Nice hotel in a good location, beware the basement rooms for breakfast noise...
Pros:

Great location as we needed to be close to the ICC Olympia. Overground train just down the road too.

Cons:

We were put in Room B3 which was right beside the breakfast/kitchen area. Subsequently we were woken up about 6am by the team preparing for breakfast and later by other guests arriving for breakfast.
I complained to the very helpful lady at reception and she was able to move me to a top floor room, which was much quieter, then we were not disturbed.

Over priced and dated decor, but very comfy bed, lovely staff and in a great location.
Pros:

The hotel was in the perfect location for me as I was working right beside it. Lots of choices of nice places to eat nearby. The bed was super comfy and the room was clean. The bathroom was adequate, a little bit small. I loved the shower. It was perfect. The staff were so helpful and friendly.

Cons:

I've dropped some scores for this hotel based on a few aspects and the reason I wouldn't consider staying here again. First is the price. It was quiet high . The room was really small and tight that I kept hitting my foot on the bed walking around it. The air con wasn't very strong and the switches for the lights were very awkward to manage. The room decor needs updating, especially the mirrors. all the mirrors were tinted brown so not great for doing makeup. The breakfast was ok if you're a fan of a fry, but I am not. There wasn't a great choice of fruit and no yogurts. Only sugary cereals, nothing healthy, apart from scrambled egg. And lastly the wifi just didn't work for me unfortunately.

Pros:

Insgesamt Hotel, das seinem Preis entspricht und typisch britisch ist. Größe des Zimmers ist in Ordnung bei der Preiskategorie, vielleicht ein Problem für sehr kräftige Menschen. Frühstück mit English breakfast basics ordentlich. In der Klasse kann man einen täglichen Wechsel nicht erwarten. Uns hat es völlig gereicht (Cornflakes, haferpops, Toast, quality Joghurt und Obst auch dabei sowie Heißgetränke und Wasser / Saft). Frühstücksraum überschaubar, aber schön durch kleinen Garten dahinter. Recht leer, als wir da waren. Aufzug vorhanden. Unser Zimmer war sehr ruhig nach hinten raus und die Straße ist ebenfalls ruhig und hübsch. Wir fanden das Bett sehr gut und auch die Kissen. Bad in kleiner Größe auch gut geschnitten. Personal immer freundlich und bemüht bei Anfragen. Kein WLAN Problem. Klimaanlage funktionierte sehr gut. Für den Preis alles in allem sehr OK.
Hinweis zur Lage: die Overground Station Olympia wird nur am Wochenende durch die District line (Underground) bedient. Aber man kommt sehr gut mit der Main Line weg und kann dann umsteigen in die Underground.

Cons:

Duschvorhänge sind tatsächlich outdatet (aber Fusstuch hilft am Boden). Wasserdruck auch typisch britisch geringer im dritten Stock. Das Zimmer ist etwas "abgewohnt", Tapeten und Teppich haben bessere Zeiten gesehen, es müffelt leicht, geht aber durch Fensteröffnung weg. Problem beim Abzug der feuchten heißen Duschluft. Das läuft nicht optimal und der im Raum vorhandene Lüftungsschlitz braucht Überarbeitung. Deswegen nur 7 Punkte und nicht mehr. Ein sympathisches Haus, das eine Auffrischung bräuchte (die laut Angestellter auch mittelfristig geplant zu sein scheint).
