Despite small size , it has all the facilities . Coffee machine and pods were bonus .
Pros:

My course was at Olympia , which was just a stone’s throw away from the hotel . Check in was easy , Kevin at reception was very polite .

Cons:

Room was just a standard long box size room . Double bed was small double . My side was wall end and in night , I felt like getting squeezed into wall .

Chouette hotel simple et pratique
Pros:

La rue et l'hôtel sont très calmes et proches de petits magasins ou restos. La chambre était impeccablement propre et jolie, avec une mini-cuisine bien pratique.

Cons:

Par contre, nous avions réservé une chambre pour 4 personnes, avec un lit double et deux lits simples. Or, nous avons reçu une chambre plus petite avec deux lits doubles, sans remboursement.

Location is great as was the price of the single room.
Pros:

It is in a great location for Olympia, the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Bed was quite hard, not very comfortable. There was a periodic vibration from the air conditioning that bounced of the tv screen, which made it difficult to find where it was coming from. Wanted to mention as I left but reception was empty and I was short on time.

Super lieu pour un séjour à Londres
Pros:

Nous avons apprécié l'emplacement, le matériel fourni (micro-ondes, cafetière, vaisselles, etc...), les lits étaient confortables et la salle de bain était grande. Le personnel était gentil et disponible. Merci à eux.

Cons:

La température très très élevée quand nous sommes arrivées. Mais le problème a été réglé très rapidement. :-)

An engineering marvel....how do they fit so much into such a tiny space?
Pros:

The room had everything you could need (microwave, fridge, toaster, sink, coffee machine etc), and was very good location for Olympia. Crazily small space even by London standards, but price was good.

Cons:

Quite possibly the smallest room I've ever stayed in. Its amazing they managed to fit everything in so well, but be prepared that if there is more than one of you staying in a double room, it will be a VERY tight squeeze!
