Great connection to the airport, basic hotel

The hotel had a fantastic connection to terminal 5. However the hotel was very basic and the shop located inside the hotel was extremely expensive.
Robert, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved our stay at Thistle!

Super convenient location if you have a flight from T5. The bus stop is on the road at the hotel. The bed was comfy. We had buffet breakfast nexr day that was wonderful and a great value.

Ok for an overnight stay

Was ok . Bar not great though full of yobs and was like a motorway service station not a hotel so went across the road to the premier inn which was lovely
Helen, 1-night trip

Always enjoy staying here and one of the coolest bars I’ve been in
Richard, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent convenience to get to Terminal 5

The hotel room was quite basic but fine for our one-night stay. The meal we had in the restaurant was excellent and we enjoyed watching planes landing not far outside the large picture windows. What we really liked was how convenient and reasonably priced it was to use the pod to get from the hotel to Terminal 5 of the airport. I will likely stay here again when I come to England.

Terminal 5 stay

Bed was lovely - super bedding, comfy pillows. Easy access to T5 via the pod which was clearly explained on check-in. Would recommend for a morning flight.

Stayed here on a number of occasions, and will stay again.
Mark, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

A few prickles.

The hotel itself was quite a distance from the T5 terminal (£20 taxi) as pod was impossible to find. Staff very helpful and dinner was good standard. Great view of airfield.
Phillip, 1-night trip

London Adventure

I really enjoyed my stay there. The Aviator Restaurant as a highlight, especially the patio. Breakfast was great. The rooms were comfortable and the air conditioning a blessing in July. All in all a great hotel

Tired but convenient

Very Convenient for T5 with a 5 min transfer by driverless pod although there is a £8.50 per person per way charge. Rooms are tired and walls very thin. Staff really friendly and helpful.
Andrew, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Convenient location

The Thistle is an aging hotel in need of refurbishment. I have stayed before and will continue to stay due to the ease of access to T5 via the Pods
