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!

Lovely room which was very clean and it's at an exceptional location. The building itself isn't very attractive and the breakfast wasn't great.

A very economical old hotel in a convenient and safe location. Staff were friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable and breakfast was good. Free coffee and tea at all times. Carpets in halls are a bit tatty and dirty. Shower stall was very small and would not be suitable for a heavier person.

Very cheap and cheerful but was happy with what we got for our money. It was a last minute booking and I would normally go for a more luxury hotel but as it was just one night I was willing to settle for less. The location is brilliant for central London with earls court station a short walk down the road and a bus stop right outside it was easy to access anywhere within a very short space of time. The room was very small but tidy and clean and the bed comfy. The staff were helpful and friendly. If you want a perfect 5* then it's not for you but for a top end budget hotel you really can't complain. There was a cleaner cleaning the room next door to our at around 12:30am, it didn't last long but was quite noisy! Enough to wake me up anyway.

Room and bathroom was small but neat and clean. Everything worked fine (lift, no cold showers, good water pressure). Staff was accomodating, friendly and helpful. Really not bad for the price. Nothing was really bad. The only minor observations was very little shampoo etc. but this was not a major as I always travel with my own. Had to pay a 20 pound deposit for the tv remote, also not a major issue.
