Bit shabby around the edges, but a good nights sleep and a fantastic buffet breakfast. Very convenient for the Pod, but it’s an expensive option

A Great Stay
We stayed at Thistle Heathrow T5 for one night before our flight the next day.
The hotel was clean and comfortable and the Aviator bar and restaurant has great views of the runway.
The Heathrow Pods make it really easy to travel to and from the airport to the hotel and are lots of fun!
My only criticism of the hotel is the extortionate prices in the little shop by the entrance.

Great pre flight overnight stay !
Friendly reception staff on arrival , friendly staff in the restaurant, chatty but not invasive at the same time , all cleaning staff said good morning. Room clean and nighttime surprisingly quieter than thought as we're right next to T5 . Food in restaurant nice and a reasonable price . breakfast perfect too before leaving for our flight. Used Pod to travel to terminal, would recommend!
