TAXI’s WON’T TAKE YOU - NOT AT T5!
This is a bit of a warning to all who try and get a taxi from Terminal 5. The flat rate is £35 IF (and only if) you manage to get a taxi to take you. I had to try 5 taxi’s in the rank (who all said no), before one agreed.
The reason is the Hotel is NOT directly at Terminal 5, it is 2 miles away and taxi’s just won’t take you.
It is a very large hotel and should be impressive, but it isn’t.
My room was very cold, the bed has a very thin duvet, so I had to ask room service for a blanket.
When I put on my air conditioning to warm the room up, the door to my room has a huge draft which gave a loud whistling sound all night.
The towels are hard, and they don’t give you a toothpaste glass in the room which you need because the tap/fawcet is at an awkward angle to use easily.
The one slight good thing is the breakfast, it’s very good and plentiful - but why they play soft rock through the sound system I don’t know…
I won’t be staying here again.
