Food we thought was very good and the staff worked hard and kept smiling, only thing was I ordered a gin and tonic and said just a single after being asked and was given a double also need to have a half a pint of any beer available, but told only pints served, which is no good for us unfortunate drivers.

The room was really nice, friendly atmosphere. The only downside is the noise from being sandwiched between the main road and the railway line. If you're a heavy sleeper, it won't be a problem. Would definitely stay again

Despite the less than favourable surroundings and looks from the outside the room was actually very good. It was a good size, nice and modern and very good value. The only thing that let the stay down was the included continental breakfast which was very limited. I'd opt to pay the £7 supplement for a full English if I stayed again or just go to the cafe across the road.

My first meal in this Indian restaurant, which is in what was The Bell Inn pub hotel situated on the main road in Ruislip Gardens. The food was full of wonderful flavours, I really enjoyed it. A real delight to now have as a local restaurant.
