Convenient hotel for terminal 5
Stayed here overnight before travelling from terminal 5. It is extremely convenient as you can use the "Pod" to travel quickly to the terminal which is quick. No waiting around for buses and you get your own personal pod to whisk you overhead to the terminal.
I thought the hotel had been smartened up since our last visit. The evening meal was pretty good and not expensive.

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.

Never again
There were small stains and hairs in one of the beds. Not very nice to see.
Room was basic but it wasn’t expensive.
We ate in the Aviator restaurant for dinner. Never again.
Nachos to start - they were served cold and couldn’t taste any cheese. I heard the people on the next table complaining too when they got theirs.
I had fish and chips and asked for garden peas - it came with mushy peas. They changed them for me.
The fish looked enormous when it arrived on the table. It was all batter and it looked and tasted like the fish had been deep fried several times. Yuk. There was a small amount of white fish inside.
Complete waste of money.

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.

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

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.
