Very nice hotel, small room, but perfectly fine for a solo work traveler, super clean. Staff both at the reception and after during invoice request by email was very helpful and friendly. Definitely will consider staying in again.

Su4236 from United Kingdom (9/10)
The room, although more on the smallish size, was perfectly clean and had everything we needed. In fact I can’t remember the last time I was in a hotel this clean. It smelt beautiful and everything was immaculate – we were told the hotel is brand new so this probably helped; hopefully they’ll be able to keep it this nice. The mattress was SO comfortable. The booking.com page suggested the only thing available in the room would be toilet paper, but there was everything we needed: towels, toiletries, hair dryer, good size mirrors, TV, kettle, tea and coffee (we didn’t need these but for for the same of completeness: there was no iron and no little biscuits though:)). The location of the hotel was perfect for Olympia, very easy walking distance, and really quiet as it’s on a side street, so we had an excellent sleep both nights we were there. Due to rushing to an event, we ended up not having breakfast at the hotel so I can’t comment on the food, but the restaurant area looked very lovely and inviting. The staff were utterly charming and polite, especially the gentleman who checked us in the evening of the 15th Nov (whose name we didn’t ask for 🙁 apologies), and Vivek who checked us out very early on the morning of 17th Nov.
