Short stay
Stayed here as was cheap and close to Terminal 5 (bus ride away). Pretty old building, but was quiet and good for a one night stay. Food was good and reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Perfect for Terminal 5 departures
Easy to get to - we used the POD from Terminal 5. That was good fun. Easy check-in. Bar and restaurant prices were very reasonable, particularly for an airport hotel. Views from the bar terrace amazing for watching aircraft landing.

Great position food could be bettet
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.

The hotel is in dire need of an upgrade, I think the carpet has been there since the 80's. It was very easy to get to Terminal 5 however, but extremely basic room and stay.

Nice hotel
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.
