“Avoid, avoid, avoid!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2011

It's hard to summarise how bad this hotel experience was without it becoming a lengthy rant, but here goes. (1) this place is in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by industrial estates (2) if you have a car, great - if you get a black cab from Heathrow like I did, it'll cost you £34 ("Minimum charge, governor") even though it's 10 minutes away (3) I arrived at 7.30PM pretty much as previously advised but my room was not ready and I had to wait 20 minutes for them to prepare it (4) this is not a 4-star hotel ("self-assessed", apparently) by any stretch of the imagination, not even with the aid of mind-bending drugs (5) there is no restaurant (contrary to the LateRooms website, which says there is) - only a couple of vending machines in the bar dispensing crisps, sandwiches or things to put in some self-service microwaves (6) there is no room service, though the receptionist insisted there was and offered to carry my crisps back to my room once I'd selected them from the machine (in his world, this was room service) (7) I struggled to get back to my room, because my keycard which you need for the lift and numerous other doors, suddenly stopped working (8) the kettle in the room didn't work - the receptionist later told me that they've cunningly hidden a concealed switch in the cabinet so that the kettle won't work unless the cabinet lid is opened - only they can't be bothered to tell you this (9) many of the staff seem to have little grasp of English and no grasp of how a hotel (and certainly not a 4-star hotel) should operate, and finally (10) when checking out don't bother asking for a credit card slip so you can see how much they've debited from your card because they'll just look at you blankly and no matter how much you insist they won't give one to you. There are some plus-points - the rooms are actually nice, spacious and clean. And very well-insulated from the passing planes. I also had 14 complimentary and 10 bottles of lotion, shampoo etc. But hardly any tea, coffee or milk and no biscuits. Most guest seem to be aircrew from Indian subcontinent airlines or airport groundcrew. They are obviously regulars because they sit around in the lobby or bar, eating takeaways that they've ordered in. There's also a 'tabard cleaning service', if your reflective waistcoat is getting a little bit grubby. But if you are a normal traveller, my advice is to avoid this place (incidentally I paid £109, reduced from £195 if you can believe that) and find yourself a proper hotel, not a glorified hostel for aircrew.

“Away... but reasonable”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 April 2011

This hotel is tucked away from the hustle bustle of heathrow.
Took about 7 minutes to get to the hotel form terminal 5.
There are no buses that serve this region form the terminal so had to take a cab,which costed about 10 GBP.The rooms are comfortable and neat,with basic Television,mini fridge,coffe machine and an iron.Tried the thai place across the road called Pla Tong,which was very nice.The hotel does not have room service,but a vending machine which heats up food!!
The laundry service was reasonably priced and very prompt.
There is a little convenience store within a 5 minute walk.
It is alright for a quick stay in transit.

“Don't use this hotel is you are flying from Heathrow”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2010

We wanted to avoid the Travellodge, Premier Inn type hotels as this was a stopover before a flight out to Miami and a month long holiday. Firstly we were told that a taxi would cost us £36 to travel just over the mile from terminal 5 so we decided against this. Then we were advised that we would get a bus - but the bus took us to the Aurora International. When we finally got to the hotel by a much less expensive taxi we found a bedroom which was like the tropics and despite adjusting the noisy air conditioning it did not get any more comfortable so had a very poor nights sleep.
We had also hoped for a nice relaxing meal in the restaurant (the hotel pictures still show a nicely laid out restaurant) but found that you could get a ready meal from a vending machine! How can this hotel still have 4 stars? So disappointing and not the way we wanted to start a special holiday.

“the airport T5 hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2009

this hotel was like an english style out of the city stop by for a week, or less.
if you plan on SEEING london, as in the city. this would probably not be your best option.
if you want somewhere far from the noise crowd and fast ways. this will do fine :)
it's a 5 to 10 minute drive from the airport, so convinient there.
A 20 minute bus ride will take you to Hounslaw which I feel is a better option then the city for your shopping. it's the same stuff and brands- just cheaper.

there's a really nice thai restaurant right opposite the hotel. you must try that for atleast one night!

“a real pity”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2007

Staff very nice, but this hotel is out in the middle of no where. They have closed their restaurant and offer no room service. You can buy 'packet' meals to cook in a microwave.
Very poor and I would not advise staying at this hotel.
