ibis budget London Hounslow

Personable and helpful staff; compact but efficiently designed rooms with a few surprising bonus features (e.g. room lights can be controlled from the bed, convenient roll down shades, window can be opened for fresh air, large towels); only negative is sketchy area Hounslow; exceeded expectations for a budget hotel - Bottom line: Would stay again!

Good transportation services within an easy walk; two Piccadilly tube stations within 15 minute walk (Hounslow Central and Hounslow Central) of hotel. Bell bus stop is just across the street from the front door. Two other bus stops within a few minutes walk. Tesco grocery store next door, next is a pizza/chicken place followed by a Quality Foods store. I highly recommend the ASDA (much nicer) grocery store which is located just behind the pedestrian street shops on the walk to the Hounslow East tube stop. Many small places to grab a bite nearby with a couple of good pubs in the area. Room was a bit small but sliding bags under the bed was a life saver. Nice sized shower with good hot water supply, useful corner desk and a flat screen TV with good selection of channels make up the room. Room was clean. It appears the hotel is used by school and tourist groups but noise was NEVER a problem. They offer breakfast for additional charge. 24/7 free tea available in the dining area. 24/7 coffee, latte, etc also available for 2 pounds. The neighborhood might put some people off as is dominated by SE Asian culture. Personally, I loved it and had absolutely no problems, night or day. All in all, hotel is a good value. I'd readily stay there again next time I am in London.

The hotel was sufficient for our needs as we we stayed for 1 night. The room was spacious enough for 2 people. The shower and sink area was clean as well as the bedding. It's a short walk to Hounslow Central underground station with a Tesco Express right next door. Plus many food outlets about 1 or 2 minutes walk away. The area is safe enough. Just use common sense when walking around as with any other area of London. We would stay here again.
