Hi all,
Quick question as I'll be staying at the T5 Hilton at the end of July. Will be there with a large family group, and can see that there is a small pool/large jacuzzi (delete as appropriate!) in the spa - is access to this complimentary for guests or is there a charge?
Also does anyone know if there are restrictions on children using it?
Finally - dinner: Todiwala's kitchen, or walk up the road to the Punch Bowl for a Thai? Or something else?

However, please do yourself a favour and dine at Todiwala's kitchen ! It's a must go, you will not be disappointed. Stunning place ^^

Thanks. I have met Cyrus before on my many visits to Cafe Spice Namaste, so I'm already a fan - if it's at least as good as that, then it will be hard to drag me away!

That would be my suspicion as well. Personally I'd quite like to use it, but my cherubs would be less than impressed if they were left out...

How I hate Hoppa!!
Okay in Wizla style a live update
Here for one night, Ł80 sale deal with 20% off F&B. Wife happy with the sauna .
Excellent hotel, upgrade to exec room, essential same room, but top floor (4th), in 424 end corridor along from lounge.
Arrived at 1507, took 01:10 from LHR T5, the 1401 Hoppa and the 1431 never turned up, I tweeted National Express, took An uber and have sent them the bill. 3rd time this has not happened the Hoppas are useless, never turn up, late, go wrong way. Most hotels you can survive on local bus, but here but further our and local bus not so often.
Anyway after that rant, arrived room not ready, told to have a seat, I had to prompt to get lounge access and enjoy some nice cake and coffee while we waited.
Room was ready around 1600. As always, 1/2 red wine, water and the nice British Chocolate Bar, this time Sticky Toffee, not had this before, just Eton Mess and Apple Crumble, so a new one to the addition, who needs Conrad Bears when you get chocolate collection
Down to spa, and gym. Gym busy so did few running laps then sauna steam, and Wizla unlike Canary Wharf this one is roasting!
Back in lounge now, they have chicken, some sort of potato and veg patties and sandwiches and cheese, becks beer, and red/white and spirits. Quiet at moment.
Gym in am and then good breakfast
Excellent deal at this price

Another solid stay. Arrived by bikes, after good cycle along the Thames Arrived at 1500, did online check in and chose 499, end corridor, this was upgrade. Room was nt ready offered another, but decided go to spa and clean up while wait for room.
Spa busy but not too bad, sauna and steam as hot as ever
After, room ready, dropped off bits and went to lounge, nice coffee and excellent cakes
We then cycled over to Thistle to meet friend and sit out on Terrace watching planes take off in the sun.
Missed evening drinks in lounge, straight to dinner, fish and chips + thai green curry good and spicy. Very very good sticky toffee pudding, they have a very good pastry chef here!
Morning, and went to lounge for coffee before breakfast, they were changing fruit of month from bananas to blueberries. At breakfast I saw for the first time, the full calender of fruit of the month dont see this in all hotels!
Breakfast good, but a mess! Large groups in, and always never butter or salt or pepper on the tables. Muffins here are not good. I did see through my work that the Nutella Muffins came from Brakes Frozen goods! If anyone wants I can source them
Ohhh and chocolate and wine in room, they really look after Diamonds here, love this hotel.
