Kalyani was an excellent host and could not have been more helpful. the extras we asked for were supplied without hesitation.
A slightly bigger bed, though it was ok for the size of the room a bit small compared to other hotels.

Location was excellent, just a short walk from the tube. Absolutely spotlessly clean.
The rooms are on the smaller side, but for the price and location, you can’t grumble. It was excellent

The room, although more on the smallish size, was perfectly clean and had everything we needed. In fact I can't remember the last time I was in a hotel this clean. It smelt beautiful and everything was immaculate - we were told the hotel is brand new so this probably helped; hopefully they'll be able to keep it this nice. The mattress was SO comfortable. The booking.com page suggested the only thing available in the room would be toilet paper, but there was everything we needed: towels, toiletries, hair dryer, good size mirrors, TV, kettle, tea and coffee (we didn't need these but for for the same of completeness: there was no iron and no little biscuits though:)). The location of the hotel was perfect for Olympia, very easy walking distance, and really quiet as it's on a side street, so we had an excellent sleep both nights we were there. Due to rushing to an event, we ended up not having breakfast at the hotel so I can't comment on the food, but the restaurant area looked very lovely and inviting. The staff were utterly charming and polite, especially the gentleman who checked us in the evening of the 15th Nov (whose name we didn't ask for :( apologies), and Vivek who checked us out very early on the morning of 17th Nov.
Nothing negative to add. Loved it, will definitely return!

This is one of the best options you probably can get around London for this price range. It is a nice small hotel in a quiet residential area. This is not a very center of the city, but you can easily use subway (tube!) to get to anywhere you want (Piccadilly and District Lines will get you practically to any point in the city). The neighborhood around the hotel isn't very hip and live, there is not much to do, but you will travel to the city center (or anywhere else) anyway, so it doesn't really matter. There is a nice grocery store, however, about 1 min walk from the hotel. Hotel is located on Piccadilly line which goes to London Heathrow airport, so it's very convenient to get to! This is a huge advantage. Despite that the hotel resides in the old London styled building, it has very shiny new facilities. The room is equipped with pretty much everything you might need. It's clean, neat, and comfortable. The breakfast is nice too! Fresh croissants are very good^^
Size of the room is the biggest issue, though. I stayed in regular single room, and it was very small, similar to what you might expect in Japan, for example. The bathroom is so small I hit the walls with my elbows by just moving around. However, I do understand that if you want something bigger and more comfortable, you should pay up accordingly :) So no complaints there. Rooms are not soundproof, I was able to hear pretty much everything that was happening in the room close to mine. But again you get what you pay for. This is a perfect deal for this price range.

Very comfy and clean hotel with great facilities. What I like most about the hotel though was the staff. Every member of staff we spoke to and dealt with were so friendly and helpful. I spoke to the staff through booking.com (Thuyet and Sandra) and asked for someone to put a bunch of red and pink roses in our room with a message for my girlfriend as a surprise as it was Valentine’s Day. Thuyet and Sandra were very helpful and it was Vivek who picked out the flowers and went a step further with the message and bought a valentines card and wrote it out with my message for my girlfriend. I am so thankful to Thuyet, Sandra and especially Vivek because he went above and beyond to make our experience extra special.

Location was about 7 min walk from tube, 12mins from the tube that goes to Heathrow. Quiet area, was able to walk from tube with young daughter late in evening safely. Hotel very modern and fresh, extremely clean. Breakfast room in lobby, we didn’t have breakfast. Staff really welcoming and helpful. Room small but was well warned about this and served us for what we needed!
Heating didn’t work in the room on the first night but the staff member at reception was apologetic and helpful, brought a plug in heater that worked well and heat was fixed for second night.

My stay in this hotel was easy, comfortable, and smooth. The hotel is new and well-equipped. A perfect choice if you value cleanliness and coziness. Javed and the rest of the staff were very attentive and eager to help — special thanks to Vevik for preparing me a breakfast box to go on my early departure. Thank you all !!
The breakfast was continental style, and everything tasted good - I'd like to see more savory options, though (protein lover here)

Staff were very friendly and helpful, room was cozy, clean, great soundproofing, very nice bathroom. Was one of the nicest hotels I've stayed in for the price point.
First night was very hot because the heater was on due to a cold week (but warm weekend), had to go to front desk to request they turn the AC on because it's controlled at the front desk.

The hotel is located in a quiet residential area and a few minutes walk to the tube station. The room was very clean and the team members were all very friendly and attentive. We stayed for 8 nights and used our hotel as a base to explore the sights of London.
The bed was a bit on the smaller side for 2 people with suitcases.
