Awesome hotel with great airport view from the bar

Stayed the night before an early morning flight and it was ideal. Stayed here twice now and would again.

handy for T5 heathrow

very handy for terminal 5 and with the POD to take you to the hotel. The room was ok but the bathroom was very small but for a night or two its ok.

Exactly what I needed

Absolutely fantastic location and a beautiful room. I ate dinner in the restaurant and that was great too. No complaints 10 out of 10 for exactly what I needed.

Very convenient place to stay.
Stuart, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

A good pre flight hotel stopover

Overnight pre flight stay Excellent view of airport from restaurant and bar Friendly staff
Phillip, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Miss Eva Shiu Hang, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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
Louis, 1-night trip

Great hotel for overnight stay when flying the following morning. Particularly like the runway view from the bar and restaurant, ample car parking and quietness of the room

Comfortable stay at the airport
William, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Jill, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great for the price

For the price, great! Convenient to T5 via POD or bus, friendly staff, bare necessities room. If they got new mattresses it would be perfect!
Lisa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
