Hillingdon Hotels with Gym

Lovely hotel and excellent restaurant. All staff were excellent, our waitress Mikhaela was lovely. Knows her job and very efficient. Food was excellent too. Bar staff were happy and made good cocktails. Overall experience great. Highly recommended.

This was booked by my company at short notice. I would not advise choosing to stay here. Dated and lacking any effort to tidy up external areas the hotel has had no investment. This is a shame as the site is well-located and has character and a bit of history. There is evidence that the hotel is used to support international travel which was evidenced by the derogatory comments left on the bathroom mirror concerning Luton airport which appeared in the condensation after my first shower suggesting that the room cleaning was slightly haphazard. There is a need for just basic handyman work, really simple activity like touching up paintwork, holes in walls etc and removing obsolete room fittings for hairdryer and kettles that have been replaced by plug-in models. The bath plug didn’t work and shower head spray couldn’t be adjusted, wobbly toilet flush etc. Even the ‘new’ annex, which I stayed in, is looking very tired. Basic administration and effort was lacking such as updating the room folders with correct information. No mention of the internet password in the room – which required a tramp down to reception to ask. I did it just so I could leave this review. There is a nice array of coffee making items but rather marred by a lack of teaspoons which required me to stir my hot chocolate with my toothbrush handle. The signs and literature refer to the site as having a restaurant yet it doesn’t even provide a breakfast. It mentions the site as a venue for functions such as weddings; the state of outside areas and communal areas would not support this assertion. A bit of TLC could make this a good hotel and venue.

To here because of catching the flight after checking out from the uni student hall. The hotel is close to Terminal 4 of Heathrow Airport and the instructions for going to the hotel are clear, just about 5 minutes from the terminal exit near Heathrow Terminal 4. Go upstairs via the lift to the level written 'hotel'. The staff is very nice and they allow me to check in at about 12PM which is normally after 14PM without any charges. The staff is friendly and willing to solve problems. The room I got is really nice and see no dust or trash in the room. The bed is nicely tidy and all the devices in the room like tv, clothes iron and its desk, dryer, etc. The free breakfast included for all guests is not very impressive but fair enough. It's a buffet and it had bread, beans, bacon, sausage, etc, just a classic all-day breakfast you can get in the UK. The check out process is simple, just drop the card into the box named Check Out and you can freely leave.

So convenient for that transfer from Europe to Australia. Instead of an airport lounge or the usual people full QANTAS lounge for those long transitions at Heathrow. Right in Terminal 3 - it was a dream!
