Access to the LHR - I wanted to take the Pods, so i paid GBP8 at the front desk, walked for about 2mins outside with my luggage, entered the long term parking through a gate that requires a code the hotel gave me, and then another few seconds to the Pods "terminal". The walkway is clearly marked but there is no shelter so if it's raining, you will get wet. The pods took about 5mins, and then it's an elevator ride to access departures. 7/10 on convenience to the airport. Hotel: Very basic, but with key amenitires. My room was the most basic, small with limited sound insulation. I could hear my next door neighbor sneeze. There are also no elevators to the rooms, so you'll have to carry your luggage up 30 steps. The staff were helpful and quick to give me a hand. The room itself was clean, the bed was comfortable, and i had a decent night's sleep. The room was cheap and it suited my budget so overall I was ok with the trade-offs.

Whenever we have a flight out of Heathrow we stay at The Thistle Hotel. The pods make it easy to access. The rooms are comfortable. It’s an older hotel but it’s clean, the staff are efficient and friendly and it’s affordable. We’ve stayed there many times and we’ve never had a bad experience.
