An easy start to an early flight
Ideal for a morning flight from Heathrow Terminal 5. Far more relaxed than rushing across London on the day. The pod transfer to the airport is very easy and convenient.

Overnight stay before flight !
Room clean and a good size, standard room bed felt pretty small and not super comfortable.
Bathroom had a bath which was great. Shower pretty good.
Room and hotel felt a little tired.
Location was excellent and fun to get to from T 5 on the Heathrow pods.
Burger and club sandwich was excellent, bar and restaurant very nice.
Front office staff very friendly.

Good but basic, take ear defenders.
Parking was VERY expensive, £18 for 12hrs. I KNOW it’s next to the airport but I’m sure that the glass was just ultra thin, it provided no noise reduction at all. Lifts were out of order (luckily not an issue for us).

A standard airport hotel. It was reasonably priced, with lots of parking. Rooms weren’t spacious, but only staying for one night. We would return.

The hotel is very convenient for Heathrow Terminal 5; the building looks generally a bit tired and in need of a makeover and update. But it was clean and warm and there was virtually no noise from the nearby terminal planes.

Give a pod a go
Just used as an overnight for early flight. Did use the pods to get to the terminal which was the highlight really.

Quiet Stay Close to T5
Chose this hotel because it was close to Terminal 5. The price quoted, without breakfast, was very reasonable. I decided to take the 10 minute bus ride from T5 at £1.75 instead of the pod at £8 and that was fine as the bus stopped outside the hotel. Check-in was quick and the staff were very helpful.
There was no lift so I had to carry my suitcase up one floor to my room. The room was on the small size but fine for just me for one night. It was very clean and the double bed very comfortable.
The bathroom was slotless but the sink had no plug, which was disappointing.
In the morning I decided to pay for breakfast. It was advertised at £15 but I was charged £12. The breakfast options were good - continental or cooked with a good selection of food and drink.
All the staff were polite and attentive, the hotel was cleanand the room quiet. For a o e night stay before catching a flight, this hotel was excellent value for money.

Location could be better
Ok for what we needed it for, not as close to the airport as you may think, bus ride required
