The additional Christmas decorations were super cute and appreciated as well as the full service kitchen (with coffee and milk), games and fabulous top floor 360°window to watch the sunrise/sunset, wildlife etc. Highly recommend a stay here.

"I had an early flight out of LHR T3 the next day. Even though this hotel is at T5, I took the risk and booked this one instead and have no regrets. Although not cheap, this hotel is cheaper than Aerotel at T3, and the rooms are much spacious and looks nicer. It has an e-kettle and a fridge, which is a must for me. You do have to walk a bit from the main terminal. Just follow the signs. There are lifts and a covered pathway to the hotel. Would book again if when I'm in LHR."
