Wendy, Oct 2025
Hotel is nice but very expensive for what you get. The downstairs bar is shocking - £30 for a pint and glass of wine! Service was also dreadful. Probably the Worst airport hotel bar I’ve ever been to.

Torian, Aug 2025
The room and the service was excellent. They just need to upgrade their booking and online service to reflect that they do have a day rate for travelers like myself who only needed the room for a few hours. You seemed to have to call them to get that rate as it wasn’t available online or easily accessible on their site. That being said they took care of me with an upgrade when they noticed I booke...

The service at the bar was slow. While staying there a group of guess we’re running around with their kids for over an hour through the bar, lobby and elevator. The staff did not stop these guest, it was very off putting.

Pros (+) Gym and Spa was excellent. Obviously easy for plane flights just a gentle stroll, but it worked well for an event in central London also. Caught the last Heathrow Express train at 11.25 in my room by 11.55.

Ben, Dec 2019
Pros (+) The room, the bed and the bathroom were all comfortable and to expectations.
Cons (-) We had flown in from Hong Kong and were transiting overnight at Heathrow with an 8.20am departure the next morning. After check in at approximately 7.15pm, we stopped by the restaurant to make a dinner reservation for 7.45pm. Even though we could see that the restaurant has many empty tables, we were curtly advised by the restaurant staff that the earliest we could book would be 8.30pm. Given we w...

Ronit, Aug 2019
Pros (+) Room was super clean and bed very comfortable. We checked in early and our room was not yet ready, but they were kind enough to give us a different room which was a kind of a downgrade, but we gladly accepted it as all we wanted was to go to sleep, after a night flight.
Cons (-) This comment is for Travelocity’s attention: the hotel would not recognize my Accor Hotel membership and would not credit my Accor account for this stay. Neither were they willing to give us access to the Club which is a courtesy they normally give Accor members. All of this was because we did not book directly with Accor, rather through Travelocity. We understand that this is Accor’s policy and n...

Pros (+) Ideal for early morning flight from Heathrow Terminal 5. Did not use it but BA check-in & bag drop would be very convenient if travelling with hold baggage.
Cons (-) Not a lot!
