What did you think of this hotel?

It was fine for one night's accommodation. We had a double which was very small and we felt a bit cramped. We had to call downstairs for toilet paper as there wasn't any in the room. However, we were pleased that the room was air conditioned.

The carpet in the hallway leading to our room was dirty and looked like it had not been hoovered in a few days. The lift was unusually small, so much so that only two of us could go up at a time with a piece of luggage each.

The prices in the restaurant were quite dear so we opted to grab breakfast at the airport.

Advice

  • I would only stay here for its proximity to Heathrow and only one night, coming into London or leaving. If you're a single person it is probably most ideal but as a family we felt a bit cramped.
