Hotel Details

Location

Olympia Inn sits in the heart of Kensington, a 3-minute walk from Earl's Court Tube station and less than 1 km from the Natural History Museum.
Earl's Court station (District and Piccadilly lines) is three minutes away, providing direct access to central London and Heathrow Airport. The hotel is on a busy road near a police station and hospital, so street noise and occasional sirens can be audible. The surrounding neighbourhood is quiet and family-friendly, with many restaurants, cafes, supermarkets (Tesco Express), and shops within a short stroll. Major museums including the Victoria & Albert, Natural History, and Science Museum are all less than 1 km away, and Kensington High Street is within easy walking distance.

Accommodation

Compact, recently refurbished rooms with en suite bathrooms, kettles, and city views, some with raised beds for under-bed luggage storage.
Rooms are compact but efficiently designed, especially in the refurbished single rooms where the bed is raised to store luggage underneath the bed. All rooms include a private bathroom with a shower (bath or shower type), an electric kettle with tea/coffee, a TV, a wardrobe, and toiletries. The refurbished rooms are clean and modern, while some rooms in older sections may show signs of wear (e.g., stiff windows, carpets under renovation). Noise from the busy road and nearby emergency services can be an issue in front-facing or basement rooms, so a rear-facing upper-floor room is preferable for lighter sleepers. The hotel has a lift for easier access to upper floors.

Dining

The hotel does not serve breakfast or have a restaurant, but a wide selection of eateries and cafes are within a two-minute walk.
There is no breakfast or restaurant on site. Each room has a kettle with tea and coffee. A vending machine in reception offers water and snacks. The immediate area around Earl's Court station has numerous options: Joe & the Juice (0.5 km), Black Rabbit Cafe (0.5 km), La Pappardella (0.5 km), The Pembroke (0.5 km), and Starbucks (0.5 km). Several more restaurants and takeaway options line the streets nearby, making it easy to plan any meal outside the hotel.

Wellness and Leisure

No wellness or leisure facilities are available on site; the hotel is best suited as a base for exploring London.
Olympia Inn does not have a pool, spa, gym, or any wellness centre. The compact rooms and lack of leisure amenities mean the property serves primarily as a convenient, budget-friendly base for sightseeing, business, or short stays. The nearby area offers parks, museums, and other leisure attractions within walking distance.

Facilities and Services

Free Wi-Fi (in rooms and public areas), 24-hour reception, free luggage storage, daily housekeeping, and room service.
Wi-Fi is available free of charge in both public areas and rooms, although some upper-floor rooms may experience slower connections. The 24-hour front desk can assist with late arrivals, taxis, and parcel deliveries. Luggage storage is free and available before check-in and after check-out, using a monitored area with CCTV. Daily housekeeping is included and fresh towels are provided. The hotel has a lift for convenience and accepts cash and all major credit cards. No parking or airport shuttle is offered.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book a room on an upper floor and away from the road if sensitivity to street noise is a concern.

  • 02

    Request a fan at check-in if staying during warmer months, as the air conditioning is not working.

  • 03

    Use the free luggage storage service to drop bags before check-in (from 15:00) or after check-out (by 10:00) to explore the area unencumbered.

  • 04

    Confirm any specific room requests (e.g. a top-floor room, a refurbished room) directly with the hotel before arrival.
