"First off, this is not a 4* property. Having said that, I would recommend anyone looking for a hotel that is not “in” the airport to stay here.
Access: couldn’t be easier. 2 stops on the tube, and if arriving from LHR T5, it’s a short walk and elevator ride to the T5 station, and a 2 minute walk to the hotel. The transfer is free and takes about ten minutes. The hotel is literally across the street.
The property: safe, clean but basic. Has everything you need / want, but no frills. When i walked from the station I saw planes flying over at low altitude (landing) so was worried about noise, but didn’t hear a Thing. I arrived at 11:45am and was given access to my room, which was great as I could shower and leave my bags before heading in to town. Staff was friendly and helpful. Sidenote: I stayed in an odd numbered room, which had a window to the outside. I can’t Confirm this, but it seemed like even numbered rooms faced in door - you may want to double check. They have. Window to outside, if that is important to you.
I paid less than $100 for the night which was great value for money and would def stay here again for the sheer convenience of
It. n"
