Hotel 65 and Annex

Gute Lage, aber das Zimmer war schmutzig. Wir hatten eine Kakerlake im Bett und Haare auf der Decke, das Leintuch war schmutzig.Flecken an der Zimmerdecke und das Bad war nicht sehr sauber. Das Personal war nett, wir konnten das Zimmer wechseln. Es war aber nicht viel besser. Ausserdem sehr laut (Strasse). Bim Frühstück war riesen Stress und wir mussten auf einen Tisch warten..

Am Montag kamen wir um fünf Uhr morgens in London an, konnten unsere Koffer aber trotzdem im Hotel lassen (und uns bei einer Tasse Tee erholen). Von unserem Zimmer waren wir bei der niedrigen Preisklasse sehr positiv überrascht. Es war trotz Lage an einer größeren Straße ziemlich ruhig, sehr sauber (das Bad wurde komplett täglich gereinigt) und ziemlich geräumig. Die Ausstattung ist klasse, es gibt sogar Wasserkocher und Fön. Man bekommt täglich neue, frische Handtücher. Die Mitarbeiter des Hotels waren stets freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück ist im Preis inbegriffen und beinhaltet warme Getränke, Toast, Marmelade, Käse und Cornflakes. Das Hotel liegt zwischen zwei großen U-Bahn-Stationen (Shepdherd's Bush und Hammersmith). Alles in allem würden wir bei unserem nächsten Aufenthalt in London wieder dieses Hotel wählen, das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist einfach unschlagbar.

I arrived at the hotel approximately at 2.00 am. The at the reception gave me a card on which both room no. and building no. were written. Before I made my reservation, I had read from the internet that the rooms facing the main street might be too noisy for guests who are sensitive and who have sleeping problem. For this reason I sent an e-mail to the hotel and requested a quiet room. Before getting the card, I asked the room clerk whether the room was quiet or not. He said "the room was quiet." By walking through the main street I finally reached the room. It was at the last floor of the building. I hardly opened the door. The room was very small. This was not a problem since I already knew that. What bothered me was: The room was used and it was not cleaned. Besides, the room was facing the main street and I could easily hear engine and wheel sounds of the vehicles passing thtough the street. I was so tired that I didn’t go to the reception again. The next day, I got up (in fact I slept only a few hours) and went to reception again. There was a young lady wearing eyeglasses at the reception. I told her everything. She apologised several times and promised to change my room. My room was changed that that, and the new room was really perfect compared to the previous one. It was bigger, clean, quiet and new-decorated room. The next three days, I enjoyed my stay in the hotel. The breakfast was enough, but breakfast time is very early. It ends at 9 am. The location is good. There is a bus stop in front of the hotel and there are three undergrand stations by 5 minutes walk. Considering the room rate, I prefer to stay in this hotel if they give me the same room.

The place is really a bunch of townhouses converted into single room hospitality services. More like student hostels. The room was tiny. No room for luggage, coats (hanger above the bed). Shower was so small had to shut off water and open the door to wash my feet. Staff was friendly and relative to London prices the cost was OK.

Nous avons réservé pour 2 nuits, à notre arrivée, on ns explique que nous allons avoir 1 chambre différente pour chaque nuit car celle que nous avons pour la 1ère nuit a un problème dans la salle de bains mais l'hotel est complet. En arrivant dans la chambre; catastrophe. Il y a une fuite d'eau dans la salle de bains, l'eau goutte du plafond dans la douche, le rideau de douche ne tient pas, le mobilier est vétuste. Toute la nuit nous avons entendu l'eau tombée du plafond. Nous avons donc râlé et le lendemain nous avons eu une chambre refait à neuf pour 3 pers au lieu de 2 avec kitchenette, télé écran plat; superbe chambre. Donc si vous réservez, demandez une chambre refaite et ne donnant pas sur la rue. A quelques minutes de marche, il y a le métro pour rejoindre le centre de Londres. Hammersmith ou Shepers Bush sont des quartiers sympas avec pubs agréables, restos indiens très bons!

I checked my heavy bag at Heathrow and easily walked the ten minutes from the Hammersmith tube station to the hotel. I was bumped from my earlier flight from Paris, so arrived late at the hotel to a smelly single room, with no window to open.. But despite the "fully booked" sign on the front door, the receptionist found me a double room, which was fine other than having no closet, with the clothes rack hanging over the other half of the double bed. Breakfast was simple but sufficient. Altogether, a good value for the price.

This hotel would have received a higher rating until I checked out. Upon arriving at my next destination where I found I had left an item of clothing behind the bathroom door. Called numerous times always getting the run-around and being told they would get back to me. NEVER HAPPENED. Beware of leaving anything behind.

The hotel was very good for me traveling alone as a woman. I also felt safe there ; including the location. Once you know where you actually are, the busses and the trains were perfect for traveling. The staff was super friendly and the Internet was included, which kept me in touch with my family. Restaurants across the street, the biggest mall about 6 blocks away, a supermarket 1 block away and a bus stop outside of the hotel. Biggest value was the breakfast with an army of girls to serve you. I did get a peaceful rest every night and yes, I would definitely stay there again for the value and peace of mind.

As a student on a budget the Hotel 65 met my needs perfectly. The staff did everything possible to meet my needs & make me comfortable. They were friendly, courteous, & helpful with everything from room issues to getting directions to local sites. Would definitely recommend.

We stayed at hotel for a three nights; clean, friendly staff, free breakfast, free internet access in the hallway. Rooms are small, but clean. I would recommend this hotel for young travelers, with restricted budget.
