The hotel is located in a convenient location to LHR and the Pods provide easy, affordable access to the airport. Check-in for me was easy but only 10 min later there was a line 6 people deep and only one (poor) guy at the front desk. Another man and I went to buy beverages and food from the shop but the payment machine was out of service. I was standing in line to pay at the front desk when a worker came to let me know that I couldn't pay for the items that way, only through the machine, so I needed to put the items back. ??? When I got back to my room I saw the order online or via phone menu, but soon learned this too was out of service. I also had a very limited toilet paper roll with no extra roll anywhere in the room. By the time I left in the morning, I was using Kleenex from my backpack anytime I went to the toilet.

Conveniently located near T5 pods for easy access to Heathrow Terminal 5. The hotel is old, run down and in serious need of upgrades and room renovations. Dining options are limited. Staff were not particularly helpful and messed up our booking. OK for a one night stay to get you where you need to go.
