This hotel is in a fantastic position for terminal 5 . The hotel is basic and we had breakfast and evening dinner and the food is okay could be better. It is a shame as the restaurant overlooks the airport runway and could be a highlight.

Great for an overnight stay at LHR. Easy to get to (using the instructions on the Thistle website), via the Pods. Very comfortable bed and pillows, clean room that is soundproof and has blackout curtains. Perfect before a flight.

Clean & Comfortable with dead easy access (bus 423 stops right out and only costs £1.75 to Terminal 5) but please note, the walls between rooms are paper thin!

very handy for terminal 5 and with the POD to take you to the hotel. The room was ok but the bathroom was very small but for a night or two its ok.

Checking in was quick with pleasant, helpful staff. Room was clean, warm and comfortable with everything i needed for an overnight stay.
Diane

10/10
Perfectly cheap and cheerful for an overnighter before an early-ish flight from LHR T5. Very basic and a little tired, but had all you needed - shower and a clean bed - for a quick stopover. Breakfast was very nice and when factored into the room cost (£15 each if purchased on site) made the stay an absolute bargain. Local 423 bus only 2 stops to/from airport, stops right outside the hotel. Will definitely stay again!

I really liked this hotel. When we arrived it looked drab but once inside it was brilliant
Lesley Ann

8/10
It was very convenient for somewhere to crash between flights, the access to the hotel via the Pods was quick and convenient.
Some of the interiors were a little bit tired, and the walls were pretty thin, so not great if you're a light sleeper

Comfortable room. Close proximity to Heathrow with a good connecting shuttle.

Enjoyable stay as always, only issue is service at the bar slow as only one person serving and dealing with food orders ,which made service slow, need to sort that out
