Comfortable Lay Over Stay.

Good place to rest for a layover at Heathrow. $16 and a short walk to take the hotel transport there from terminal 3. $16 Uber back to terminal 3. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. In the morning the hot water was very loud in the pipes so I feel bad for the rooms near ours that would have head it.

Property ok , rooms ok, but the price of items in the shop are over priced who in there right mind would purchase a packet of crisps for £6.59 daylight robbery nearly every item was 4 times the price of a supermarket. Even the airport was cheaper. Restaurant food was not that great either. Rooms were ok though

Quite honestly couldn't be more impressed, we were due to fly early today (21st March!) and stayed the night here, woke at 5AM to find our flight cancelled and ourselves stranded. The hotel manager was extremely courteous of everyone who was stuck and offered us food/drink as by the time we had made contact with the airline and confirmed we could not travel we had found ourselves stranded as no trains/buses route home. Everyone was so helpful and patient with us - incredibly comfortable stay, the room was clean and quiet, a bit dated but for a well priced overnight stay I can't fault anything

Ok for a night before flight

It was fine for a night before a flight. Pod system very handy and fun. The lobby is nice enough but the general hotel layout/room corridors looks very tired. Room itself was fine, clean with Nespresso machine. Bath had a few dings in it and it was also very slippy when wet. Aviator bar is nice, great to watch the planes.

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.
