Lovely clean hotel. Good checkin, quiet, comfortable bed. Room on the compact side but youre only in it for a short time. Bar/restaurant really relaxing and an added bonus of the ourdoor area to view aircraft

Bit shabby around the edges, but a good nights sleep and a fantastic buffet breakfast. Very convenient for the Pod, but it’s an expensive option

Overnight stay
Great room for an overnight stay.
Spacious,clean and staff attentive.
Nice hot water for a bath.
The cost of the pod to get there from terminal 5 is ridiculous at £8 each.

Convenient
Convenient airport hotel exactly as described and good value if you don’t want to slash out on the more high-end options. Easy to access the terminal using the pods (£8 per person) and ideal for late or early flights. Small shop in reception for snacks etc. Would stay again.

A very clean and friendly hotel to stay in. You wouldn't even know that you are so close to the planes coming in. You could see them land from a balcony from the bar.
The bed is very comfortable. The ride in the pod make this stay more fun.
