Very easy to get to from Heathrow terminal 5. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The beds and bedding are very comfortable. We opted for the breakfast before heading back to Heathrow to catch a train to our next destination. We would definitely stay here again.

The stay was ok. We had to talk a lot through the very long corridors to get to the room (they were also cold), we asked for a baby cot which took ~1 hour to get (they were looking for it). Staff was friendly and nice. Breakfast was ok.

Noise between rooms a problem, you expect alongside runway for there to be noise until planes stop flying but you can hear everything either side of rooms too.

Conveniently located near the bus stop to go to Heathrow. The bar/restaurant area was still playing Christmas music which, on 29th December we found very irritating!

No shuttle

Stayed for one night before returning to United States. Room was large and clean and comfortable. Very long hallways and walk from reception to room. Could be hard for low mobility. Did not find the pub very friendly. They have the monorail to terminal 5 only. I ended up taking an Uber to my terminal.
