"An overnight stay at LHR T5 for a 9:15flight was perfect, nice room - very comfy bed, enjoyed a few drinks and food in the bar - was advised better to pay as you go, rather than set up an account, as 7-8am very busy at reception."

"My single room did exactly what I needed it to — it gave me a clean safe place to stay when traveling by myself. So conveniently close to the British Museum and I came strait from Heathrow on the Elizabeth line. The only 2 minor drawbacks were that there was no room to open my suitcase except on my bed and that there was vacuum cleaner left out on the narrow hall the whole overnight stay I was there."
