It was a great, convenient hotel for a one-night stay. Bus 423 runs frequently and is perfect for early-morning or late-night arrivals / departures from Terminal 5

The property is in a great location, to get from the hotel lobby to T5 was less than 10 minutes. The hotel also has lots of parking and is good value for money. In fact, the hotel accommodation and parking was as expensive as pod parking at T5.

Fantastic clean hotel , nice reception staff and the restaurant inside is good with views of the runway . You will not get a better hotel at T5 for the price .
