Note that the compact double rooms are "lower ground" - not mentioned on Expedia. Clean rooms with a practical location - some aircon would really be ideal, especially as downstairs was much hotter than upstairs

Great location and great room. Bathroom very tight even if you are small. The room was exceptionally hot and never cooled down. Would say again but not in a heatwave.

The location was great, very easy to access the room, good communication etc. It was let down by the terrible state of the carpets in the communal areas and hallways - it was disgusting. There was no AC and during a heatwave meant that I didn’t sleep a wink as the room turned into a sauna!

These compact rooms boast good design and a clean, economical layout, and that was true for the most part. However, the bathroom requires serious gymnastics just to sit on the toilet, as the sink in room 6 is positioned so close that it presses against your chest. This is not merely poor design, it verges on a code violation. Someone was clearly not paying close enough attention during construction. That said, the bed was clean and comfortable, and the heating worked very well.

Great location and exceptionally clean room. Perfect for my stay. The only downside was the last night patrons across from the room and the floor below slamming doors, running up and down the stairs, playing loud music and making so much noise into 4 AM, treating the establishment like a fraternity dorm. The downside of such a hotel is that it’s impossible to address rowdy patrons as it happens. This situation notwithstanding the rooms were perfect for my stay.

Really enjoyed my stay at Bob W London Olympia! Clean and compact room that’s just enough for two people. Despite being central, I found that it was quiet and relaxing at night, offering a real home-away-from-home feel. Walking distance to a bus stop and tube station which is a plus! Only note for anyone staying here is that if you’re using Vodafone, be aware that the mobile signal around the hotel can be quite weak, which might make the online check-in a bit tricky. However, once you're close to the entrance, you can easily connect to the hotel’s Wi-Fi using the password provided in your check-in instructions so that makes it easy to check-in!
