I have used Simply Rooms on a number of occasions and will use them again mainly due to type of accomodation and location. Having had to pay a bond of £100 (refundable this time I was a bit disappointed to find the kettle housing damaged and the window blind inoperable. Having requested extra milk I waited 2 hours before going to reception and explaining I hadn't any.

Check in was very quick. Happy with the location , very near to the EILTS testing center. Staffs are friendly. Will book this hotel again.

Giving an opinion on a hotel in London is always difficult, considering the average prices of hotels, especially those in central areas. The structure in question is a fairly old building, completely renovated internally, apart from the slightly vintage wooden stairs which evidently date back to the original structure. The rooms are modern, on average small, but not uncomfortable, with complete services and absolute cleanliness, even if the services available are very minimalist (no breakfast, no minibar, no elevator), only a generous availability of excellent English tea, sugar and kettle, with which you can still organize a pleasant pre-breakfast. Overall, considering the prices of the rooms, significantly lower than other hotels in the area, it is a structure that in London has a good quality-price ratio. I think I will use it again.

Very convenient for events at Olympia which is why we picked it. This was my second stay. Staff we very helpful and the location is good. The room was clean enough for a couple of days but could do with a good dusting. Bedding (and beds) need replacing and room needs TLC in places but you get what you pay for an no major issues. Wifi was fine for browsing (didn't try streaming), room had lovely aircon and a mini fridge which was very convenient. Room was also generally pretty quiet and housekeeping made it nice and tidy each day. Would probably stay here again for an event at Olympia.

Just what we need for an overnight stay

Good

Poor. I’d an inexpensive London hotel, so expectations were low anyway. Superficially ok, but then you find old socks and tissues…. Shooter and water pressure good, but it sprayed everywhere on its old fitting The really really poor point was no curtains! Just vanity curtains that cover 10% of the edge of the window and don’t close! Signs of old blinds, long since gone. So basically boy much sleep, perhaps less of an issue in a dark winter?! Avoid this hotel.

Worst hotel ever. The staff rude, the beds like old sofas from the street. We left an got another hotel

Nice

I was sceptic after reading all the bad reviews online. Yes it is run down, but it’s reflected in the price you pay. They must have changed cleaning companies because I had a very clean room, fresh sheets and towel changes every day. You see the cleaners come in and work every morning for at least half the day. Reception staff very nice

For the price, great.

Matress old, hair on the sheets. FLoorboards damaged, blind damaged. Wifi drops every 5 minutes. Cups not clean

The ratings on this hotel are a lie. Firstly, this is definitely not a 4 star facility. More like 1 star at the very most, 2 star. The ratings mislead me to book this place. It’s either the previous occupants have a very low impression of what a standard hotel should look and feel like or they are just liars. I really don’t know how to begin. The first room I got was on the ground floor. It smelt musty and moldy. It had no ventilation. I had to ask for a room change. After a little hesitation, I was moved to a room on the first floor. The heating worked well but the room was dusty, the bathroom was moldy and overall I could not use the toilet facilities because I was uncomfortable with cleanliness. I found a massive bug in the middle of the night just roaming the bathroom. Thankfully, I was only there for one night. I won’t be staying here ever again.

the room is dirty, wifi always disconnected, no one watchs your luggage, no lift, poor sound-deafening

The Hotel is in a good location for Olympia, I stayed here for one night. The staff were generally helpful and allowed me to check in an hour early. The place in general is a little tired and wasn't the cleanest hotel i've stayed in. lots of dust on the windows and the matress on the bed was really scuffed which you could feel through the sheets. The floors were really noisy in my room which was annoying for me and no doubt the room underneath. Facilities were ok and the kitchenette in my room was a bonus to cook food and breakfast. The pillows are terrible, super thin and abviosuly not been replaced in years. although i was given 3 of them so that was ample for me on my own. had i been sharing it would have been an issue. cant understand why such a small expense hasnt been taken care of given so many people on the reviews have mentioned this. My car was broken in to and my front window smashed on the road outside the hotel in the middle of the afternoon so if you're traveling by car use a multi story rather than park outside. Apparently not the first time its happened yet the Hotels CCTV that was directly outside the hotel wasnt working. Not the best stay for various reasons but an ok hotel for the price if you're visiting a show at olympia.

Good for the money spent and in a central location. Tired property, firm bed and awful pillows

The property was nice and so was the room, but it was not what we'd call luxury as described on the website. It was clean and th bed comfortable, but the pillows are poor. They are so flat that two even three is not enough for a truly comfortable night. Having said that we managed to sleep ok. For some reason the floor was very noisy, there was a cracking sound which sounded like something being dropped on the floor, whenever you moved. The shower was lovely and the towels nice and big. It was a pleasant stay and very close to Olympia where we'd been during the day. We'd probably stay again, but hopefully the pillows would be better.

This property is a bit shabby and run down and everything is a little grim. The service is not great. I left my dirty towels on the floor to be changed, as instructed, and I got back to find that the cleaner had picked them up and hung them back up again. The person on duty did rectify this when I complained though. Dirty cups and glasses did not get changed. They did not have any hand towels. However it was otherwise well equipped with hairdryer, safe, fridge, tissues, sockets etc and the shower was very good and the room warm.

Ótimo lugar, recomendo, muito confortável também. O único ponto negativo foi que ficamos no último andar e eram muitas escadas pra subir, mas isso não desfavoreceu a estadia no hotel. Só chamo atenção para quem for idoso ou tiver alguma dificuldade de mobilidade.

Pros Helpful receptionist Close to Olympia Relatively quiet Cons No lift which is a nightmare with luggage Needs a good deep clean My fridge broke the first night Supposed to have free water but this was only the first night. Nothing else was refilled after the first night either
