I heard about Hotel 63 in London from persons on this forum
I would describe it as more of a B&B than a hotel. I believe that it has 16 rooms. and a very interesting history.
Hotel 63 is at 63 Bayswater Road, an excellent location.
It is right across the street from Kensington Gardens. It is a block or two away from Lancaster Gate Station and a reasonable walk to Paddington Station. Besides the tube, there are numerous bus lines on the street.
Prices are reasonable and include a small but decent continental breakfast. There is a slight variety every day and plenty to eat. The breakfast includes fruit, cereals, sweets, breads, cheese, jams and jellies, coffee tea and juices.
Many restaurants in the area.
Staff is super helpful and super nice.
There is good TV service and internet service for the most part.
Being on a tight budget, I booked the smallest room at the "cheapest" price for five nights but was forced to add on a night when my airline decided to fly me in a. day early. I had to add on a small room but a larger one for a higher price.
The first room that i stayed in was ok but I was also paying paying 130 pounds for this room being.a Saturday night in London. Everything worked fine. I had everything that I needed. I believe that had a view of the street or the Gardens from the window but can not remember.
But the second room that I had was not terribly nice. This was the smallest room at the "cheapest" price I appeared to have gotten a very good deal when I booked this room.
The room was on a landing. I believe that i was considered to be on the first floor but it was a stand alone room. I had to go to the second floor and walk down steps to the landing that my room was on. The other option was to go to the first floor and then to walk up a steep flight of stairs to get to the landing that my room was on. I was sort of in between floor one and two.
The room was extremely small and that was ok but the window overlooked an alley and trash bins.
Wi Fi did not always work in this room and I had to go to the lobby to use the Wi Fi which then worked fine.
TV did not work ok at first but it did improve.
Although a very small and not particularly attractive room, I did have evrything that I needed.
Location was still great. Breakfast and staff were more than ok.
In walking by other rooms, I noticed some were very pretty and attractive. They were well located within the B&B with lovely windows and nice views.
I would not recommend the smallest, "cheapest" room that I stayed in unless necessary.
If possible and within your budget, I would highly recommend one of the larger rooms.
