Some of my ratings are based on the fact that we were comped here by British Airways after they bumped us. So, not being out-of-pocket (much) for the stay, it is difficult to rate the hotel in the same way would a paying customer. Internet access (if you don't have your own computer) is three pounds for 15 minutes, and strangely located in the lobby where the noise is distracting, not to mention the pop-up window that keeps reminding you of how much time you've left, and chews up a lot of it just to clear the message from the screen. Wireless in your room is about $20 American per day. Nice wood trim in room, but I agree that the bed wasn't altogether comfortable. We did not find cleanliness to be an issue. Staff generally friendly. Settled our incidentals using cash, and desk clerk acted as if he'd never seen cash before. They probably don't see it too often! Overall, probably not a decent value if you're paying the full tab, but if you're flying out of Terminal 4, 6-minute walk via covered walkway is a much less stressful trip to the terminal, and carts are provided to help you haul the luggage. Access proved very convenient when I couldn't check-in online with BA that night, and decided to hoof it over to the Terminal after dinner to be sure to cover our bases.

You would be better off sleeping on the floor

I travel very frequently with my job and this hotel is one of the worst Hiltons that I have ever stayed at. Even Hampton Inns, Hiltons lower priced brand is much better than this Hilton is. The bed is horribly uncomfortable. It is on casters and rolls around during the night and also the mattress is aweful. It is incredibly hard, nearly like sleeping on the floor. Actually you would probably get a better night sleep on the floor. I ended up sleeping better on my 10 hour flight out of London Heathrow than I did in this hotel. Also, the shower was just gross. It had mildew and soap scum all over the place. So much so that I would have felt dirtier showering in it than just not taking a shower in all. This is just unacceptable especially for a Hilton and at over 400 dollars for one night. Save yourself some money and just stay in the in the lounge at the terminals, its free and will end up being better than staying at this hotel.

This direct access to the airport is a joke. It's like a 15k marathon through a sun baked tube. Bizarre. Very overpriced. It is surprising that it is a Hilton.

while adverstised as being ""at the airport"" it takes 40 minutes to get there from terminal 1. one has to take a train then a rather long walk. hardly ""at the airport"". Take a shuttle and stay at the radison.
