10/10 Excellent

"Love this hotel. Ideal for me as I'm a regular visitor to London for the football, I find this hotel an ideal base being so close to the airport. My wife travels with me and we find everything about this hotel is just right, the staff are super friendly which is the biggest plus of all. If only my team were as accommodating at keeping me happy."

"Second time staying here. Great place, friendly staff, room was really nice. Still the only downside is having to pay for parking, should be free for those staying at the hotel in my opinion."
