Just stopping for one night (which i guess most people do). Due to the fact my onward flight was at 10.30am I didn't like to take the risk that my flight from Glasgow would be delayed and I'd miss my flight to San Francisco.

I arrived into T1, so to get to the Hilton meant a short trip on the Heathrow Express followed by a 10 minute walk through T4 and over the covered walkway.

I thought the might have offered a shuttle bus from T1, but they didn't.

Arrived about 8.30pm and check in desk seemed reasonably quiet, only 3 in front, however it took at least 15 minutes to get checked in - but they were very apologetic.

I had booked an executive floor room inclusive of a bottle of Champange. When i arrived at the room on the 5th Floor, the champagne was indeed waiting on ice!

The room itself was pretty much what you might expect from any "up-scale" hotel airport. Very spacious, but lacking any character.

The room contained all the basics and everything worked and was clean!

The hotel offers 24 hour room service and also has a good selection of bars and restaurants, with varying menus and prices.

I stuck with room service which was served within about 20 minutes and was excellent quality.

Overall I was very impressed with the location and the standard of the room. However the price tag of £170 was quite steep - without the champange it would have been £165.

Check out was efficient, and I was at the British Airways check-in desk within about 15 minutes of leaving my room.

I chose this hotel for one reason only, the fact that it is attached to T4 and I had a morning flgiht out of T4.
