Ideal for viewing action of Heathrow, balcony terrace. Rooms 191 -195 . beware of sticky patch on wall above toilet in 195 (not my fault). Bit cramped location for urinal!. Room as a whole was good, though window slightly foggy for photographing planes flying out. (if that makes sense.)

This was our second or third stay at this hotel and the restaurant and bar had been renovated and the service was much more professional. The room was comfortable and this, coupled with the changes to the restaurant made it an enjoyable stay.

I've stayed here twice now and both times have been a great experience. Convenient access to Heathrow with easy transport to terminal 5 with the Pod. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Love the aviator restaurant and bar, great food and a cool view of the runways.

Great place to stay for ease of getting to Heathrow terminal 5 and the tubes. For a long term stay to visit London, opt for a hotel closer to the city itself as the reideninto London takes about 40 minutes on the tube. The hotel itself is a little dated and worn, Otherwise not a bad place to stay overall.

Great service

I arrived via the pods which was easy to get to the hotel from. On arrival as I had my suitcase and bags I asked for a ground floor room which I was kindly given. The room was excellent and the breakfast lovely. Check out was easy and friendly.

Comfortable but expensive

The stay was comfortable and the staff were lovely. My only bad point was the food was extremely expensive and the tip was included without asking. This was unacceptable as I was not served by the same person twice and would not have tipped as the interaction with each person was basic and minimal

Disliked: Cleanliness
The property was clean and the hotel restaurant had good food. The lack of a good score comes from the fact that there was hair in the sheets. When I called the front desk to inform me they asked me if I would like someone to come and clean it or move rooms. I requested to move rooms. The worse part is I had just taken a shower before our early morning flight out. I am not saying to not stay here as it is a nice hotel just be careful to overlook your room. I made the mistake of not checking before I jumped into the shower but we checked in late. I wish the hotel would have taken this a bit more serious as we felt it was just kind of brushed off. Mistakes happen but how you rectify it speaks volumes
