Close to Terminal 5 Heathrow.

Convenient for Terminal 5. You can take the POD. The hotel was a little tricky to get to. It does not have an elevator which means you have to carry cases up the stairs but it only has too floors so not too bad.

Thistle London Heathrow Hotel

The hotel rooms are small and spartan. There is no elevator to the first floor so luggage must be carried up the stairs. The rooms were not soundproofed from inside or outside noise. This is the worst hotel that I've stayed in near Heathrow.

Awful! Would never stay there again!

Filthy "hotel" in every area, from lobby to room to bed. Toilet would not flush, so had to use lobby washroom in early morning right after cleaning by staff. Bathroom shower area filthy....too gross to shower. Was fully booked even at *+ rate, so not possible to change rooms, and service staff unable to make any significant improvements.

Watch out for your eating plans

As we checked in, we were asked "shall we make dinner reservations for you?" We said "no" since we didn't want to be committed to a time. When we came to the dining room an hour later, we would have an hour wait, coupled with an unpleasant condescending grimace from the head waiter. Other choices were eating at the bar - which was more expensive and limited - or room service. So we walked a mile and found a pub. The nicest thing I can say about the experience is that the hotel is space limited for food service. The hotel was reasonably priced.

I would never recommend it

The hotel is old and far from the city centre, the staff is courteous but inefficient. We left our valuables in the hotel safe because the room safe was broken. When we had to collect them, they gave us another person's valuables !!We never had enough towels for both of us. The TV did not work well. The room was tiny as well as the bathroom.

Tired

Stay here only if you need a short stay (1 day) to wait for your next flight. Otherwise the hotel looks old and tired. Rooms are small. There are very long corridors to get to your room. No elevators but they can help with baggage. Hotel Hoppa Bus costs only 4 Pounds(one way) to get to/from airport. But be aware that you may wait the bus H4 more then 30 minutes (instead of advertised 12-15 minutes). If you are party of 2 or more people - take a taxi (8-10 pounds).
