My stay at Nox Olympia was quite a mix of experiences. The rooms, while small, were clean and had everything I needed, but I faced some issues that left me disappointed. The staff were friendly but slow to respond at times, and the breakfast, while reasonably priced, could have offered a wider selection.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The hotel was in a great location, very close to Olympia, which made accessing the exhibition center easy. While my room was clean and had basic amenities, it was on the smaller side, and the walls were quite thin, which made for a somewhat disrupted night’s sleep. The staff were friendly and attentive, providing helpful service, and I appreciated the reasonably priced breakfast, although it could have been a bit warmer.

I had a decent stay at Nox Olympia, primarily due to its great location and accommodating staff.

The room was a bit small, but the amenities and cleanliness were satisfactory overall.

Breakfast options were decent, with a mix of continental and hot offerings. However, I found the cooked food to often be lukewarm. The value was reasonable for £7.50, but I wish the quality was better.

The hotel offered modern facilities, but I did experience a frustrating issue with the lift that was broken throughout part of my stay. The shower had strong water pressure, which was a nice perk, though.

My stay at Nox Olympia had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic for easy access to the Olympia Exhibition Centre, which was a highlight. The cleanliness of my room was commendable, and the bed was quite comfortable, but the noise levels from the reception area made it hard to get a good night's sleep. Overall, it was an average experience, with some significant room for improvement.

I couldn't have asked for a better location, as it was just a two-minute walk to the Olympia Tube station, making it convenient for getting around London. Though, it was a bit challenging coming back to the hotel in the rain while checking out.
