Premier Inn London Heathrow Airport Terminal 5

Rooms at the London Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 Premier Inn feature a king-size Hypnos bed and a comfortable chair (twin rooms have a double bed and a chaise longue/sofa bed), a writing desk, flat-screen television, tea and coffee making facilities and an en suite bathroom. All rooms have free Wi-Fi wireless internet access (up to 1GB per day).

The hotel also features the Thyme Bar & Grill, which has an international menu with mostly casual options. The hotel restaurant is open for breakfast and dinner. There is also a branch of Costa Coffee at the hotel.

Like other hotels in the Premier Inn chain, this hotel is clean and well maintained offering a great value accommodation option but it is somewhat lacking in character.

Although it is dubbed as Premier Inn’s Terminal 5 hotel, it is 2km (1¼ miles) from Terminal 5. It is not exactly a prime airport terminal location but it is easy to get to Terminal 5 by taking bus route 423, which stops outside the hotel. However, if you’re flying from Terminal 4, the Terminal 4 Premier Inn is your best option.

Parking is available but it costs £12 for 24 hours. However, the hotel has Sleep Park Fly specials that bundle accommodation and parking that work out better value.

Premier Inn is the largest hotel chain in the United Kingdom and usually scores very high on customer surveys when compared to other UK hotel chains. It operates at the budget end of the market and provides a reasonably high standard of accommodation for the price, and is comparable to ibis and Travelodge hotels.
