The hotel is about 5 minutes walk from Paddington and that, like many of the hotels in this area,is probably is best feature.I had a four person room (only room available). As a solo traveller I felt cramped, I struggle to see four people with any luggage in this room. It was a very small ensuite with a shower cubicle.Breakfast was included. It was continental only. There is limited seating all set us as four person tables (about 6 or 7 altogether). When the tables were occupied the staff directed people waiting to fill up those tables. It was all a bit awkward. Getting toast, which is done by the staff is a bit hit or miss so you may need to chase them, be prepared, they really don't care!Not somewhere I would recommend, if you can afford to stay elsewhere.

The hotel is clean and quite convenient for travel since it's close to the Paddington station. Breakfast is also provided. The reception staff are very kind and friendly. If you stay during the summer and want to use the air conditioning, there is a charge of £5 per hour, and you need to call the staff to turn it on.

The location is good. Near Paddington station and two bus stops. The room however wasn't very good. The single room is very small. The single bed is uncomfortable. When I turned over I had to stop myself from falling out of the bed. …

ONE STAR HOTEL. LOTS OF BETTER CHOICES AROUND.The room is very small, like a cage. No tee/coffee in the room, so you have to go downstairs for a cup of bad quality tea.The aircon has been disabled. There is a labele on it saying contact reception for activation. When I asked reception to activate it, they said we have not started it yetand and I can talk to the manager in the morning if I want. If I open the window, it's too noisy, and mosquitos come in.The bed is very low quality and uncomfortable. Woollen blanket with no duvet, feels not clean, I'm already itching. It's no surprise if I find mite, lice, or something similar. It feels very bad, really.There is no shampoo and shower gel, I had to ask for it, and they said, "Come downstairs and get it! Finally, they brought it to my room, and this is what I got(photo)I paid £120 for this room. I could have booked a room in a much better hotel with the same price, in the same area.The only good thing about this hotel I the location, for me.This is my first and last stay in this hotel.

I have just spent 7 nights at Olympic House Hotel & this was my second visit. The bathrooms in the this area are tiny but I had a great shower every day. My bed was comfy and the room was a nice size. I received cleaned towels every second day. The location is perfect. I was never afraid to walk around the area.Andrea and her Mother (Yaya) were lovely to talk to. I would stay there again if I returned to London .
