Property was OK for a one night in transit stay. However although the breakfast was great the food in the evening was disgusting. We ordered nachos and chicken strips. The Nachos looked and tasted like they had been put together by a five year old, globs of sour cream and other indescribable ingredients slopped onto a plate, no cheese, everything cold, had two chips an left the rest. The chicken strips were overcooked and there was three small strips for £9. Also left them, it was like eating beef jerky. Service was slow and unfriendly.

Although called Terminal 5 hotel, the only transport option to the terminal is a pod service, which costs £8 each and can get busy with queues making it stressful. The Hoppa bus is not available and taxis cost around £28

Nice spot for a quick stop when doing a stopover. Nothing fancy. Conveniently located next to the airport. Great location to visit Windsor Castle.

Clean, somewhat old feel to this hotel. Room was adequate if a little small. Breakfast was good and servers were very helpful. Would have liked a shuttle to the airport instead a £8 pod that takes less than 2 minutes.
