Clean,quiet hotel in perfect location with very friendly staff. Well done all
Friendly staff and the room was nice enough for what I needed. Easy to travel to and from T5 in a pod, although the pods themselves are a bit on the pricey side.

Clean quiet room. Good meal in Avaiator bar at a reasonable price given hotels location
Easy transfer via pod to T5 for our early morning flight . Will use again when flying for T5
Room was perfect and clean for stay before an early flight. Unable to stay for breakfast but the bar food was good. Made use of the nearby pods for easy transport to terminal.
