Clean & welcoming, with friendly & efficient staff, the hotel is ideally situated for Terminal 5. The pod was new to us, but was easy to use & again, it was an efficient service.

The hotel is outdated but location is great if you need easy access to Heathrow Airport. A local bus stops right outside the hotel. The food in hotel dining room is fine since there are not many choices nearby within walking distance.
Staff very helpful , room basic but clean .
Restaurant and bar very good and price's very good .
Also having use of the pod from hotel to airport terminal very convenient.
Would use hotel again .
The lobby area was clean and self check in was easy to navigate, however our room had black mold in the bathroom and the pillows/mattress were extremely uncomfortable. It’s too bad the rooms didn’t compare to the nice lobby.
Very basic hotel, no room service during my stay and no bottle opener in room. Staff were pleasant and OK for overnight stay near airport but nothing special.
