MOXY London Heathrow Airport

MOXY London Heathrow Airport

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at Moxy London Heathrow overnight before our trip abroad, and overall, it was a great choice for a pre-flight stay. The hotel was very easy to find and in a really convenient location for getting to the airport, which made everything much easier when travelling early the next day. The hotel itself was great, and we were happy with the accommodation. Unfortunately, the customer service at check-in let the experience down slightly. The check-in process felt quite rushed, and the gentleman who assisted us seemed to be having a particularly difficult day. I appreciate that everyone can have an off day, but unfortunately, it did affect our first impression of the hotel. That said, the hotel itself was good, and its location makes it a very practical option for anyone needing to stay near Heathrow before or after a flight. With a warmer and more welcoming check-in experience, it would have been an even better stay."

"Staying at the Hilton Heathrow is always refreshing. My recent experience was great and I always stay here to catch my flights to and from Heathrow. Room is clean, quiet and comfortable. Lighting makes a huge difference for rest and I find the room offered soft lighting to complete dark for a restful sleep. The breakfast is amazing and love how you have options for fresh fruit, juice and hot food. My freshly cooked omelette was the best! I will always stay at this location and find when I do I get the rest I need for my return travels home. 15/10 in my opinion!"
