little doubt in saying the time

For example.. if it's 6:35. Do I say без двадцати пяти семь or just
без двадцать пяти семь?

"без двадцат́и пят́и" is right.

Спасибо!!

I have one more question, though:

If someone asks "Когда вы встаёте?" and I have to answer "I get up at 6:45", is it correct to say "Я встаю без четверти семь"? What are other ways of saying that? Perhaps "без пятнадцати семь", right? But there must be something more colloquial...

Shouldn't that be, Я встаю без четверти в семь?

"без пятнадцати семь" (more colloquial) = "без четверти семь".

or "Я встаю в шесть сорок пять". - in spoken language
