Review
A typical British arrangement of a shower in the bathtub. Plenty of hot water, soft fluffy towels, and toiletries. Immaculately clean, as you'd expect.
© Marion Boddy-EvansThe hotel's website says it’s soundproofed, but I would never have believed such soundproofing was possible. The hotel is adjacent to a large roundabout and Terminal 4, under the flight-path of planes, yet you don't hear any traffic or plane noise once inside. It's the first quiet night I've ever had in a city.
The service and accommodation are what you'd expect from a hotel of this caliber – friendly, competent, stylish, elegant. Pick your adjective. Everything worked smoothly, everything was in place. I'd booked online in advance, so checking in was fast. Checking out using the express check-out option was even faster; just dropping the form and room keycard into the slot.
The buffet breakfast offered a vast array of options, more than enough to set you up for the day. You could make it the main meal of the day if you booked a B&B package.
