Warm welcome at check-in. Room perfect. Other guests could be a bit noisy in the corridor but not the fault of hotel. POD transport very convenient if a little premium compared to 423 bus. Restaurant food was good. Will stay again.

No lift at the property so appreciated reception changing us to a room on the ground floor as would have struggled carrying 2 x 23kg cases upstairs. Rooms feel compact and bed seemed a little old and worn but were clean and sufficiently comfortable for our 1 night stay; bathrooms look to have had bath sealant recently renewed and wooden bath panels recently painted but are a little dated in terms of fixtures and fittings. Paid extra for breakfast and it was excellent; lots of breakfast choices (hot and cold) well presented and quality ingredients. Location was convenient for Heathrow T5.

The hotel was very noisy. You can hear the planes all night, you need earplugs. Everything dated… so carpets don’t feel very clean even though they may have been. Otherwise good for a quick overnight.

The hotel is very old and dated. They were ripping up carpets so had to drag all my things through the carpark instead of the corridor. Toilet didn’t flush. No hairdryer. Gluten free meal made me very unwell- obviously cross contaminated which isn’t great before a long haul flight. Bed was comfortable but the rest of the hotel needs a complete overhaul.

Comfy Bed, dated decore

Very convenient for Heathrow T5 with a local bus that goes straight to the airport. The hotel room we stayed in was quite dated in terms of decor. That, said the bed was very comfortable which is great for an early mornng flight.

Property was fine. Good for a layover and early flight out of terminal 5. Pod to get to and from hotel was interesting but convenient. Ended up getting to the hotel earlier than planned but was nervous as hotel never responded to my few messages asking to confirm if there would be any issues arriving after midnight since their instructions said to confirm with hotel if you were arriving late.

Perfect for early morning flight

Perfect place to stay to catch early flight. Parked in Pod parking and quick access through gate to hotel. Back through gate in the morning and pod to terminal. Everything was clean and functional. Staff friendly. Just a little aged. Food is basic but worked well

Check in was swift and Reception staff were extremely efficient and polite. Room itself was lacking - not terribly clean, although bed was comfortable enough. None of the plug sockets worked however, which we reported to Reception. Someone came up and fixed some of the sockets, but there were still some not working, including the kettle socket. As we were only staying one night, we did not push further.
