Great hotel, nice comfortable room, views of aircraft brilliant. Food and drink pricey but in line with others. Parking for overnight guests £18 this is not fair as staying 3 nights adds a lot to the cost of the stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Definitely not a fav place I’ve stayed at and won’t stay again. Before arriving I asked for a quiet room due to suffering insomnia. When I arrived I asked for a quiet room again. Got room 203. A bathroom vent which was extremely noisy kept me awake to 4 am ! Exactly the opposite of what I desperately needed. Had about 3.5 hours sleep before heading down for breakfast and getting the hell out. Reception staff seemed friendly enough but I’m not happy that my requests were not met. Especially as I paid to get upgraded to a king room and this hotel isnt at the terminal.You need to use the pods to get there ( easy though) Also they do a limited room service menu but only from 2.30-22. As I had flight delays there was no food other than a self service kiosk that sold snacks. A bar was open but wasn’t what I needed. Not convenient. Room wasn’t that clean ( few marks on the pillows) noisy bathroom vent and wasn’t rested or happy when I left!

If you need no frills, basic one night stay over hotel, this is it. Bus 423 from stand 6 outside terminal 5 gets you straight here for £1.75. Room is standard, walls are not soundproof. You can hear the planes which is cool and in the restaurant uou can see them take off. Nothing soecial about chrck in, there is no lift. So if you have heavy luggage request a room on the ground floor
