Clean, somewhat old feel to this hotel. Room was adequate if a little small. Breakfast was good and servers were very helpful. Would have liked a shuttle to the airport instead a £8 pod that takes less than 2 minutes.

Pretty nice place for an airport Hotel. There is a monorail Pod that zips you to the terminal for $8, from there, lots of options to get to downtown London. The breakfast buffet is a really good value. For variety, you can walk .5 mile toward Heathrow for more food/restaurant options, including McDonalds and an Asian restaurant, Or walk 1.5 miles to a place called 3 Magpies.

The hotel is very functional with a dormitory feel to the rooms layout, service was good A major shock was the surcharge of £8 to use the five minute POD ride, something that needs to be factored in with the room rate
