No shuttle
Stayed for one night before returning to United States. Room was large and clean and comfortable. Very long hallways and walk from reception to room. Could be hard for low mobility. Did not find the pub very friendly. They have the monorail to terminal 5 only. I ended up taking an Uber to my terminal.

Surprised that there was no lift to upper floors or to restaurant on 2nd floor. Something to note for next visit!

The pod transit was efficient and fun. The pathway through the carpark was a bit underwhelming. And the lack or an elevator in the hotel does let you down.

Comfortable, but dated rooms
Hotel is comfortable, with a nice bar, however the rooms are a little dated and could do with modernising. Fantastic for pre flight stays, and the pod cars to the airport are a brilliant addition.

Fine for an overnight
Quick and easy check in, helpful staff to pre purchase the pod transfer to Heathrow T5. Fine room for a night before an early flight, shame the rooms aren't soundproofed.

Great budget hotel
Just stayed the one night when
Picking up family member from terminal 5 and had an early start. The room was adequate for this reason and had no issues and would use again for this purpose.
Found the restaurant good and service was quick

Perfect place to stay to catch an flight from Heathrow the following day. Reception was friendly and when I checked out they told me about a direct pod that takes them from their hotel to the airport in 5 min. This was perfect since I didn’t want to walk to a bus station alone at 6 in the morning

Reliable airport stay
As usual, this was a good, reliable stay. Rooms we had were clean and comfortable enough for an overnight stay before an early flight. We ate in the newly renovated bar and restaurant watching the planes take off. Food was good.

Getting to the hotel from the terminal was a little confusing at first until I went online and followed the directions on the Hotel's website. I was surprised that a hotel full of people travelling was only accepting card payments and no cash (which is all I had), so as a result I was not able to order dinner or properly pay for the Pod from the airport to the hotel. I ended up having to leave the premises and walking past the Premier Inn to the McDonalds to go get dinner. The room was small and the safe provided in the room did not lock. The toilet could have been cleaned a little better, but overall the accommodation was perfectly average. Clean, neat, ordered and the staff were helpful and easy to talk to. The breakfast (which was included in my booking) was also very good and reflected the establishment well.
