I thought this hotel was excellent value for money. My daughter thought our tiny room was verging on daughter abuse. But she agreed that it was clean and quiet. Good points: very convenient to Earl's Court tube station, good restaurants in the area, a grocery on the way to the tube station, quiet street, quite good Continental breakfast, clean and safe (all incomers must show a room key, and no guests allowed past the reception area) and very friendly staff. Bad points: the hotel is a bit shabby in the public areas (duct tape on the stairs, paint not quite fresh) and the cramped rooms. Oh, and the web page says that there's internet access in the public areas. I was able to get a signal, but I wasn't able to get online. This hotel seems to be quite popular with US universities who have short-term courses in London, as the majority of the guests while we were there were from two US universities.

During the Half Term holidays, thought it would be good to take my 13 year old to London and do the sightseeing thing. Found this hotel via internet search and booked. Paid ?39.00 for the twin room (no breakfast included, that was an extra ?5.00 each). I was not expecting much due to the price and the fact that London hotels are usually so expensive. To be honest the room was Small but functional, the bathroom was compact (thats the nice word for it), you have to use the toilet side saddle as you can not sit straight due to a wall being in the way. The shower was OK. The hotel itself is in need of a makeover however you do not spend much time there, so no real issue. For ?39.00 a night this place is a bargain. The beds are OK the rooms, small they may be but are fine for one or two nights. The hotel is very close to Earls Court Underground Station. My tip is to use the Warwick Road exit (opposite the exhibition centre) turn right out of station and take next road on right, the hotel is about 250 meters on left. All in all a nice little find and ?39 cant be bad. If you can get booked go for it.

I stayed at the Oliver Plaza Hotel for 4 days. I chose the hotel for its cheap price and location. It's a cheap hotel more 1 star than 3 star. However, it wasn't horrible the room and bathroom was decent. I didn't have breakfast there as you have to pay 5GBP. The location excellent. The Hotel is in a great area-it's within walking distance of the underground, local and franchise restaurants, as well as at least 3 supermarkets and one open 24hours. If your looking for a cheap hotel in a great location I highly recommend this hotel. The location and price can't be beat. The Earl's Court area was rich in diversity of peoples and foods. If you stay there try the local places for a real English breakfast, or how about some Thai for lunch, and maybe Indian or Lebanonese for dinner. It was relatively safe-as two girls traveling and walking about at night we didn't get harassed. The area is also a good mix of tourist and locals. The added bonus is that police officers are always posted near the underground.

If you are looking for an affordable, quite and conveniently localed accomodation in central London, Oliver plaza could be an excellent choice.It is situated at 3 minutes walk from Earls court train station and village. The area is clean, safe and plenty of very good restaurants and clubs. We stayed for a weekend in a double room, clean but extremely small. If you have a big luggage you won't be able to move around, or close the door. Do not expect staff being friendly though. No one said "welcome, good morning or thank you".
