Cheap and effective if you are departing from T5 Heathrow as guests can use Pod Parking to get there. But no lift for heavy suitcases and expect other guests to be noisy getting up early for their flights.

Room was andequate and comfortable enough and had a decent sleep but you can hear people coming and going all hours of course. Very convenient for terminal 5 and the pod and the parking which use to be called business parking I believe, which is why I give 4/5.You can self check in and even buy a code for the pod whilst you do it.

Great location that is literally on the doorstep of the pod for terminal five. Excellent staff and reasonable price food with massive portions. Additionally, we arrived at about 13:00 and were check-in to a room straight away at no extra cost. There is also a McDonald’s restaurant about 200 yards away and an excellent pub about a quarter of a mile away in the other direction.
