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 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!

A short stay is okay.

The place was very clean and that was great. The bed was comfortable, wonderful. Communication was good. Now, If you are from the USA then the place is too small. No table to rest your food or anything else. No chair to sit other that on the bed. It is good for overnight or the weekend stay, not for a 10 days vacation.

Good stay in Bob W Olympia, great response from the team on WhatsApp. Nice facilities in the room, clean and comfortable. Just one note if you are very sensitive to outside noise, it can get noisy if you have a room facing the main street. At least they provide you with ear plugs.

My room 205 was clean and comfortable but pretty small . Good for one person and Perfect for a short stay. The coffee bar, microwave, mini fridge, and complementary tea and coffee was a nice touch. No elevator, which can be difficult with big luggage. Be sure to download the BOB. W app for easy check-in, door code and to unlock your room because of keyless function.

As a last minute booking I found the checking in process cumbersome and time comsuming. Apartment is clean enough. However the bathroom is not that great as you can barely reach the toilet as it’s so close to the sink and the shower also doesn’t stay upright.
