Perfect for Terminal 5 departures

Easy to get to - we used the POD from Terminal 5. That was good fun. Easy check-in. Bar and restaurant prices were very reasonable, particularly for an airport hotel. Views from the bar terrace amazing for watching aircraft landing.

We stayed at the hotel for convenience after a long flight. There isn’t much to do near the hotel but we weren’t really looking for anything like that, mainly just a place to stay for the night. It was extremely easy to get to from Heathrow terminal 5 (by POD which ran straight out to the hotel). It definitely got the job done.

We liked the Heathrow Pod for travel to T5. We liked the restaurant and bar. Nice surroundings. Rooms are basic and dated but clean. There should be a lift (elevator). There are no facecloths/washcloths and no way to get one. The self serve kiosk for rideshare service is excellent.
