Perfect place to stay to catch an flight from Heathrow the following day. Reception was friendly and when I checked out they told me about a direct pod that takes them from their hotel to the airport in 5 min. This was perfect since I didn’t want to walk to a bus station alone at 6 in the morning

Reliable airport stay
As usual, this was a good, reliable stay. Rooms we had were clean and comfortable enough for an overnight stay before an early flight. We ate in the newly renovated bar and restaurant watching the planes take off. Food was good.

Getting to the hotel from the terminal was a little confusing at first until I went online and followed the directions on the Hotel's website. I was surprised that a hotel full of people travelling was only accepting card payments and no cash (which is all I had), so as a result I was not able to order dinner or properly pay for the Pod from the airport to the hotel. I ended up having to leave the premises and walking past the Premier Inn to the McDonalds to go get dinner. The room was small and the safe provided in the room did not lock. The toilet could have been cleaned a little better, but overall the accommodation was perfectly average. Clean, neat, ordered and the staff were helpful and easy to talk to. The breakfast (which was included in my booking) was also very good and reflected the establishment well.

The room was clean but small but was enough for 1 night. There are no lifts in the property at all, the restaurant is on the 1st floor and was a bit of a walk, up and down stairs from our room. The POD service to and from terminal was great, highly recommend, this journey was around 4 mins.

The main highlight of this hotel for me was the pod transportation to terminal 5 LHR airport. The hotel has everything you need with a great bar/restaurant in the hotel.

The hotel was perfect for our needs. Stayed here overnight before taking an early morning flight to Edinburgh. Taking the pod from terminal 5 to the hotel was very easy and convenient. Hotel room was clean and comfortable.
