Great location for T5 and the POD was really easy to use. The room was small and the double bed felt smaller than a double, but the convenience of the hotel and its transport to T5 made up for it.

There is no elevator on this property and you must carry luggage up or down stairs to access any of the rooms. This was NOT noted in the booking and would be a major issue for someone with mobility issues. The downstairs rooms do not feel safe and the property overall is very old and worn. It's right by Heathrow so the plans are literally flying over the hotel and it is very loud.

Incredibly dissatisfied with our stay. Only stayed here as it was supposed to be easy to get to T5, and the Masters (golf) was on. This hotel was advertised as having sky sports and I even called up night before to check they’d have it on. I was told yes, just ask the staff to switch it on. We arrived having had a horrendous effort trying to get to the hotel.. better off in the Premier Inn. The golf wouldn’t work as they didn’t have the licence… great. Literally an advertisement outside the property saying that have sky sports. Oh.. and beers are £7! Long and short of it is if you have the money, stay in T5 (Sofitel?). Otherwise, you’re better off in the Premier Inn just up the road from this one. Will not be returning.

Terrible stay

Stayed 1 night before flying out on holiday, the room was very small and cramped. Extremely dated and dark. It was just me and my 11 year old and we struggled with the size. Beds were rock solid. Ate at the on site restaurant which was the worse thing I’ve ever eaten, safe to say went to bed hungry - they also kept pushing a wine offer for a bottle of wine. I was a solo adult???
