It's a very basic but clean hotel, the only problem is the noise from other guests who turn up all hours and forget to keep quiet, and on the ground floor there was a, lot of arguments from people in the car park.
Heathrow charges far too much money for the pod £8.25, disgusting. But I knew this before using it.

A very soick operation from check in to exiting to the POD in the morning. I shall use again
Avoid - very dated hotel, looks like a prison layout from the outside. Inside the room, blood on the mattress, stains all over the sheets. Also no plug sockets by the bed!

Great price. Location is perfect for T5. Rooms clean and have a kettle with teas and coffee. Great bar serving good if you don’t fancy the restaurant with views of Heathrow and a very very nice breakfast. 3rd visit.
