Very good

He was a perfect home away from home with the basics you need to warm up food cigarette to eat plates, cups, coffee, maker, tea maker, and just clean and comfortable room
Great location and exceptionally clean room. Perfect for my stay. The only downside was the last night patrons across from the room and the floor below slamming doors, running up and down the stairs, playing loud music and making so much noise into 4 AM, treating the establishment like a fraternity dorm. The downside of such a hotel is that it’s impossible to address rowdy patrons as it happens. This situation notwithstanding the rooms were perfect for my stay.

Room was sufficent for my needs. Have already passed on my advice to Bob W.
Really enjoyed my stay at Bob W London Olympia! Clean and compact room that’s just enough for two people. Despite being central, I found that it was quiet and relaxing at night, offering a real home-away-from-home feel. Walking distance to a bus stop and tube station which is a plus!
Only note for anyone staying here is that if you’re using Vodafone, be aware that the mobile signal around the hotel can be quite weak, which might make the online check-in a bit tricky. However, once you're close to the entrance, you can easily connect to the hotel’s Wi-Fi using the password provided in your check-in instructions so that makes it easy to check-in!
Included all amenities we would need. Very comfortable bed and clean.

Location was great, close to the train station. Property was very hot, window only opened a crack but they were responsive & let us know where a fan was that we could use. Just a bit cramped for us.
It was really nice and included a lot such as a mini fridge, utensils, water, coffee and tea. I’d say the only issue I found was the dryer didn’t really dry and there was light construction but other than that great stay
Everything was great, I would definitely return! Very convenient online check-in and easy arrival, and the bed was one of the best in a while. Thank you Bob!

A short stay is okay.
The place was very clean and that was great. The bed was comfortable, wonderful. Communication was good. Now, If you are from the USA then the place is too small. No table to rest your food or anything else. No chair to sit other that on the bed. It is good for overnight or the weekend stay, not for a 10 days vacation.
Used WhatsApp to communicate with Bob the host, and he was very attentive. We enjoyed our stay very much. Great location for tourists as it is closed to the Kensington Olympia underground station.
Efficient hotel in a great location.
Unfortunately my room was extremely hot (end of April), a fan was provided which alleviated it to some degree.

I didn’t like that we could hear everybody in the hallway and also that it was really really hot on the lower ground floor. But I loved the neighborhood!
Perfect area for transportation like bus or train stations 3 minutes walking from bus or tube station. Kensington is a nice area. bob communicated so fast with me. Great amenities for price and place. Would recommend your stay w bob
elevator was broken the entire time, came into a clogged sink in the bathroom that took the team a day to fix, and little black bugs that I reported to the team but they didn't seem too concerned about. Even found some of the bugs in my skincare when I came home. Very loud interior, little to no sound proofing, could hear the neighbors child yelling "LE TOILET" all night. I feel very ripped off by the price I paid.
