Hotel Oliver

It was very affordable for me and my three children especially since London is such an expensive town. It was quaint and comfortable enough for the price. Breakfast is included, which saved us a bunch of money. The staff was very helpful, especially when telling us about where to go to find things. A laundry mat is within walking distance, so is a movie theater and a grocery store. We saw the Transformers movie before it came out in the US. Using the subway will save you tons of money in cab fare. It's easy once you learn how to use it. If this is your first time visiting, do take the red bus sightseeing tour. It's worth it. Then you can take the subway back to everything and see it at your leisure. Madam Tousseauds will take you at least 2-3 hours to get through.

It would have been nice if breakfast wasn't the same thing every day. Adding some bagels or sweet breads and different types of cereal would have been nice for a change, but it was still good and it was free. There were only 5 TV channels, but you're sightseeing most of the time anyway, so it didn't much matter. You do have to learn how to use the subway or the buses because cabs are expensive and the hotel is a little ways away from all the major attractions (definitely not within walking distance unless you are used to walking 10-15 miles a day).

Well located

The room

wireless internet in the room, backyard view from the room

the room was like a tiny cell; there was no wardrobe; no place for the suitcase; the entrance to the bathroom was 40 cm wide, awfull shower; loads of someone else's hair on the duvet; the walls are cardboard thin, i could hear everything that was going on in the room next to mine, and could not sleep the whole night because it was too loud; the breafast was very lousy, the cheapest possible products, and one has to choose between corn flakes and a boilt egg, apparently one can't have both.

No remote control for TV. radio not connected.

I thought the room was clean but very small.

The staff were depressed and didn't smile. The fact that you must leave the key at the reception before you go out bothered me.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially on the last day when I was allowed to leave the room a little later than normal. Breakfast also good. I will stay there again.

A bit of noise from on-going work to the hotel - but I am sure that is just temporary.

The girl who served breakfast was lovely -

the woman at reception was miserable!

A great hotel in a quiet area of London, Earl's Court.Very friendly staff!...

The location of the hotel is great: it's only about 3 minutes from Earl's Court station on foot, many cheap restaurants and shops are in this distance as well. The room and bathroom were perfectly clean, and all furniture were in a good shape. The staff was kind. For the price we paid Hotel Oliver seems to be a good choise.

The porters and waitresses would need to improve their knowledge of English language. The breakfast was OK, however don't expect too much of it, it's not rich. There is no computer to use (altough they provide wi-fi).

Very close to Earls Court Tube, Decent price, Quiet room on the 4th floor. If all you are planning on doing is sleeping in the hotel, and out exploring all day, then this place is fine. The single room I had wasn't big enough for anything else really, but that is all i wanted it for, so it was ok. It was clean and comfortable and i got a good nights sleep.

Lack of English from the breakfast staff.
