Perfect for basic stay for LHR T5
Perfectly cheap and cheerful for an overnighter before an early-ish flight from LHR T5. Very basic and a little tired, but had all you needed - shower and a clean bed - for a quick stopover. Breakfast was very nice and when factored into the room cost (£15 each if purchased on site) made the stay an absolute bargain. Local 423 bus only 2 stops to/from airport, stops right outside the hotel. Will definitely stay again!

Convenient place to stay
Clean and quiet room for one night stay before going to Heathrow Terminal 5 for early morning flight. The biggest advantage of this hotel is the pod that transport you from the parking lot behind to the hotel to terminal 5. Rooms were tidy but simple. It does the job of quick stay before going to the airport.

Decent stay
Easy access to terminal 5 but no lift and the bathroom made a gurgling noise which was from the other rooms when they flushed the toilet or ran the shower

Good hotel and reasonable price. Helpful staff. Good location for Heathrow airport. The hotel uses ‘pods’ to transport guests from the airport to the hotel, but it appears that this is an additional cost which I wasn’t aware of when booking.

Good stay
Comfortable. I thought the hotel was actually in the Terminal Building so was a bit disappointed that it needed a bus ride to get there from the Terminal. Apart from that everything was good. I especially enjoyed the view of the runway from the Aviator restaurant.

Convenient hotel for terminal 5
Stayed here overnight before travelling from terminal 5. It is extremely convenient as you can use the "Pod" to travel quickly to the terminal which is quick. No waiting around for buses and you get your own personal pod to whisk you overhead to the terminal.
I thought the hotel had been smartened up since our last visit. The evening meal was pretty good and not expensive.
