Decent stay
Easy access to terminal 5 but no lift and the bathroom made a gurgling noise which was from the other rooms when they flushed the toilet or ran the shower

Good hotel and reasonable price. Helpful staff. Good location for Heathrow airport. The hotel uses ‘pods’ to transport guests from the airport to the hotel, but it appears that this is an additional cost which I wasn’t aware of when booking.

Lovely clean hotel. Good checkin, quiet, comfortable bed. Room on the compact side but youre only in it for a short time. Bar/restaurant really relaxing and an added bonus of the ourdoor area to view aircraft

Perfect for Heathrow Terminal 5
Ideal location for Heathrow Terminal 5. If not travelling with a car it’s easy to get the pods to and from the hotel or bus number 423.
The staff were very friendly, check in was quick and easy.

Comfortable Lay Over Stay.
Good place to rest for a layover at Heathrow. $16 and a short walk to take the hotel transport there from terminal 3. $16 Uber back to terminal 3. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. In the morning the hot water was very loud in the pipes so I feel bad for the rooms near ours that would have head it.
