A very tired and very impractical layout hotel. No lift, even after years of people's comments on various review sites. No downstairs rooms were available so we had to drag our heavy luggage up flights of stairs, with no offer of help. We arrived at 10pm to be told bar closed due to maintenence. The novelty of the Heathrow Pod transport has worn off, especially at over £16 per person return to T5! Never again..

The hotel is close to the airport and that is all it is good for. We had a friendly welcome and our room was outside of the main hotel in an annexe. We had two random phone calls, which I assume was reception but nobody spoke. Not an ideal situation when you have a 4-30 start in the morning. Probably wouldn't stay there again.

Disliked: Amenities
Stayed overnight, the room was very far from the entrance and they were in the process of changing the carpets in the corridors so it was very dusty. I was told they upgraded my room to a deluxe room…however it was a very basic room. The best thing was using the Heathrow pod to go from and to the airport - $16.50 pounds in total.

Warm welcome at check-in. Room perfect. Other guests could be a bit noisy in the corridor but not the fault of hotel. POD transport very convenient if a little premium compared to 423 bus. Restaurant food was good. Will stay again.

No lift at the property so appreciated reception changing us to a room on the ground floor as would have struggled carrying 2 x 23kg cases upstairs. Rooms feel compact and bed seemed a little old and worn but were clean and sufficiently comfortable for our 1 night stay; bathrooms look to have had bath sealant recently renewed and wooden bath panels recently painted but are a little dated in terms of fixtures and fittings. Paid extra for breakfast and it was excellent; lots of breakfast choices (hot and cold) well presented and quality ingredients. Location was convenient for Heathrow T5.
