Hotel Olympia London SW5 9BY

"Good when you're on a budget but expect the worst. It's a good spot. On the edge of the zone 1, so that's nice. Tube is really close. Bus stations too and plenty of shops and pubs. Although the whole hotel stinks like mold and the bathroom smell like manure. First you can learn to ignore after a while, the bathroom will need to be closed to be bearable. Also - the furniture are in ruin. Our wardrobe fell apart on day 1. My mom's bed had too long of a mattress so it was sticking out weirdly and in the end one part of the bed was raised and other was falling down. Rooms terribly small. Literally book it if you only want to sleep and go in the morning. Also no lift. Climbing 3 store on those short narrow but high stairs is risky too."

"Easily the worst hotel I've ever stayed at. We were welcomed by a roach crawling across the wall. The room was filthy and had the stench of mould. The carpet looked like it hadn't been vacuumed in years, plus there was dirt and bug sheddings on the mattresses. The beds were very stiff and uncomfortable, and each one came with one flimsy pillow. The bathroom smelled like rotten eggs, and it didn't have a toilet paper holder or a towel rack. They supplied tea, but only left one mug for two people. When the front desk was questioned we were told that we couldn't get another cup because housekeeping was gone for the day. You couldn't move the curtain without the rod falling down, as it wasn't long enough to be secured by the holders. Same with the rod in the closet, you couldn't hang a coat without it crashing down. Two of the pull-out drawers didn't have bottoms on them, I guess they're supposed to be decorative? I struggle to think of one positive thing about the place, other than the fact that the building didn't collapse while we were in it. I wouldn't stay here again even if it was free!"

"it was great. because our flight was absolutely late we could check in without any problems outside the check in times. we are welcomed very friendly welcome, on our will be founded gets, cozy small room for an absolutely fair price, location is top. can I recommend for the price absolute!!"

"Rooms are quite small but i actually can't recommend Hotel Olympia highly enough. Rooms were clean and well presented. The staff were fantastic and friendly and the location is literally a moments walk from the tube station into central London, shops and pubs just round the corner, very quiet and safe location. We will definitely stay again."

"If this hôtel is a 3 stars hotel, then my bedroom deserves 10 stars. Everything was dirty, there was mold and holes on the wall, and rooms are very small. If you’re looking for sleeping in decent conditions RUN AWAY !! But if you want to do a survival experience you can try it."
