We stayed here in December 2012 the night before flying abroad. We paid a little more for this hotel thinking it might be a little nicer than your standard Premier Inns and Travelodges... we probably should have saved our money to be honest! The room was spacious and comfortable but a little run down and when we arrived the heating... More

As I was arriving at T1 with a meeting next day nearby I booked an overnight at the Thistle. Getting there was easy thanks to tips on Tripadvisor about catching the free bus, 423, from the bus station at T5, (stand 6-7 I think it was and there's a free train link between terminals). The journey is only about 5... More

We stayed at this hotel for one night before our flight the next day. We also parked our car here for a week. We booked two double rooms, as there were four of us. Our rooms must have been refurbished, judging by other reviews I have read. The rooms were spacious and the bathroom clean and well appointed. We had... More

I got this free due to their price guarantee, otherwise I probably would not have stayed here as we were due to leave from T1. Hotel is nearer T5 than LHR T1-3 and is off a small part of Bath road.

Booked the Thistle Hotel as a 15 day park and stay package prior to holiday to USA. Was slightly worried about reviews on trip advisor but as only staying one night was not overly concerned. On arrival at hotel it looks a little like office buildings and could honestly do with a little sprucing up Check in was easy and... More

Hotel badly in need of refurb, decor very dated and tired, room small, bed small (although comfy), shoddy finishes (tap in sink broken, water didn't drain away well.

First of all this hotel is adjacent to the runway. Its catering for a certain client who needs a stopover before flying from Heathrow. Its cheap and you get what you pay for. The rooms are tiny! It felt like a Travelodge and the rooms were basic with nothing special. You certainly would not want to stay here more than... More

Late decision to stay here so I could pick up family coming in from the USA on an early flight. I know deals can be got if bookings are made in good time but this was far too expensive for the average standard offered by this hotel. My room was clean enough and it was quiet but customer service throughout... More

If you are looking for a good hotel close to all the Heathrow Terminals with good transport connections then the Thistle is a good find. We stayed there for two reasons other than using the Airport. We were going to be in the area and I like to watch aircraft ! Rooms are adequate if a little dated and small,... More
