Very nice but rooms are expensive for what is on offer. Prices of drinks were Extortionate £12 for a Glass of Wine. The staff were very nice and helpful. Room basic but very clean and comfortable. The Pod to Terminal 5 is excellent

Toilet was bubbling throught our 6 hour overnight stay. There was some sort of sewage smell outside in the main car park that was coming from the building. Otherwise an ok hotel.

Great hotel, shame no lift

The room was very pleasant and comfortable with a great bed. My only problem with the hotel was that it has no lift so I had to manhandle my heavy suitcase upstairs to my first floor room. Otherwise I thought it was a great hotel.

functional but, drab no frills

Not sure I’d choose here again. Easy for Heathrow though. Warm/hot water from the cold tap. No fridges in room for medication. comfy Bed but very tired room. No lifts in the hotel. Bar ok basic pub food available. Empty glasses all over corridors. Endless drab corridors between rooms. Overpriced shop on site; £4 for a small bottle of water! 25 quid for a bottle of wine that is 9 from Sainsburys! POD access was good though making it easy to T5 for 8.75 per person.

Ideal for viewing action of Heathrow, balcony terrace. Rooms 191 -195 . beware of sticky patch on wall above toilet in 195 (not my fault). Bit cramped location for urinal!. Room as a whole was good, though window slightly foggy for photographing planes flying out. (if that makes sense.)
