An old hotel that needs refurbishment. Aldo charging 8 GBP to go through the security is both unnecessary and randomly administered.

The purpose of our trip was a convenint hotel for the night prior to an early morning flight and the hotel delivered on that. Yes it is dated and not a room to spend a lot of time in. Location great for Heathrow. Limited around the area so we took the 81 bus to Slough (30 mins) then train to Windsor (10 mins) for the afternoon and it was great. We got the pod to the hotel from T5 at £8 each and it took 5 mins! On the way back we took the 423 bus £1.75 each and it took 10 mins

The first time I stayed in the hotel with no elevator so we had to drag our heavy luggages through the stairs. Location is convenient and you get to have a good sleep rather than wait at the airport.

The hotel is in dire need of an upgrade, I think the carpet has been there since the 80's. It was very easy to get to Terminal 5 however, but extremely basic room and stay.
