Holiday Inn London - Heathrow T5

Decent hotel, can walk to T5 (with a caveat)

Apr 7th, 2020

Unusually clean and non-depressing Holiday Inn. Close to T5, and you can walk in about 20 min (fast pace and no luggage). Walking involves crossing a small bridge without a pedestrian walkway, but just wait until there's no traffic, and off you go. Much quicker than a bus and cheaper than a cab. Would stay there again if need be. TRIPADVISOR.COM USER 

Great for T5 and quite quiet

I have stayed here several times before and the consistency impressed me. Not much aircraft noise but quite a bit of door noise from other guests. The doors slam noisily which is annoying if you arrived late and want to sleep beyond 0600hrs. Otherwise it’s a great hotel TRIPADVISOR.COM USER 

What’s in a name?

Really not sure how to review this one. The hotel was clean and quiet, the beds were comfy and the staff were very pleasant and helpful BUT I booked the hotel because we had an early flight and I thought the ‘Holiday Inn London Heathrow T5’ would be within walking distance of Heathrow T5. But it isn’t. You have to get to T5 then either wait around for a hopper bus, or try to take a taxi. The first few taxis at the T5 taxi rank wouldn’t take us (because they were hoping for a big fare back into London) and the one that did take us charged £25 for a 10 minute journey. I know I should probably have read the hotel details more carefully (I booked through Expedia) but I do think the name is very misleading. The hotel kindly booked us a car to take us back to T5 next morning and the driver indicated that a lot of people make the same mistake we did. Don’t be one of them! TRIPADVISOR.COM USER 

Modern Simple Hotel

Feb 13th, 2020

We were put here when BA cancelled our flight to Vienna at short notice. The hotel itself is fine with pleasant bedrooms maybe a bit on the small side. BA paid for our food but restricted what we could chose to a simple and fairly boring menu. It wouldn’t have been the sort of food I’d chose. The location of the hotel is on the outskirts of the village but there’s very little to do here. The shuttle bus to the airport runs i think about every thirty minutes and takes longer than you would expect. Nothing wrong with the hotel but I wouldn’t chose to stay in this location. I was also disappointed I couldn’t get the night credited to my IHG loyalty card. TRIPADVISOR.COM USER 

Chose another one - You will thank me later.

This hotel isn’t close to 4-stars as described on the travel sites. It is a very simple hotel, nothing fancy. The rooms are very modest, with just the basic and very small. The security is very bad, after we checked in and were in our room, another guest open our door with his key before the staff assigned him the same room as us. Terrible!!!!! Too much money for this level of hotel. Look somewhere else please. TRIPADVISOR.COM USER
