It is very convenient to either take the local bus or the POD to the hotel. A lot of stress is removed worrying about how much time you need to get to airport. Just a few minutes on the POD. We use the hotel as our first night sleep then off and about. Departing is just made more simple this way. You can ride train from the airport into the city.

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!

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.

Clean and comfortable but awkward location.

I needed a place to stay at Terminal five for an early flight to Madrid. The room was clean and quiet with lots of pillows and nothing thread-bare. My only complaint is that it was not clear when I booked that this hotel is not actually right at Terminal 5. This would have been acceptable if there had been an up-front account of the "pod" service when I booked, and where to find it at the terminal. I did not know about this, and waited for half an hour for a London transit bus which a MArks and Spencers employee advised me about. I used the pod service on the return. It cost eight pounds, but was fun because I had never used such a transit device before. If I ever need to use Terminal five again, I would consider this place because it is good value for money, but I might be tempted to stay at a hotel right at the airport, even if it is not at the right terminal.

Good price and reasonable bed comfort wise but the fixtures and fittings in the room were old and tired. Looked like 1980’s bathroom and bedroom furniture. I didn’t stay for breakfast as I left too early. The pods are fun but overpriced and you don’t save money per person if there is more than one person using the pods.
