Room was tired and due an upgrade, however it was clean and tidy. Dinner was great and handy to get to T5 via the pods. Pods cost £8.25 per person each way payable at reception.

Overall a good 1 night hotel. The place doesn’t have a lift which a major problem specially if you bring more than 1 piece of luggage. Majority of staff is very polite but there’s no “going the extra mile” attitude. I asked for help to bring my +10 pieces of luggage to the room (called the day before), and the guy at reception just pointed at a metal rack for us to do everything and to find the way to our room. Hallways are extremely narrow and ceilings are too low too. The metal rack did not go all the way to the bedroom and it was a very bad experience.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
It's a very basic but clean hotel, the only problem is the noise from other guests who turn up all hours and forget to keep quiet, and on the ground floor there was a, lot of arguments from people in the car park. Heathrow charges far too much money for the pod £8.25, disgusting. But I knew this before using it.
