Hellenic Hotel by Saba

ho soggiornato in questa struttura.. eravamo in cinque 1 doppie e una tripla. Ci hanno sistemato in due strutture diverse . La camera doppia minuscola 44A, armadio ad 1 anta nulla dove appoggiare valigie o borsoni.... Bagno veramente piccolo impossibile muoversi se non aprendo la porta. Specchio per chi è altro 2 metri....Quando siamo arrivati c'era un detersivo spry nel lavello e per terra macchie ..... per cui non era stato pulito. Ovviamente le foto pubblicate delle camere non sono lontanamente quelle assegnate. La colazione ?... meglio prendere camera senza perchè proprio attraversando la strada si può gustare un'ottima colazione ... Pulizia???'su quattro notti il letto non è mai stato rifatto ma solo coperto ..... asciugamani per fortuna li buttavo a terra altrimenti 1 asciugamano per tutto il soggiorno. Ovviamente niente asciugamano per viso .... 1 a testa per tutto. Torniamo alla colazione.....su ordinazione uova strapazzate con fagioli... bacon nemmeno l'ombra, Pane tostato sempre su ordinazione e c'erano le piccole confetture di marmellate e burro, yogurt, succo . Niente piatti ma veniva fornito insieme al pane tostato o se si prendevano le uova. Macchina del caffè ....e cappuccino. Ogni tanto sul piano della colazioni c'erano delle blatte.... che passeggiavano....Posizione buona vicino Metro Hammersmith facile da raggiungere con una passeggiata. Buona la zona servita da pub- caffetterie ed anche ....sicura. Mentre esperienza hotel pessima......

Abbiamo prenotato l’Hellenic hotel ci hanno dato la camera nell’edificio a fianco, il Melandre hotel. Si tratta più che di hotel di bed&breakfast ma molto funzionali e visto il buon prezzo per gli standard di Londra ottimo per soggiornare un paio di gg. Camera tripla piccola ma carina con vetrata all’inglese, bagno privato piccolo ma con una bella doccia. La colazione inclusa nel prezzo (cosa rara per Londra) è a base di toast, uova, marmellata, bevande calde e poco altro. Ma di fronte l’hotel si trova un locale Gail’s con brioche di ogni tipo. Inoltre sempre di fronte l’hotel c’è la fermata di vari autobus comoda per raggiungere varie destinazioni compreso Gatwick. La metro è a circa 10 minuti ma si può raggiungere con 2 fermate di autobus.

Absolutely terrible. Bed was like concrete, only 1 pathetic pillow. The window does not reduce the sound of the main road outside you might as well have it open. The heating system was loudly gurgling all night, it made no difference if I turned the radiator off or not. There was no TV remote so I went to reception and asked if they had one. They gave me 2 different ones to try, neirher worked. I asked for an extra pillow and was told they didn’t have any. The only good thing about this hotel is the location as it’s near the office I work at. It’s near some nice restaurants too.

Check in was easy and straightforward. Friendly receptionist. Room: Very outdated but looks like they started updating the bathroom but not finished. Bathroom has no loo roll holder, the light above the mirror hasn't been replaced and has wires sticking out the wall. Lovely tiles and nice shower. No hand towel or bath mat as they don't leave these apparently. Bedroom again basic and outdated but beds ok. Could do with extra pillows and towels so you don't have to walk to the other building to get some. Breakfast, not many options but enough to fill your belly. There was porridge, cereal, yoghurt, fresh fruit, orange juice, coffee machine. Also asked if you want toast, eggs and beans. Can't grumble. Staff were brilliant. Be aware, there are multiple buildings so you won't necessarily be in the building you checked in. This can be a pain when going to breakfast or you need something from reception (especially if weather is grim).

The hotel had everything we needed and was well located close to Hammersmith and Shepherds Bush tube stations. The rooms were spacious in comparison to other London budget hotels. The breakfast was surprisingly good! The staff were friendly and helpful. We were able to store our luggage there the day we arrived. The only negative was the shower pressure that was quite low (our room was on the third floor) and no bath mat or hand towels were provided.

Dirty, old, dingy, unkempt, rough, disappointing, uncomfortable, noisy, small.....are just a few of the words I would use to describe my stay at the hotel and the hotel itself. OMG....I cannot believe I actually paid to stay here. If you have any doubts on whether you should book, I would advise you not too. We checked in and was sent down the street to another building. If would have been more comfortable sleeping on a pile of rocks, I kid you not. Breakfast, well it would have been more appetising to eat said rocks. Shower took 10 minutes to heat up. Facities are just, well i have no words to descrobe. Honestly, disgusting. We did not eat, or drink there, yuk!. This is more like a one star hotel than a 3! I have stayed in 5 star hotels and I have stayed in 3 star hotels and I tell you this is not a 3 star hotel. It was for 1 night as we needed to be in Hammersmith early and train strikes prevented travel so a 3 star was fine with us, however this should not be a 3 star. Please stay away and don't waste your money.
