast is included. Two major issues though. They charged an extra £10 per night to turn on the air conditioning, which couldn’t then be controlled or modified. So, the fan and air temperature were centrally controlled. The way they tried to argue it was fair and not a hidden charge was extremely annoying. Having air conditioning was one of the criteria I book on. Second, in the evenings the wifi strength was very poor. I wouldn’t stay here again.

This is a tourist hotel in an excellent location. This hotel is minimalist and functional. One would only want to sleep and dress here. There is no room for anything else. Breakfast is substandard.

Perfect location for travelling

Very conveniently located to Paddington Station. Quiet location. Staff very friendly and super helpful. The only addition which would have improved the stay would be tea and coffee making fzcilities in the room. Would definitely stay again and have already recommended to friends.

£10 to turn on the air conditioning and no soap...

£10 to turn on the air conditioning in my room...£10 to turn it on and then I can't change the temperature, turn it off or down from within my room. Now, I understand from an eco perspective that limiting air con use might be a good idea, but it's so hot at the moment I'd have been more than happy with a fan but that wasn't even an option. There was also no hand soap in the bathroom. I don't know about you but when I travel I carry shampoo and wash things but not antibacterial hand wash, so I dread to think how many people before me haven't been able to wash their hands properly in the bathroom. I've stayed in all types of hotels and budget hotels in my years and never have I not had hand soap or a fan. At least let us know before hand so we could come prepared, not travel across the country and then arrive once everything is shut and be unable to get anything. If you are a larger person you won't get in and out of the bathrooms. Also don't expect a duvet as it's a sheet with another sheet on top, I don't know if they change that in the winter but I won't be back to find out. Positives...decent location and the room was quiet as the hotel is set back and some trees muffle sounds from the road, so if that's important to you then don't rule this place out. I was just incredibly frustrated as the hidden costs after such a long journey and then wanting to wash my hands when I got in my room which I don't think is much to ask, maybe I'm wrong though hey

Thoroughly disappointed

It is not a hotel where we were made to feel very welcome. The reception staff made no effort to make sure we had a nice stay. I'm afraid we were asked to pay £10 per day for air-condiitioning on a stifling hot day. This is not mentioned at all in the hotel advertising and is therefore deceptive. What is more, the aircon is centrally controlled and only has one setting, which is 20°C. At this temperature we froze in 45 mins. We asked for the aircon to be turned off, which they kindly did, but it was put back on overnight and when I asked the receptionist to please turn it off, I received a very rude response. Having to pay extra to cool a very hot room down is completely unreasonable. The 'cheaper' hotel I am now staying in in Earl's Court does not demand this outrageous payment.
