Staff, very helpful. Hotel only 5 mins walk from station. Room very small, entrance to ensuite, walk in sideways! If large wouldn't get in!

The room was very small, there wasn't a soap, and the staff wasn't very collaborative.

Hotel Oliver was the most horrid establishment I have ever set foot in. The building was in need of substantial renovation and the rooms were tacky and dated. The room presented was filthy, stuffy and shamefully overpriced. The receptionist was rude and entirely incapable of handling her job. The staff cared very little for customer service. I never felt comfortable or safe in the hotel. Hotel Oliver should not be listed on this website. The place does not deserve 'hotel' classification. It was a disgusting pit that has no place competing with legitimate London hotels.

Lack of space, especially in the ensuite. The shower drain was also blocked.

The front desk clerks, Apita and Mac were very friendly and helpful with directions and suggestions. Our shower stall was clogged and while we informed the desk the night we arrived, no one came to fix it. On the 2nd night, I followed up again and was given the plunger. The wait staff was slow and not friendly. Breakfast was set, no choices.

Breakfast was poor - so old fashioned and penny pinching - like going back to the 1970s.. Suggest that a buffet-style continental breakfast would offer more choice (instead of the obligatory apple, no-choice yoghourt, boiled egg, corn/bran flakes!) .... and maybe lower labour cost. Brown bread toast would be an easy choice to offer too..

For the price the hotel was decent, although the towels were not changed for our second day and the staff didn't show the best customer service. The room however was a reasonable size and the bathroom clean and new.

Having read all the negative comments on other reviews, I was pleasantly surprised how acceptable it was for a budget business stay in a very good location. I have stayed in similar hotels in this price range in the area and this was equally as good as they were, bearing in mind this is not the Ritz! For this reason I am not going to write any negative comments which will hopefully redress the balance.

Staff service, excellent. Location in South Kensington good for shopping, restaurants, etc.. Bustling evening, and morning, life. Surprising experience as I usually stay in 4-5 star hotels. Good value for money.

Staff were lovely. Parking arrangements were fantastic. Great location for the area. Bathroom was great It wasn't made clear to us on arrival about the tv remote or a/c control. There was signs around the hotel that maintenance was needed. The breakfast was ok ~ but just OK. I would have expected better quality for the location of the hotel and although you can purchase drinks from a fridge, this wasn't explained either. There is no bar facilities.

I stayed at the hotel with my husband and our two kids. It is a friendly hotel - the room was nice, clean and large enough for the four of us; the staff was friendly and helpful; the breakfast was larger than expected; the reception was staffed 24/7. We will definately come back the next time we visit London!

The only thing I liked was the warm shower. It needs a make over. Decor is outdated and floors and doors squeak. You can hear every step the guests make above you.

Appropriate location for our purpose. Breakfast was more than enough but it was the same meal everyday, breakfast service was good. Nice building kepting the good old-fashion manner. Hotel Oliver is close to Earl s Court tube station with direct line to Victoria, Monument stations etc., bus stops right in front. Walk distance to Olympia fair center . The room is quite small and dirty. They have new furniture but the courtains and the bed sheets and covers are old, worn out and not really clean even though they were hoovering and making up the beds daily. A specific persisting smell of old all over but maybe somebody else can enjoy this, we didn'T. You have to pay 10 pound to use the television....no fridge.

The hotel is in an ideal location, not far from Earl's Court tube station. The staff were very friendly and helpful and there is an added touch that you can use the lounge at any time and get a tea or coffee free of charge. The reception area was very welcoming and tidy, the bedroom was simple but adequate. It was clean and the staff came in both days we were there to make the beds etc. It could do with a slight update in the rooms and a bit of paint but for £190 for two people for two nights, we were more than happy with the hotel. I would highly recommend it for thoses wanting to see London especially on a budget. The room had a television and was en-suite and catered for all our needs.
