    Very convenient for T5 with various transportation options. Nice buffet breakfast. The leisure room was great for relaxation. Staff helpful but somewhat distant. Near interesting landmarks: Staines Moor for a peaceful walk, The Great Barn for history, and Little Britain Lake for family time. The London Motor Museum was also exciting for a unique outing.

    The room was surprisingly quiet for being right next to the runway, and we loved sitting on the open terrace to watch the planes up close while having breakfast. It was super convenient being able to drop off the hire car nearby, and having a bath in the room was a nice touch. The only downside was the slightly dated rooms on the first floor, but we'll definitely be back because the staff were really helpful and everything else was great.✈️

    The rooms at Thistle London Heathrow Terminal 5 are incredibly spacious, making it easy for me to relax and spend time with friends. The lounge area with an LCD TV was perfect for hanging out after a long day of traveling. The fast and free WiFi was a lifesaver for staying connected with family and friends back home.

    I personally found the variety of set-ups for the newly renovated versatile suite a bit overwhelming, but others might appreciate the flexibility.

    Affordable hotel in excellent location. Easy access to Terminal 5 via direct bus or the futuristic Heathrow Pod. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean and spacious rooms with comfortable beds. Bar open until late and restaurant until 10pm.

    Felt extremely welcome, no complaints whatsoever.

    We stayed at a hotel near Terminal 5 for our early flight and it was perfect. The room was clean and cozy, with a comfortable bed. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed a delicious meal in the restaurant. The location was convenient, with a quick pod ride to the terminal. The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of options. The hotel provided a shuttle service to the airport, which made our journey back stress-free.

    The room price seemed a bit high compared to other similar hotels.

    I was impressed to have a great view of the planes taking off and landing from my room. The shuttle service was very regular and handy. Despite the busy area, the room was surprisingly quiet. Overall I'd recommend this hotel.

    Staff helpful, short pod ride to Terminal 5, great breakfast. Clean and well-equipped for short/long stays. Would use again when flying from T5. No noticeable aircraft noise considering proximity to runway.

    I chose Thistle for its proximity to Heathrow Airport, as I wanted to watch airplanes take flight from the Runway View Restaurant & Bar. The on-site parking and the option to enjoy a drink and a hearty meal at the Runway View Bar and Terrace were pleasant surprises.

    Lack of sufficient tea bags.

    The staff were incredibly helpful and assisted us with our luggage, making our stay more enjoyable. The beds were really comfortable, allowing us to have a good night's sleep before our flight. The hotel's proximity to Terminal 5 was a major plus, as it made our journey to the airport quick and convenient. we loved the unique experience of using the pods to travel to the airport, it was a fun and hassle-free way to start our trip.

    The soundproofing in the rooms was quite poor, and we could hear a lot of noise from outside, especially considering the hotel is close to the runway. This made it difficult to get a good night's rest.

    Indulge in mouthwatering steaks and local culinary delights. Comfy beds and a generous check-out time enhance the stay. The room is well-equipped for a cozy retreat.

    Embrace the vibrant runway ambiance, though bring earplugs for a peaceful slumber. Save your pounds on the Pods;

    I chose Thistle for its proximity to Heathrow Airport, and it did not disappoint. The on-site parking for 450 cars was a pleasant surprise, and the Runway View Bar and Terrace offered a unique experience of watching airplanes take flight. The restriction on bringing in food and drink from outside the hotel added to the exclusivity of the experience.

    We had a great stay at a hotel near Thistle London Heathrow Terminal 5. The location was perfect for our layover, and the hotel had amazing amenities. We loved the futuristic experience of riding in the automated POD self-driving transport. The staff were very accommodating and the breakfast and dinner were delicious. The view of the runways from our room and the patio was a unique and enjoyable feature. The large lobby area was perfect for working and relaxing.

    I recently stayed at this hotel for one night before an early flight from T5. The staff were professional and helpful, and the hotel had a convenient location with easy access to the tube and the pod to the airport. The highlight was definitely the terrace bar, which offered an unrivalled view of the runway. It was a thrill to watch planes, including the A380, take off so close. Despite being located at the end of the runway, my room was surprisingly quiet. The hotel was a great option for a cheap overnight stay at LHR.

    Totally recommend this hotel.

    I frequently stay at this basic hotel when I fly. It's very close to the airport, clean, and comfortable. The staff may not be the friendliest, but that doesn't bother me. It's a good hotel for a night before flying. The location is ideal for Terminal 5, and the staff provided excellent service. They even arranged a wheelchair for my wife, who has a mobility impairment. The breakfast was a great value, and the restaurant has a fantastic view of the runway. The Travel Pod system is a great innovation.

    I do recommend this hotel.

    Staying in this hotel was a great decision for me. I had an early morning flight, so the location was just perfect. The hotel was really close to the airport, which made my trip much easier. I was also impressed by the cleanliness of the room. The hotel facilities were top-notch too. I particularly appreciated the good Wi-Fi connection available. The transportation was excellent as well, especially the bus service that took me to the airport in the early hours. the hotel staff were all very friendly and professional, and I enjoyed my stay.

    Absolutely nothing to say about dislikes.

    This budget hotel is ideal for a stopover before a morning flight, being really close to the airport. Guests can enjoy watching planes take off from a good table by the terrace. The staff are professional and helpful. Rooms are comfortable with nice beds and bathrooms. Breakfast is also a plus point.

    Some guests have complained about the thin walls and loud noise from other guests banging doors.

    Stayed here for a business trip and found the location extremely convenient, being close to Terminal 5 Heathrow. The noise from the planes did not disturb my sleep, which was a huge relief. The restaurant provided an excellent meal upon arrival, with attentive table service. The room itself had great facilities, including a large TV and efficient air conditioning to keep me comfortable.

    The reception staff were a letdown, struggling to handle multiple bookings and even causing some of us to be charged twice. The decor throughout the hotel was tatty and in need of a refurbishment.

    We had a great stay at a hotel conveniently located near Heathrow. The breakfast and evening meals were delicious, and we loved the atmosphere at the runway bar. Despite a few issues with parking and queues at check-in, the overall experience was enjoyable. The hotel offered a shuttle service, which came in handy for our pre-European river cruise. The runway views were amazing, and we were able to comfortably watch the planes come and go. The hotel also had wheelchair accessibility, making it convenient for guests with mobility needs. The fixed price dining option was affordable and satisfying. Additionally, the rooms were clean and the location was ideal for our needs. I would recommend this hotel for its convenience, tasty food, and comfortable accommodations.

    I chose this hotel for a work training session as it offers a variety of event spaces for different occasions. The facilities were well-equipped and provided a suitable environment for our training needs.

    The only service I missed for my work was the availability of a dedicated meeting concierge to assist with any last-minute arrangements during the event.

    My stay at Thistle was excellent. The hotel's location near the airport made getting to my early departure a breeze. The hotel itself was clean, bright, and had everything I needed in my room. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially when I realized I had left my iPad behind. They went out of their way to assist me in retrieving it, making sure I didn't leave behind something so important to me. it was a great experience.

    Couldn't find any faults at all. 👍

    The spacious rooms with their own lounge area and LCD TV were a delightful surprise. It felt like having a mini apartment right by the airport! The comfortable beds and complimentary mineral water made it a haven after a long day of travel. I even joked that I could host a small family gathering there.

    Limited parking spaces.

    Direct access to Terminal 5 via Ultra pods, so avant-garde! Free speedy internet to keep up with my social media addiction. Runway view for those insta-worthy moments. Lovely terrace, as long as the bar and restaurant are open.
