Good shower. In a nice part of town. Mostly clean. Air conditioning certainly worked well during a hot day. Con’s: Moths and fly’s in the room. Confusing entrance with a very slow moving lift!!! Room was too small to be comfortable. We were given the opportunity to make a bid to upgrade our room- however the room that we would have upgraded to was a single bed and smaller. Strange clicking noise coming from the air con. No iron in the room. Dead insects squished against the wall. All in all, a perfectly ok place to get your head down. But don’t be expecting anything else. ##### Terry Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### myriam May 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Ras ##### myriam Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow Terminal 2 and 3](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-London-Heathrow-Terminal-2-And-3.h33088275.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Kensington](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Kensington.h26612.Hotel-Information) > > [Staycity London Dalston](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Kingsland-Locke.h57227439.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis London Earls Court](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Ibis-London-Earls-Court.h14264.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza London Heathrow T4 by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-London-Heathrow-T4.h22334825.Hotel-Information) > > [London Heathrow Marriott Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-London-Heathrow-Marriott-Hotel.h438504.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis London Heathrow Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Ibis-London-Heathrow-Airport.h16754.Hotel-Information) > > [Aerotel London Heathrow Airport Terminal 2-3](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Aerotel-London-Heathrow-T2-T3.h21528024.Hotel-Information) > > [Danubius Hotel Regents Park](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Danubius-Hotel-Regents-Park.h26085.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place London Heathrow Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-London-Heathrow-Airport.h1716953.Hotel-Information) > > [Ibis budget London Heathrow Central](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-London-Heathrow-Central.h72386009.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Sofitel-London-Heathrow.h1740977.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stratford, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Stratford-Hotel-London.h31325464.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance London Heathrow Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Renaissance-London-Heathrow-Hotel.h9944.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo London Heathrow Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Leonardo-London-Heathrow-Airport.h570358.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London City](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Arbor-City-Hotel.h201127.Hotel-Information) > > [Tribe London Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Tribe-London-Canary-Wharf.h83096424.Hotel-Information) > > [MOXY London Heathrow Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-MOXY-London-Heathrow-Airport.h20463397.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London Heathrow - Bath Road by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Heathrow-Bath-Road.h25727547.Hotel-Information) > > [Thistle London Heathrow Terminal 5](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Thistle-London-Heathrow-T5.h882761.Hotel-Information) > > [Mama Shelter London - Shoreditch](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Mama-Shelter-London-Shoreditch.h1886693.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton London - Docklands Riverside](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-London-Docklands-Riverside.h2456.Hotel-Information) > > [Stamford Bridge Hotel London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Stamford-Bridge-Hotel.h65802.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express London Heathrow T4 by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-London-Heathrow-T4.h22336089.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place London City East](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-London-City-East.h60903297.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Canary-Wharf.h1457899.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson RED Hotel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Radisson-RED-Hotel-London-Heathrow.h46218383.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points Flex by Sheraton London Shoreditch East](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-East-London-Hotel.h27372440.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel London West](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Novotel-London-West.h17246.Hotel-Information)
