Early flight from Heathrow in BA
This was a business trip to London. The convenience to Terminal 5 was key. If you are flying out on BA with hotel is worth considering.

Short stay
Stayed here as was cheap and close to Terminal 5 (bus ride away). Pretty old building, but was quiet and good for a one night stay. Food was good and reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Wouldn't stay again; didn't feel safe as a woman
Terrible entrance but rooms fine, staff friendly. Not very safe for women as make you got out the back and across a carpark to reach your room.

The location and staff were excellent for overnight stay. The hotel itself was clean, but was in need of updating (some carpets were torn and duct taped and bathroom had some mold). Bedroom was adequate for what we needed, but bed was uncomfortable. Breakfast was good. Very convenient to airport with pods.
