But hey, that doesn’t mean it’s not a lovely play to stay. Although the decor in the rooms is a bit dated, they all have free wi-fi, 24-hour room service and – best of all – soundproofed windows, meaning you can actually get some undisturbed shuteye here. There’s a fitness centre for those who fancy a workout, and a sauce for those keen to unwind. The Market Garden restaurant does European plates; Bar Eleven also does snacks and small plates.
Nearby:
Twickenham Stadium, the world’s largest rugby union venue.
Southall, a west London area famed for its Punjabi snacks and sweets.
Time Out tip: There’s no shuttle service that takes you to the airport, so make sure you get an Uber or ask the desk to ring a local cab company.
