I stay at the Thistle whenever I am flying via Heathrow. Staff are excellent - very helpful and friendly. I stayed in a deluxe room. It has ironing facilities, robes, fridge, safe and coffee maker. Air con system is powerful - a necessity in London. I didn’t use the bar or restaurant this time, but I have in the past and the meal choices were simple and tasty. They also have room service up to 9:30pm. It is no frills but has everything you need at a very reasonable price point. I also use the POD to get to the Heathrow terminals and onward travel. Look forward to staying again in September.

Nice hotel and breakfast! Why doesn’t the Thistle hotel chain have luggage racks in their rooms! Makes is easier for people to open their cases. No one wants a suitcase in the bed!

Access to hotel from airport is difficult. There is no shuttle and the walk from the “POD” was long and difficult. The a/c was not working or set too high in common areas. Few amenities. However, the room was small and a bit dated, they were spotlessly clean. It’s not much of a hotel, but it served its purpose. Oh, and coffee machine in lobby wasn’t working. Instant coffee in the room with kettle.

Check in staff was very kind and courteous. Lobby clean. Paid extra for delex room, king size bed no room for luggage, and to move around. Rusty pips, no water pressure. If you are planing on eating in restaurant and you are handicap, I hope you can climb stairs, this is the only way to get there. I do like the POD they have to get to the airport, but that will cost you 8 pounds 50 each.

Tired hotel but in a very close proximity to terminal 5 Only self check in available which was a little confusing No lift available so beware. Rooms well air conditioned but tired bathrooms Ate in the restaurant in the evening ..ok but very ordinary The outdoor drinking area is lovely as it has a full view of the planes landing and taking off Its convenience for an pre flight stay and the prices paid would draw me back again but I would eat beforehand Just be aware if you are unable to carry luggage upstairs manually request a ground floor room

Great to have the restaurant with a balcony overlooking the landing strip of terminal five. the pod is a treat taking you from hotel to T5 and runs frequently. The only thing we all disliked were the mattresses on the beds. they were very uncomfortable. Otherwise staff were great and hotel was just fine.

Comfortable room with air con, tea and coffee making facilities and a terrace bar where we watched the planes landing. We have stayed here before and it’s a great place to stay if you have a flight from Heathrow airport.

Unfortunately we were only in residence for a few short hours, however we found it to be very comfortable & clean. Working out the English plumbing in the shower was bit of a challenge though! The staff were super helpful. We found getting to Thistle from T3 difficult & had to walk quite a distance, however the pod to T5 was excellent.

l've been staying at The Thistle Heathrow since the late 1990s and the recent renovations and staffing are really terrific. Also, having access via The Pod to and from Terminal 5, instead of the Hotel Hoppa, is a great advantage.

I stayed here because I thought there was an airport shuttle. It’s just the city bus, which is a short walk from the hotel.
