Great location that is literally on the doorstep of the pod for terminal five. Excellent staff and reasonable price food with massive portions. Additionally, we arrived at about 13:00 and were check-in to a room straight away at no extra cost. There is also a McDonald’s restaurant about 200 yards away and an excellent pub about a quarter of a mile away in the other direction.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Stayed at the Thistle a few times now and I'm happy to see the improvements in the reception area, making it look brighter and more appealing than it's previous dark and somewhat drab ambience. The rooms seem to have been refreshed too, clean, nicely furnished and a very comfortable bed. Breakfast is spectacularly good with a wide range of cooked and continental options. Staff are friendly and helpful and, rather importantly, the Thistle is excellent value for money and very convenient for Heathrow T5: I wouldn't stay anywhere else should I need a bed for the night before or after a flight. The one thing I would really like to see is a covered walkway to the Heathrow pod station with a better surface for hauling those heavy suitcases.
