We liked the fact we where able to take a pod from The airport to the hotel. It meant we didn’t have to stay in the airport for our 12 hour layover. Also, the bed was very comfortable and the Pubs food was great.

Ideal if needing to overnight near Terminal 5 Heathrow. Clean tidy basic rooms with aircon. Good restaurant catering for GF also. Staff helpful. The pod transport was great. Could have done with a better pillow as they were all a bit lumpy.

We were extremely disappointed with this "hotel". The Thistle was definitely not as advertised. The room was very tiny, the bathroom extremely small and with bedroom furniture outdated and very worn. The windows were grimy and cloudy. Air Freshener was highly utilized throughout the hotel and more in the room to cover up any questionable smells. Not to mention the corridors could barely accommodate 2 travellers, going in different directions, with luggage. My husband and I will never stay there again.

Staff are fabulous

The staff here are amazing - very friendly and cheerful and couldn’t be more helpful! Really convenient for terminal 5 with the bus just a few minutes’ walk away. Comfortable room, decent breakfast. The only (tiny) gripe was that there was only 1 towel between the two of us, but that might have been because our room was changed at the last minute.
