Our room was comfortable. Restaurant is conveniently in the hotel with delicious choices. There is a convenient POD system that can take you to the Terminal 5 which doesn’t show up in Google maps. We got info about it from the front desk.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The Thistle is really convenient to Terminal 5 and the pods are a really easy way to transfer. Check in was easy and reception were friendly. The rooms are quite compact but the bed was comfortable and everything was spotlessly clean. The shower was good although I would prefer a shower screen as opposed to curtains. We ate upstairs and the quality of food was good. Drink prices were quite expensive ( a bottle of Malbec came in at £38.50) but I suppose that's London prices. The sports bar was very busy but service was good and the view from the terrace to Heathrow was great. Overall a good stay and really handy for Terminal 5.

Best view

The room was really nice and the bed was a queen and huge and very comfortable. It has a great shower and all body wash and conditioner. Loved the different teas in the room and shortbread biscuits. The restaurant and bar staff are lovely and the bar food is great. I best part is watching the planes on the runway while having breakfast.
